Baldo by Hector D. Cantú and Carlos Castellanos for January 18, 2013

Mary Chapin Carpenter said it best in her song:

Girls like me aren’t hard to find We grow like roses on the vine We wear our hearts on our sleeves You probably know a girl like me.

We live alone and in our heads We eat standing up or in our beds Guilt and fear merge easily In the quiet souls of girls like me

And loneliness is like a cold, Common and no cure we’re told We take to bed per chance to dream In the blue light of the TV screen.

Girls like me like summer light And cold beer on a summer night And boys who aren’t afraid of what they see Inside the eyes of girls like me

And hopefulness is like a drug It makes a girl believe in love And if somehow you love us back You think there’s something wrong with that

Girls like me aren’t hard to trust Your deepest secret’s safe with us And when it’s time to set you free You can always count on girls like me

It’s good to know a girl like me You used to love a girl like me

Groucho Marx paraphrased: I wouldn’t want to go out with any woman willing to go out with me.

Did Baldo forget about the two cute girls who are both interested in him?

I miss Smiley. Hate what the writers did to her.

Makes perfect sense to me!

Yep

Another time he did try to join a swim club, but was denied for being Jewish. He asked, “My daughter’s only half Jewish. Can she come in up to her knees?”

that’s why it says “paraphrased”.

In situations like this they should seek inspiration from the bible:

“The geeks shall inherit the earth.”

Story of my life.

Chicks are waaaaaaay more trouble than they are worth.
