Baldo by Hector D. Cantú and Carlos Castellanos for November 02, 2008

And some familes leave extra food for the spirits of those that have no families to honor and remember them.

Our dead are not gone, until we have forgotten them.

thhis is one of the most touching and educational story arcs I have ever seen. It would be great if there were more like this.

What a touching ending. I really liked this story arc.

Happy Sunday ladies and gents. Glad to hear you’ve enjoyed this short story. We’ve received so many positive emails already, and of course the comments here have been awesome. Thank you all for taking the time to share your thoughts.

Also, a special thanks also to “El Muerto’ creator Javier Hernandez for working with us on this arc. You can learn more about El Muerto at www.elmuerto.com, and of course feel free to visit us anytime and say hello at www.baldocomics.com/blog.

Off to go fishin’ with my boys. : )

What honorable and touching this strip is? I am very pleased after I read the strip. I seldom visited at the cemetery where my parents died at. I will not forget them. When the time goes on, I have no chance to stop by and visit there but I will not forget them. I will treasure them eternally.

This is so beautiful! When my father died we scattered his ashes in a wilderness area that he loved. I’m able to honor him in my heart and know he is happy. I will see him again one day.

JPuzzleWhiz- we’ve only told Rosa’s full story once, and it has been one of our most popular story arcs. Not only because we reveal Rosa’s back story but because it was also intertwined with how Tía Carmen came to stay with the family. Additionally, the art was drawn in a more realistic style to amplify the dramatic effect.

Thanks for the strip. I was deeply touched. I’m unable to visit my mother’s grave because she’s buried in her native homeland of the Philippines. But I do keep a pictures of her in my apartment and in my purse.

God Bless!

I of course remembered the tragic story about Rosa who was killed by the drunken man and Tia Carmen went to help raising Baldo and Gracie and lived with them. It was very blessing Tia Carmen to do anything for them and their father’s sakes.
