Product Description

Baldo is the 15-year-old title character in a hilarious new comic, the first nationally syndicated strip to depict a Latino family's lives. This refreshingly hip new collection captures the lifestyle and humor of the country's fastest-growing ethnic group through the adventures of a typical American teenager, who just happens to live a salsa-mix life of mainstream sensibilities and Latino culture. The result is a merry combination of silliness that rings true, whether Baldo and his buddies are dreaming of girls or building the sweetest low-rider car imaginable.

I like it
I've been a fan of Baldo for a few months now and I really look forward to the morning comics so I can read this strip. Along with Get Fuzzy and Garfield, this is one of the best comics out there. I don't have the book yet, but having read this strip for a while, I think I am allowed to put in a comment right here.

Great reading!
I thought this was an excellent book! I would deffinately recommend it!

Funny, funny, funny.
This book is a hallarious compilation of previously published strips. I LOVE the Bermudez family, they are a great cast of characters with so much potential. There's just nothing else like it in syndication. I would reccomend this book to anyone who's interested in reading a funny, funny strip with a new perspective on everyday situations. Cantu and Castellanos do a wonderful job of bringing this family to life.The art is first rate, and among the best there is. I can't wait for the second book to be released.
