Baldo: The Lower You Ride, the Cooler You Are #[nn]

Hector Cantú and Carlos Castellanos bring their beloved Latino teen to life in this 2001 Andrews McMeel collection, subtitled *The Lower You Ride, the Cooler You Are*. The cover says it all: Baldo slouches behind the wheel of a gleaming yellow lowrider, cool shades perched on his nose and a knowing smirk on his face, practically daring you not to smile back. It's a warm, funny snapshot of a strip that celebrates family, culture, and the particular swagger of growing up.
