   Is “beatiful” something that’s going to be beatified (recognized by the Roman Catholic church as a saint)?

Fascinating!

   These knitters are holding their needles upside down. I wish the cartoonist would look at a few real knitters before drawing them!

   I had to get into this website version of the cartoon because the e-mailed one was too blurred to read. It seems like a lot of today’s e-mailed cartoons were rather blurry.

   I’m wondering why we are sometimes not getting the Spanish-language Baldo. I often learn new-to-me Spanish words there!

   I so appreciate the creators of this comic reinforcing the idea that school is a GOOD thing. I wish the Grand Avenue creators had more of that attitude. There are so many children (think of the girls in Afghanistan, for instance) who would love, love, love to have the opportunity for an education.
