By: Dave Astor "Baldo" survey results are in, and the comic's fans are mostly satisfied with the work of co-creators Hector Cantu and Carlos Castellanos.
The percentage of "excellent" ratings were as follows: art (82%), writing (74%), humor (74%), character development (73.5%), and story lines (72%).
Also, 90% of the 150 respondents like the current mix of story lines and gag-a-day episodes, and 64% want the characters to continue to "stay young forever" rather than "grow old in real time."
The favorite character is the teen Baldo himself (52%), followed by Tia Carmen (24%), the sister Gracie (16%), and the dad Sergio (8%).
Forty percent of respondents are Latino and 60% are non-Latino.
