The stories

Socorro is accepted into a special school and travels north, with Luba, to be interviewed. She's so smart they pass her on to an even better school.

“Kisses for Pipo”

Boots fills the reader in on the history and interrelationships of the cast and how they have developed over the years.

“Snail Trail”

Luba's kids, Socorro and Joselito, steal the neighbour's car so they can follow Luba one night. They end up crashing it in the countryside, and have to sneak a ride back to town. There they have to ask a stranger (Hector) to help them make it the rest of the way, and arrive home just before Luba.

“El Baile”

An eight-panel sequence featuring Fritz in a ballerina outfit.
