The Very Loving Caterpillar

Yes, this comic is often confusing, but to me this one should be understandable (except the life cycle of caterpillars is often too short; 7 to 14 days is common). Is this some mythical creature?

My first thought was that this was part of a series, but this is the previous one, which has no connection (and could be treated as a CIDU in its own right). Guau translates as wow or woof.


Or, maybe the next one is part of a series. But no, although this one’s more straightforward.

The artist lives in Mexico City, if that explains any of the cultural references.

Thanks to Usual John for sending this head-scratcher; and for introducing us to the work of Guillermo Saldaña. Here’s what Comics Kingdom offers as their “About” for Palurdeando:

Palurdo is an adjective; it means “rustic and ignorant.” Now, we turn this adjective into a verb. What do we get?

Palurdeando is a comic strip where everything has a place. From the simplest joke to the harshest critique. Although it has some recurring characters, such as Bernardino or Holy Pigeon and Little J, everything and everyone is welcome.

So let’s palurdemos for a bit.
