So this comic is pretty ancient by internet standards — it’s from 2005, way back before we had robot sex slaves and flying cars — but it speaks to us even today, as we mournfully swallow this delicious plate of chilaquiles in pill form. Latinos? Do make friends for stupid reasons. Reasons like, oh. Having cool clothes that happen to be in our size. Being attractive enough to be seen with in public, but not so attractive that people will not talk to us first. Being open, unselfish and in possession of a water bed with a vibrating feature. So when we read about Jaime and his love for all this related to science, we merely nod in understanding while shooting at killer robot armies with our highly advanced laser guns.

Because it so us. Ju know? Click the thumb for full size. And watch out for that flying Prius coming at ya.

But, seriouslyish. What examples of Latinos on, say, television, do you find to be little more than a means of “making fun” of us? The bee man from “The Simpsons?” “The Colbert Report’s” Esteban character? Anything C*rlos M*ncia has ever said or done? Tell us.
