6/3/2023 0 Comments Jaime hernandez locas![]() ![]() Tonta’s about to visit her older half-sister Vivian, and this is one way the story is linked to Hernandez’s earlier cast. For Tonta herself, this means obsessing about the band Ooot, having a crush on its new singer Eric, bickering with her two younger sisters, and nurturing a passive-aggressive friendship with Chata. Tonta’s life is bound to the past, but the beauty of youth is that there’s an emotional bubble that allows for freshness to occur, with no acknowledgement of what came before you. The past and the future are impossible to separate, even when it comes to the life of a high school kid existing at the far end of the future. In Tonta, when you look into the past, there is a mirror staring right back at you. But at the same time, Tonta does pay a lot of attention to the past, though eschews nostalgia for a more sobering gaze. At best, the world that Maggie and Hopey stomped through is a distant ghost. On first glance, Tonta is a decisive move to the future, since it focuses on one of the youngest of Hernandez’s cast of characters and plants itself firmly within her life. ![]()
