Approaching a painting of a woman in historic Chinese garb, he read from the placard, “this young woman, Ellis Zhou was a barbell lifting champion in China before moving to New Mexico. there she opened a luxury hotel which can be seen in the background of the movie, ‘Too Much Dust to Settle.'” Rodrigo then commented, “like all great films it has a magnificent story, but starts off a bit slow.” Reading the placard for the next painting of a man with a long beard, Rodrigo said, “and this is Seth Klothe, cartographer and owner of the world’s most valuable yardstick. He never gave up on Columbus’s theory that he was in India, and drew up maps of New Mexico accordingly, demanding people refer to Santa Fe as New Delhi.” The next painting was of a girl in a red dress playing a violin, and Rodrigo read, “this is Nina ‘the string.’ the youngest Dutch violinist to ever perform Rieu’s ‘Voices of Spring’ at the Hatch classical chile competition in 1892. A real tearjerker. She earned a 5-chile rating for it too. Which might explain some of the tears, because nobody told her they were spicy before she ate them.”

Loving all of the great New Mexico callouts!
Yay space battles!
Was there not enough room to call out Seth Klothe’s tremendous Nostradamus impersonation? He’s a dead ringer for the guy.
Space Battles? (!) I’m setting my Spaceman Spiff blaster to Deep Fat Fry!
i’m loving the colors here!
Chile is the country, chili is the pepper. I think you meant the latter in the final panel.
Is New Mexico in Chile? I know thet get a lot of people (who don’t live there) questions about how the mail gets delivered, because, you know, NEW Mexico is part of Mexico… but this is a new one.
Or are they growing hatch chilis in Chile now?

Up in the mountains … where it’s chilly.
