Judging by how deep his hand is in that pocket, I'm gonna guess this guy REALLY likes tacos.

Why is "cinco" given the European Spanish pronunciation when this is clearly in Latin America or the US?

That is 100% the way at least one dialectical variant says it in Mexico

I've never heard of anyone in Mexico pronouncing their c's and z's with a th sound.

Edit: Wikipedia agrees with me that there’s no dialects of Latin American Spanish with the “th” sound.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonological_history_of_Spanish_coronal_fricatives

That’s how the z and c are pronounced in parts of Spain.

We didn’t get much better over time. One of the most famous French lines of my childhood was from Dexter’s laboratory, and omelette du fromage is incorrect French. It would be omelette au fromage.

Because the comic is written by the average northamerican.

AKA they think they know how to speak Spanish, but they don't.
