Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for February 08, 2024

Sorry Hammie you’re not even close.

Well, Hammie, tough luck. Parent’s law supersedes a petition.

Okay. We are now serving veggies for dessert.

So far Hammie hasn’t had enough life experience to have learned that no matter how many people speak, or what they say, they darned well can be denied.

Wren looks proud of her political activism.

Sorry Hammie but she’s still the parent and the parent has the say so. Your petition is denied.

Now we know what the petition was about!

Dad would not buy it, so let’s try Mom?!

Did anyone notice wren’s pigtail in panel 2 ?

“Jelly Talks”

The road to the Supreme Court is long.

Jelly smudge signature for Wren; love it. As good as an X.

Couldn’t even get Zoe on board? I would have thought that would be an eazy sell.

Hammie, you didn’t get Dad’s and Zoe’s signatures.

Nice try!

“We have found ‘Errors’ in these signatures. You may not run against the Dictat… er, President. And BTW, your Cell is ready…” ☺

If dessert is served first it will potentially be a real letdown, going from the sweetest food to what I assume Hammie generally thinks tastes worse. Even when I was his age, I always worked my way around my plate in ascending order of how much I enjoyed any given component of the meal.

Cert denied…

Strawberry jelly is not legally binding.Only grape.

Ah yes, Hammie is definitely going to grow up to be a used car salesman or a politician. My money is on politician at this point.

That would have been a sure way NOT to have any dessert and a paddling to boot.

Sorry, Hammie, two “signatures” do not constitute a true petition, which is not legally binding anyway, particularly since both of the signers are still minors.

Wren notarized it.

Asparagus for desert coming up.

The democratic language is kinda sweet.

Nice try Hammie.

Wanda should reference “Rose is Rose” September 28th 1994, for an excellent reason why you can’t have dessert first!

To calvin123: Yes, but it turned white from the stress in that panel…

yeees pigtIL PROBLEMS

Hammie seems under the impression that his family is a Democracy …

Over in today’s Calvin & Hobbes, we find that Calvin, like Hammie, is laboring under the delusion that there’s some kind of democratic process at work in the administration of the family.

Silly Hammie! A family is not a democracy. Never was, never will.
