Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for June 22, 2024

A girl dressing him sounds a bit racy.

Howling won’t help now.

She’s a bit on the pushy side.

sigh⠄⠄⠄ being a toy boy ain’t easy

Hammie, give her the test of true love, “please, Pull my finger” the answer will be if she stays or goes

I really can’t wrap my mind around the concept of Hamish, er, Hammie being a “stud muffin”.

It seems Jenny thinks having a boyfriend is like playing with a real live Ken doll.

The rugged lone wolf is about to be tamed! (If Jenny has her way!

This reminds me of when I was in the 7th grade, at Dunbar Junior High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, back in the early ‘70s. I had just got inducted into the Junior Beta Club. A few months later, I was being chased by a 9th grade girl. I would run when I see her and one day hid behind my science teacher. Finally, one day I told my father. He was a Missionary Baptist Pastor, and I had this conversation with him:ME: Dad, this 9th grade girl is chasing me!!DAD: What does she want?ME: I don’t know Dad.DAD: Let her catch you.ME: OK Dad!! (I thought to myself though, “Gee, Thanks Dad!!”)So, the next time she saw me, I let her “catch me”. She told me her name and what she wanted. She asked me had I done the ‘Nasty Nasty’ (for those of you who have an idea of what she meant, I didn’t!!) I told Dad of what she wanted. That’s when we had “The Talk.” What I didn’t know was I had “The Smith Charm”. Dad knew it, but I didn’t.Poor Hammie!!

I think Jenny’s going to find her rude behavior will be paid back in spades. But that’s next week.

Oh well, 90 days left of summer. We’ll see how long this plot lasts.

She doesn’t sound like a GF, she sounds like a mother. Ditch her, Hammie!

Um, Hammie… I don’t think she’s listening at all.

I just wonder what her big plan is? Dates in the park? Bragging rights to “have” a boyfriend? Will some advantage show up so that he likes the relationship? (Like, majorly pick on his big sister?)

“Arooooooooo werewolves of London”

It’s too late Hammie.

♪♫ “’Cause every girl crazy ’bout a sharp dressed man…” ♪♫

sounds like she’s not giving him a choice…

This is kidnapping or something!

I think Jenny just gave Hammie a ‘wedgie’ from the top. Fourth panel would have teh Arooo cut-off and choking sounds being emitted.

finally a funny thread, good one

It doesn’t matter what you want Hammie. That’s a crucial data point you’d be remiss in overlooking.

Funny

Let one rip Hammie, that should do the trick.

So this is how it started?

looks like it’s gonna be a loooong summer, Hamish!…(methinks he’s gonna be happy when school starts!)

Zoe is going to enjoy this if she didn’t set this up

Hammy, Hammy, I expected better of you. You’ve become a WIMP. Never let your MOTHER treat you that way – let alone a female peer.

With a howl like that, maybe his underwear is riding up.

I thought Hammie was about 5 or 6 years old. Wanda would be keeping a closer eye on him and his playmates. No matter what the age, there would be no dressing or undressing. And where’s his nosy sister?

LOL!

She might be just the ticket for Hammie…at least for now. And remember, she said “Summer boyfriend”. Dude, that’s a lot shorter than “school year boyfriend”.

I don’t like this girl. Hammie should be free!

I hope she likes boogers.

Maybe next, she’ll take him home, and ask him to dress HER. Then both sets of parents will start worrying.

Precocious and predatory prepubescent behavior should be cooties suspected!

run Hammie run!

Don’t cave Hammie, stay true to yourself.

As much as I dislike the frequency in this comic strip and as crude as it may seem, now is the time to toot, Hammie.

Racy? Have you seen some of the pop up ads on these pages?

Pushy, inconsiderate, self-absorbed, and vain. Not exactly what I would consider ideal gf material.

Hw’s doomed.

An unnatural match.

I would say ‘Poor Hammie’ … Nah, this is too good an arc ♥

Stick to your guns, Hammie.

Seems to me that this could be this generations’ idea of bullying.
