Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for July 02, 2024

Passive aggressiveness does not work on an overly literal kid. I know. I was one.

HA!!

good one, Hammie

too bad the old lady ain’t got no sense of humor

You’re lucky she didn’t dump the whole mess on your head Hammie. And then make you carry each item to where it belongs.

Hammy is in the same momsphere with his uncle Jeremy from Zits today.

That went over like a lead balloon, Hammie!

Shouldn’t his arms and legs be sticking from the edges of the wall corner?

There’s a slightly sour smell coming from our 9-year-old’s room this morning. Time for HIM to (1) find the source, and (2) learn why the HECK we put a trash can in his room!!

Hammie McPherson is well on the way to becoming the next Jeremy Duncan.

Do I want to know why there was a frying pan under his bed?

Ham-splaining.

I would’ve gotten a lot more than a time out.

At least you get to sit. We had to stand. “That’s it! Stand in the corner for ONE HOUR!” It felt like an eternity. An hour is a long time to a little kid.

That’s not fair! All Hammie did was give his mom a helpful healthy advice.

A kid with an attitude like that needs his butt lifted off the floor but at least a foot ( unintended pun here)

She may need to exercise her paddling arm (and hand).

FYI Hammie, Wanda is not accepting Smart @ss responses today either.

Confucius say “Never drop hints on someone who is clueless as they will fall to the ground and whither.”

I fondly remember my kids telling me their rooms were clean. I’d go upstairs with my broom and sweep it under their beds to find they’d take the easy route to getting rid of the mess!

funny

Love the extra touch of the frying pan. :-D

Studio audience: Oooooohhhhhh.

But what will the monsters under the bed do for entertainment / nourishment now that you’ve removed everything from under the bed?

Unfortunately he is a little young to get the gist of what she was saying.

Did you get all the monsters?

I’m curious about the frying pan….

Mom then supervise Hammie on cleaning out his room. I remember when my kids was little, I told them have a treasure hunt and clean their rooms.

I’ll ask the obvious, how did that work out for you Hammie?

Wanda needs to use plainspeak for Hammie

I coulda sworn that in the third panel we were gonna see Hammie in a box by the curb with a sign: “Free”

Not helpful, moron.

Been there Hammie, been there. haha

“A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.”

I thought we could make it through the year without hammie getting timeout.
