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

Adm. Ackbar warned you that it always is

My wife is good about cutting up fruit for both of us for dinner and usually cuts up extra so I/we can have some for lunch the next day. I do appreciate it. If left up to me, I’d just grab a banana and peel as I ate at the table.

Maybe he thought that she was going to eat half of it after doing all that work. After all, she brought up the subject of apples, so she may have been thinking about eating half of one.

But she didn’t do any of those things.

I want an apple that’s been in the microwave for about 3 or 4 minutes. I might add sugar and cinnamon but just the apple is good.

Bait and switch.

Psyched you out, Darryl!

Like she was really going to do that!

Why does this remind me of Adam and Eve…?

And caramel dip.

Definitely should have seen that one coming!!

HAR! Good cartoon. big old smile. :-D thx Rick and Jerry!

I love apples. My wife and I share one at lunch every day.

Ya think?

Darryl, look up “sarcasm” in the Dictionary… ☺

Yep, just as I figured. Zoe gets off once again without being punished for taking all of Hammie’s candy.

Sometimes a man doesn’t really know what he wants until his wife lets him know. And sometimes a man doesn’t know what he really needs until his wife lets him have it.

I’m afraid she instigated it. And he took the bait.

I would have said, “Oh no, you can skip the artful arrangement part.” Probably with the same result.

looks awfully familiar. Scott and Jeremy, have you met my wife

Ask Wanda if she wants to go out to dinner. When she says ‘yes’, shove her out the door.

Do people actually store apples in the ’fridge???

If she knocked your teeth out, then you’d be eating applesauce

An apple by any other name, prepared in its freshness, still tastes the same…….

I had a boyfriend who said he wouldn’t eat an apple unless his mom cut it up for him and put it on a plate. I really don’t know why I stayed with him as long as I did. ＼（〇_ｏ）／

The usual no-win scenario…

Apples are considered artful when roasting a whole pig, so I guess she got the “artful” part right.

I use to cut off the skin of the apple and cut it in pieces for my husband who had difficulty eating. I cut it in pieces for myself and eat it all except the seeds and stem!!!

Not the apple that he really wanted.

Darryl you’re no longer the Apple of her eye.

Isn’t that what Eve said, to paraphrase…

being too lazy for all the prep work isn’t a crime. Especially if he doesn’t ask you to wait on him. You did the asking!

That did work out as planned did it Darryl?

This. It was true of my father, true of my husband, true of my sons.

And some peanut butter on each slice except for one. Put some real wasabi on that one.

Typical husband . . .

Wait . . . I guess I’m typical, too.

“Well, if you go to all that work, it would be rude and thoughtless of me not to eat it.”

Put a core in it.

when I was young, if I was ever eating an apple and my dad was around, he’d ask for a bite, I’d oblige, and he’d devour half the apple in one fell bite!… (to be fair, he paid for it, so… lol!)

I want slices cut into rabbit shapes.

woah oh woah oh woah oh
