Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for January 24, 2025

She’s jealous that he’s having fun

Wanda. Wren is not 19 months. That’s a baby. Wren is definitely older,

He feels young… that’s good.

Wanda is really fast with mental calculations.

so is Wanda a cougar, or a cradle robber?

Darryl’s just taking a little break from the boredom of shopping!

Oh, so he is 36!

The difference between men and boys is the price of their toys.

When I was teaching 8th graders the kids would always ask questions like, “How tall are you?” or “How old are you?”

It would always blow their young little minds when I told them, “Well, I am 72 inches tall and I am 756 months old.”

Boys must have their toys!

Not just today its a rerun, since Monday. The two writers must be taking a week break.

A man with no boy left in him is no fun Wanda

I can’t speak for all men, of course, but it is certainly true with me, to a very large degree.

The children in this family don’t age at the same rate.

C’mon folks, no , comic ages and comics history don’t jive. It is called artistic license

….. after all, Popeye (1929) isn’t really 95 tears old. Neither is Blondie (1930)

There’s an old addage – “Growing older is mandatory, growing up is optional”. Everyone needs to let their inner-child out occasionally.

He’s still adorable.

Stay away from the candy department

Once we heard my little brother (5 at the time) playing with a toy airplane, voice in an “official” drone manner as if on a radio: “Taking off for landing, taking off for landing…..”

I have done the mathematics, and the result is in: 36 years!

I wonder if Darryl will stay 36 years old forever (I did the math).

Wow. She missed her calling as an algebra teacher.

What’s with the lady’s hair???

And yet this is the 4th year in a row that Wanda has been 348 months old. Typical.

Darryl’s still growing

— well his nose is, anyway

You said it, Wanda! Four hundred thirty two! LOL!

I am 750 months, how many months are you?

Yup. “… the price of the toys.”

I miss those balsa wood airplanes with the rubber band propellers, so simple yet hours of joy when I was a kid.

When they are over 12 months old you can start rounding out to years

before looking at the third panel, I couldn’t help but think she wasn’t asking about Hammie! Lol!!

Just ignore them Darryl, enjoy your inner child.

LOL

All men are little boys at heart, especially in the toy section.
