Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for January 27, 2025

Five dollars. Maybe now Hammie can go to a movie…by himself…

Be on he lookout for toothless drone pilots.

is there a jaw fairy?

Hammy has it all figured out!

I remember getting a nickel for a tooth. Which is $0.53 in today’s market. Hammie’s making out!

Put it towards your dental bill!

You won’t have any money saved for a drone if you spend it on jawbreakers.

Wow!

For five dollars (probably £4 in England), l could have bought 6 months worth of comics and sweets and still have my bus fare home.

Mind you, that was 45 years ago.

Get back here, young man!

Compliment him on forward thinking, savings minded etc. Then close and lock the bathroom door so you can finish shaving before his big sister comes in all jealous etc.

The going price is five bucks now?

Ya gotta spend money to make money

Hammie is a capitalist! :)

you may run out of teeth before you get half-way to your goal. :j

I use to get a quarter

I think you’ll run out of teeth long before you make drone money, Hammie.

Presuming Hammie hasn’t lost any other baby teeth yet, he has 19 more to go. At $5 a tooth he’d have $95 which would buy a fairly nice beginners drone. Hope he likes strained peas, carrots, etc.

Switch to marshmallows

The only thing I got back was a new tooth.

Hmm, I see a serious drawback to this plan, and the whole Tooth Fairy inflation thing.

So if a person were to lose his or her dentures, that would be $160, all at once. That, and a couple of trips to the Red Cross, and you’d be rolling in dough.

What is amazing, Hammies plan on making money, is still better than the typical American Redneck plan for retirement, which is to play the lottery.

Yikes! I am getting so old! I remember the Tooth Fairy always left me a shiny new quarter.

Good investment on a 25cent jawbreaker

Reminds me of a Baby Blues, I think before Hammie was born. Zoe has lost a tooth. Darryl reaches in his wallet and pulls out a bill in the dark hallway outside of her room. He slips the bill under Zoe’s pillow while she is fast asleep. The next morning Zoe excitedly comes out of her bedroom waiving a $20 bill. Darryl says to himself “Next time the Tooth Fairy needs to turn on the hallway light.”

Isn’t Hammie a little old to believe in the tooth fairy?

At least he has a plan.

!!!think he will get to that point in this life-time?

Toss those jawbreakers in the trash Darryl, a drone will be cheaper than dental bills in the long run.

I only got a quarter…

Extreme LOLs here!!!

why are they running reruns?

won’t be long and his mouth will actually be just as it’s pictured here!

If he keeps using the money to buy jawbreakers, how is he going to save for a drone?
