Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for April 07, 2022

Yesterday when I said the cat could be clinging to his nose when they came out, I didn’t expect to hit it this close.

He’s a stabby tabby

Yay! Darryl and Eugene made it out safely! (Or, you know, as safe as you can get when there’s a fire)

made it out safely by a nose

Only Rapunzel would be happier to see a Eugene alive.

He’s a hero! With a bandaged face, probably.

Happy ending for Eugene anyway! Good man Darryl!

Being a hero hurt!

At last that schnoz has a use. Cat perch.

who names a cat “eugene”…?

Reentering a house on fire to save a cat? What numnuts thought this was a good idea?

Don’t go into a burning house in search of an animal.

Fortunately for Darryl it appears to have been hiding behind the front door.

Cats usually make nastier sounds when they are frightened.

He better get some sort of medal for this.

Smart cat!

Darryl’s kids will love him for this.They might even let him nap undisturbed,

yea but he’s a hero now.

Well done!

My hero!

Good for you Darryl. Good job.

Glad he had glasses on to protect his eyes!

That’s gotta hurt

reminds me of the time my daughter and I gave one particular cat a bath. I literally had to extract 2 sets of claws out or her arm and pry the cats jaws open to get it’s fangs out of my daughters’ shoulder.

I’m gonna say it again, that’s why I’m not a cat person.

Scared cats are nothing to sneeze at. Seriously watch some vet videos on Youtube.

I think the cat would have gotten out of the house long before the lady.

I’m sorry – not – but I am compelled to condemn this cartoon, and the next day’s one as well. An untrained and unequipped person should never, never, never, NEVER enter a burning building, even if it’s to save another person. The risk is much too great and no pet is worth it. Losing a person is bad, but if the rescuer perishes while attempting a rescue that means two people, not just one, died because of the fire.

I implore, nay, demand, the cartoon’s authors retract the two comics and issue an apology for their seriously mistaken effort at humor.

Haha! XD

You’re a good man, Darryl M!

OUCH!!! Cat claws HURT!!!

Didjya know that’s b’cause they got a type ’f venom?
