Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for August 03, 2022

I just take conscious control over my breathing. Usually takes far less than a minute.

Almost certain you look better that way.

Try scaring him, Zoe I’m sure you can think of many ways to horrify Hammie.

An actual cure that works is: Take a glass of cool water (std. 8-oz glass), hold your breath till you count a slow ten (doesn’t matter if you still hiccup, just keep counting and holding your breath in), and then drink the water. Dunno How it works- but have used with success for Years. You’re welcome.

Seriously…. where do the kids in comic scripts learn to be so nasty?

At least Zoe didn’t substitute a plastic bag for the paper bag.

Good thing it wasn’t a plastic bag Hammie!

It’s a small size of the unknown comic.

Yep, like I said, Zoe is just mean spirited. Hammie needs to pick up on the word ‘almost’ and pursue it further for the exact thing their mom said.

eh, close enough…

Scare the bejesus out of him Zoe. Pretend to actually care for Hammie. That will scare the hiccups out of him.

“I’m telling mom!”

“What for?”

“You’re doing it wrong.”

“This is the way you told me to do it!”

“Where are your hiccups?”

“They’re gone!”

“You’re welcome…”

Well his head is in the bag and he is breathing…lol

Whatever works.try ginger ale

Close, but no cigar Zoe.

hiccups are a sign of not enough oxygen in your blood. just take deep breaths,(don’t hold them) til the hiccups stop. won’t take long. Not an old wives tale. Straight from the Dr.’s mouth!

Hiccups are cause by a spasm of the diaphragm, which is a muscle. Anything that promotes relaxation of the diaphragm, like controlled breathing or a backrub, helps.

AAAAH! a few minutes after I read the comments I got the hiccups!

The Unknown Comic strikes again!

Taking several deep breaths always helps me!
