Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for October 30, 2022

First you’ll need a forklift just to get it off the car.

That car will be crushed going over the first pothole

If you hollow it out, you can create a Cinderella carriage.

Big gourd.

No sharp corners Darryl!

Break out the chainsaws!!!!!

The kids are thrilled; the car’s suspension isn’t.

Talk about a Great Pumpkin.

holey pumpkin pies, Batman!

to get a pumpkin that size they must’ve been out of their gourds…

Made like a variation of the “Old Lady That Lived In A Shoe” and be the “MacPherson Family That Lives In A Pumpkin”.

Its the pumpkin from Halloweentown!

After this week’s strips the Forths could use it as a new garage . . .

nah, they’d probable live in it for awhile. ;)

Dig out the seeds with a backhoe, carve it with a chainsaw.

\\//_

It’s the 2022 Honda Agourd.

Oh my, with that thing Zoe is definitely going to be Cinderella for Halloween. Now that she has the Carriage, looks like Hammie will have to to dress up as the driver.

More of a Cinderella 747

Next comes the MacPherson Family Xmas Tree

Could fill it with helium and …….

Big enough to live in?

Looks like fun! One year, we took a family trip in the fall that led past some farm stands. (I’m from the low desert: no agriculture at home.) I saw the biggest pumpkin ever and begged and pleaded to have it. My parents finally gave in, but it had to ride under my feet all the way home. I sat cross-legged with my feet kind of on it. It was huge.

We got it carved and had it for Halloween, but then my folks could not bring themselves to throw away that much food. Long before the Internet, my dad hit the public library and got a book telling how to make the thing into pies. We froze the cooked pureed pumpkin and had pies all year!

you been watching halloween wars again?

Or maybe a house.

Don’t carve it; paint it…..

That looks like very dangerous driving.

Just make sure to take a route home that doesn’t go through a tunnel.

So they are cool parents after all! (a reference to yesterday’s strip)

Soon they’ll be passed by the overloaded Ikea car.

Laughed way too much at this, thank you!

The 1,000 lb pumpkin…

Haha! XD

Another example of comic physics, because a pumpkin that large would crush the car. The Guinness World Record-breaking pumpkin, nicknamed Michael Jordan, weighed 2,749 pounds and it didn’t look as large as that monstrosity on top of the car.

And what would a pumpkin that size cost? The one’s I saw at the store today were $4.99 and were about the size of basketball.
