Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for October 05, 2022

Reporting is the same thing as tattling young lady.

I hate Zoe’s tattling. I’m an older sibling in real life, and I did plenty of older sibling things that Zoe does at her age, but that would drive me crazy as a parent.

older siblings are supposed to be role models to their younger siblings, not bullies

Zoe’s tattling makes me happy that i’m an only child. No one to tattle on me or for me to tattle on. ;D

I have a big sister. I had to tattle…for survival

In later years Zoe McPhearson became a famous reporter for Inside Edition!

Asterisks solve everything.

Future FBI Special Agent Zoe McPherson.

I have an older sister and I don’t recall her tattling on me. Her “reports” to mom usually ended up saving my @ss from bigger consequences.

Once Hammie gets bigger, Zoe may not make it to here teenage years. Accidents happen on the home ALLLLLLLL the time. BWAHAHAHAHA!

I so want to really not like this kid but…she is a kid. In a comic :D

Never mind the tattling—what about the first time (that I know of) this strip has featured a meta-style crack in the 4th wall?

Very few people truly like a tattletale, mostly because they never know when they will get tattled on. The tattler usually winds up being told upon too.

I have 5 older siblings & a baby brother. The one just older than me is a brother, and we used to tattle on each other. We did other mean-sibling things to each other as well. At one point, when we were both adults, he was in a horrific accident. He called me from the hospital in tears, apologizing for every single thing he ever did to me, real or imagined! We’re super-close now. He always calls me on my birthday & whenever we get together (which is rare, as I live in NH & he lives in Alaska) we’re firmly attached.

For all the clueless out there, welcome to the world of children.

“Oh, and I want a whistle for Christmas…”

The word “tell” was very powerful when delivered by a sibling. “I’m going to tell.” Decisions had to be made.

Maybe she’s found her career path! :D

Now where have I seen adults doing that???

Wanda breaking a 4th wall barrier is like overhearing the narrator telling about the ongoing story. This is nice! … :)

A career in journalism on the horizon?

it is patteling time

In the world of the comics, always read your footnotes.

Holy Dick Tracy, Batman!

Well, that is one way to look at it.

MOM power!

Haha! XD

The fourth wall is there for a reason, you two!
