Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for November 13, 2022

There’s an odd idiom that is going to confuse a lot of readers

Tweet. Five yard penalty for delay of game. Try again Zoe.

Wren in the last panel hahahaha

so much for a family game of football

Is Swiss Coffee different from Panama Coffee? Do they have their own special coffee?

Looks like Zoe has a bicycle helmet on!

Hike it. With any luck you’ll catch her with her mouth open.

Zoe better “swatch” out…a pigskin in the puss will create hues of vermillion.

Delay of game, 5 yard penalty, Obnoxious color choices, 15 penalty add on to the end of the play. This is Zoe’s first obnoxious penalty of the game.

Is there a paint color called “Omaha”? ☺

This one gets a fail from me,

because the strip is sold worldwide,

and many people don’t have any idea about American football’s oddities,

and seeing the questions here even from some Americans

it just proves my point

that even the Americans didn’t get this esoteric reference.

Division Finals today. Go Boatmen, go Leos.

Do not worry Zoe I’m not into football either.

I agree with Hammie. Just hike the ball.

It definitely slows the game.

Funny!!

Objectively, this one was not particularly funny. Nonetheless, for some reason, I laughed out loud at it. Which is all that matters.

Swiss Coffee is exactly the name of one of the paint chips we had to choose from. Benjamin Moore Co.

I loved paint cards as a kid, collected them anytime my dad dragged me to the hardware store ended up with over a hundred in the end. A few favorites “Mink Frost”, “Dante’s Cardigan”, and “Pink Panther”.

Flag on the play! Zoe took too long to say “HIKE!”

When playing a sport, Zoe tends to lose her focus.
