Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for December 04, 2022

Not a good idea. The hospital bills when he falls off of there, plus the traffic ticket when they get pulled over for unsafe driving… That’ll be even worse.

I don’t know what is scarier. That someone suggested it or that Darryl agreed to it.

Uh, the front passenger seat is empty.

First LOL of early Sunday morning. And look at his nose!

He should sneeze on the windshield.

Is this their new vehicle? A purple van?

We have a 5-foot artificial tree.

Cute, but….. the front passenger seat is empty! Like, the tree is completely in the back of the vehicle, not at all intruding on the passenger seat. Hanging over the kids, sure, but there’s no reason for Dumb Dad to be riding outside of the eggplant!

I wonder how hard Hammie lobbied to be on the roof before getting shut down

That is just plain crazy!

I just throw the trees in the back of my pickup, will be getting ours soon!

Always wanted to try that. Maybe not in the rain, tho.

A) Everything goes up in price every year. Big surprise.

2) If his seat is empty and the tree fits inside the vehicle, what purpose does his being on the roof serve?

Too funny

There is a seat still open in the van????????

Any red light now, the hibernating squirrel will wake up.

Wanda could have at least put Darryl on the roof, feet pointing forward so teh rain wasn’t hitting him in the face. Besides, the tree has been thrashed around in the wind and the rain since it was a seeding and it is in a plastic net to hold the branches in-shape. Cut end forward and no problem.

I suppose, if Darryl had sat in the front passenger seat that appears to be empty even with the tree inside, there would be no humour today :D

Good Comic. Not just amusing but I actually laffed.

ha ha ha! I thought of doing that to make room in the car at times but never tried before. :D

Pretty sure that’s not legal ;)

Why did he not ride in the front passenger seat?

Wanda, jump on I95 and gun it, you’ll get home faster.

In real life, they would not have gone there on a stormy day. Today is only December 4th.

Wren: Where Daddy?

Remembrances of Mitt Romney.

Very very bad choice…..

At least he is tied down, unlike some youth that hang out of windows doing burnout during a takeover.

Darryl, buddy, this is why most people went plastic. That tree is reusable for years.

Rain? Where did the rain come from?

Omg !!! Really Wanda???Nowonder your your kids are disrespectful brats!!!!

And him being the bread winner!!!

I mean, I get it for the joke….but what’s in the passenger seat that’s keeping Darryl from riding inside the van? The kids are all in the back seat, and the tree isn’t taking up the space…..

Why not just get a synthetic tree so they don’t have to buy a new one every year? Granted, then they have to make space to store it.

And he couldn’t ride shotgun (that seat is empty) because????

I thought they might strap Hammie up there & like it so much that would be his permantent spot.

I don’t think so.

Okay, you can clearly see that the passenger seat is open. . . .

As Ralph Kramden (Jackie Gleason) bellowed on at least one occasion, “I HAVE A BIG MOUTH!!!”

At least the MacPhersons got their tree earlier than previous years, when they waited until 5-to-10 days before!

Wise choice.

Hey ! He swore that come what may, he was going to stay ON the wagon.

So, they can afford to lose Darryl?

Um. Artificial tree. Lasts for years.

Why is Dad strapped to the top when the front passenger side is vacant? This spoiled an otherwise amusing gag.

Don’t they know Christmas trees grow outside in the wind and the rain?

How many people, on seeing someone on the roof of a moving vehicle would call police?

There’s an open seat. Why is he on top?

Technically, there’s still room in the van for him.

Why isn’t he riding in the EMPTY front passenger seat?

Half the people driving by think Wanda shot Darryl out of season

That’s not safe

The interesting part is that there’s plenty of room in the van for Darryl.

Haha! XD This is why I prefer artificial trees! You only have to pay for it once, & you don’t have to water it!

They didn’t even need to do that, there is plenty of room up front
