Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for December 21, 2022

The set up

Zoe is baiting you Hammie. Don’t fall for it. As you said be strong.

Entrapment’s illegal, missy

I hate Zoe for this.

Don’t Messi with her, Hammie.

You’re that eager to have the old Hammie back aren’t you, Zoe?

SCORE!!!!!

Time out to go ask Mom about entrapment…again.

It’s a trap Hammie!

Something tells me that Hammie’s reform will not last much longer.

Hammie! Flee temptation!

Hammie has to remember not only his martial arts training, but also the fact that it is Christmas week. Must fight getting on the “Naughty” list.

Roll the ball to her Hammie then run.

She could benefit from jujitsu lessons as well.

Be strong Grasshopper. Take the target and make an Origami swan or dove for Zoe. She’ll blow a gasket; aggravation accomplished peacefully.

Wait until AFTER Christmas, kid. Hammie’s still got Santa watching him, not because his discipline is kicking in.

Don’t do it, Hammie! It’s an illegal entrapment! Do you have any ideas how many innocent people are spending years behind bars because of entrapment?

I really don’t like Zoe. Hammie’s antics I can deal with, Zoe is a whole other category.

You don’t have to hit the bullseye, Hammie, she’s already a pain in the a$$.

Zoe, can’t be happier if Hammie isn’t unhappy.

“Watch out! He’s gonna blow! Women and children first!”

Remember, Hammie, by not falling for it, you will frustrate Zoe incredibly.

That is just mean Zoe.

Making the effort.

I’ve never seen a person self-apply a “kick me” sign.

No it will be heart shaped

But I don’t know I’m only 12

Hard to avoid huh Hammie?

Haha! XD

Entrapment and provocation. Any judge worth their salt would dismiss this evidence.
