Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for February 26, 2023

You two could help mom out by being on time.

Four milk walk to school in the snow, with holes in your boots?

That’s nothing, I had to sit in a car for fifteen minutes with Mom going on and on and on and on and on and on and onnnnnnn..

Another rerun. What is going on?

If I had enough money I’d buy the school and give myself a diploma.

Soon, moms will ask ChatGPT to create ranting lectures and driverless cars won’t be that much fun anymore.

An inconvenient truth.

In one ear and out the other! My mother used to ramble on and on like that but we learned to tune her out.

Maybe you should have listened to your mom!

better circle back around, Wanda…

there’s no school on Sundays

I remember those days, getting them ready to wait for the bus!

Beats walking quite a ways to the bus stop then waiting out in all the elements for it…

Think again Hammie, they will have a program in them to do that also.

Warning: Next they’ll be promoting momless mommies.

Driverless maybe, but motherless never.

\\//_

Makes the walk up hill both ways in the snow while barefoot on broken glass seem pleasant. If Mom only knew that all she had to drive us…..

Finally! The perfect ‘mother cartoon’. You’ve covered it all, Rick and Jerry.

I remember lecturing my daughter like that. 40+ years ago.

Nobody asked you, Hamish

Driverless cars may not have a mom, but they can still be a mother!!

Doing what you are supposed to be doing will take care of that.

If they’re late what’s that say about the kids coming in behind them

She’s really out of it. It’s Sunday honey…

Let she among you who is without sin, let her cast the first stone, Wanda.

Ok, that’s funny.

NOOO! Not reruns!

Can a 6 year old “drive” a driverless car?

Similar format to sister strip Zits. Only in Zits, Connie still fantasizes about when Jeremy was younger. Wanda isn’t enjoying the good times while they last.

hang in there, Zoe & Hammie

Dang, that was hard to read! I think I sprained my neck!!!

Dang, that was hard to read! I think I sprained my neck!!!

Haha! XD

Rerun.

Maybe they should consider building some prep time into their bedtime ritual — homework done and backpacks loaded, clothes for the next day chosen and laid out, all permission slips signed and in the backpack, etc.

For the morning, get each child an alarm clock with a horribly obnoxious alarm and set it up somewhere away from the bedside so they will be forced to get out of bed to turn it off.

There are other measures they could take such as no TV in the morning, but these would be a start.
