Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for August 29, 2023

Yup that’s Hammie. Teacher get ready for a exciting and fun filled school year ahead.

Hamish here, sir!

Don’t think Hammie gonna have a crush on his teacher this year

She looks like a grown up Marcie.

She was warned about him ahead of time.

Why do i look at the last panel and am thinking of that scene from Back To School where Professor Turgidson stares at his student Thorton Meloni and goes, “I’ll be keeping an eye on you!” ;D

Ooohh, Teacher, you have no idea…

That guy, sounds like a TV show.

Seems Hammie has a reputation. I did, too. It is survivable (just.)

And he looks so innocent in the first panel!

Hammie sets the tone for the school year already!

I mean, he technically didn’t do anything wrong. I stand firmly by the belief of the importance of class clowns. XD

Yes, and you’re apparently THAT teacher.

He’s your worst nightmare! What’s even worse? NO HAZARD PAY!!

Ooo, Hammie’s reputation precedes him. Maybe what he needs is a male teacher that can teach him to control some of that young boy exuberance.

Yep, that’s him.

Three minutes into the first day and his reputation is set in cement already.

Is the joke that unruly kids are inherently funny?

Possibly. I could be. Perhaps. Maybe.

please never do that again

“Whatever” is especially descriptive.

off to a good start, Hammie

Perhaps he should channel Jeremy Bentham and be recorded as “Present but not voting.”

Hehe, I always like it when Rick & Jerry remember Hammie’s full name! :)

With the right guidance Hammie could have a great future. Too bad he’s stuck with this one

It’s going to be a long year.

“My reputation precedes me? WHODATHUNKIT?”

Good show for Hamies first day at improv/acting class…

Yep. You have just been introduced to “that guy”. You are in for an exciting school year. Good luck.

Hamish? Wasn’t he almost married to Alice in Wonderland?

…barely started and already headed to the principal’s office!

Looks like he’s going to grow up to be another Jim Henson. (I’m thinking of the Finale from the Muppet Movie, “The Magic Store”)

Haha! (＾▽＾)
