Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for November 18, 2023

Any class before lunch is the worst because you’re bored and hungry and you just want class to be over but the teacher is yammering on about coefficients and constants.

Homonyms are knot fare on a spelling test.

Sue the school board!

He should have asked the teacher to use it in a sentence.

Harsh.

A mom’s perception.

So they’re learning phonetics. That’s actually good.

Interesting eyeball.

Poor, starving Hammie; even hearing his name makes him hungry.

At least he didn’t write “Meateater”

If the test was oral questions, Hammie needs to use the Spelling Bee approach.

Hammie – What is the origin of the word.

Answer – The word ‘meteor’ is derived from the Latin meteorum, from the Greek meteoron, in its plural form meaning atmospheric phenomena or anything in the heavens.

Hammie – Would you please use it in a sentence

Answer – The meteor was visible in the night sky.

Spelling is not Hammie’s metier.

You think it’s unfair?!? Baloney!

If it was read aloud, you’re right, Hammie.

Both Jerry Scott comics today have someone taking out the trash.

Or “meatings” before lunch.

Baseball fan Charlie Brown once lost a spelling bee by spelling the word “maze” as “Mays”—as in Willie.

I hated biology before or after lunch especially if it was a lab day. I was fortunate to attend a school where there was a rotating class schedule so no class was at the same time every day. But still, the smell of formaldehyde or thoughts of the upcoming dissection was not the best to take with you to the cafeteria.

True, same as no shopping on mt stomach…

Similar situation with my son during a spelling bee. The word was profit, he spelled prophet. Too bad there’s no credit for spelling the more difficult word…

An insult to “all beef” hot dogs everywhere.

I would have let that one slide.

Hammie has a good point.

Haha! (＾▽＾)
