Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for December 05, 2023

Thought so. Ride Hammie, ride!

I’m not a big fan …

Times when you miss being at a desk… (or on top of mount Kilimanjaro)

Get him down Darryl.

Just hangin’ around, Dad!

Kevin did this in the 7-31-21 “Crabgrass” comic. Wonder how this turned out for both of them.

Yeah, right, Hammie.

When I was a kid, I would get ideas about things to do, and my younger brother… well, we were good kids, so he was the one who went to ask permission!

Or at least maybe hooking his feet on the fan blade to hold on better/longer.

Must be some good high quality solid wood fan blades.

Hammie, Hammie, Hammie of the jungle

Strong as he can be

Ahhh

Watch out for that fan

Hammie, Hammie, Hammie of the jungle

Lives a life that’s free

Ahhh

Watch out for that fan

When he gets in scrapes

When he makes his escapes

With the help of his friend

An ape named Wren

Then away he’ll schlep

On his elephant Shep

While Zoeand Ursula

Stay in step with

Hammie, Hammie, Hammie of the jungle

Friend to you and me

Ahhh

Watch out for that an

Watch out for that (Ahhh) (Oooh) fan

Hammie, Hammie, Hammie of the Jungle

Friend to you and me

.

Once again, for those who have become their parents and have not learned to use an internet search engine, this is a parody of the George of the Jungle theme song. And remember, we don’t need 47 pictures of last nights dinner and no you can’t slide into someone’s DM.

He’s always behaved like a monkey…he’s just making it official

and wouldn’t you know it, he had the gull to follow through with it. :J

Hammie’s remark reminds of that line in the song “I Wish I Was Back in the Army” from “White Christmas”:

“A soldier out of luck

Was really never stuck

There’s always someone higher up where you can pass the buck…"

Of course, Zoe thinks that works in the other direction, too.

It’s amazing the fan is strong enough to hold him.

I was gonna say that, as the little brother, he needs to wise up to Zoe’s ideas. But to Hammie, riding the fan is brilliant!

That’s one strong well mounted ceiling fan.

Hammie’s trying to improve his circulation.

That is one…sturdy…fan!!

at 6’ 4" I’ve been in a few houses where the fans were low enough that I’d hit the blades if I stretched.

Darryl, by now nothing should surprise you.

It is rough when you are led by a person who doesn’t consider the consequences of his or her actions. I’m glad we adults never fall in such silliness.

Right now Darryl is thinking “Gee, I wish my job required extensive travel!”

Hammie’s practicing to be part of the Wallenda Family…

ZOE!

Haha! (＾▽＾)
