Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for December 19, 2023

All that trading and end up with no lunch. Hammie did you learn your lesson. No of course not.

It’s a good thing the bell rang when it did- Hammie was not getting the better deal there.

Does anyone actually pack Twinkies in their kid’s lunch? I thought Wanda’s p.b. & honey sandwich yesterday was bad…

Looks like he missed the trade deadline.

Will Hammie grow up to be a rich trader or a sucker for gimmicks like crypto?

I sense a long afternoon ahead.

Too much time spent dickering. Hey just like congress – nothing accomplished except in their case due to too much bickering.

Make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

Negotiations and trading can be such a bear…

So much for that “Art of the Deal” B.S.

One time I had three bites.

Poor Hammie.

the realities of international negotiation, it takes forever and nothing gets done.

Hard negotiating takes time.

My mom went to grade school in a rural area in the 1930s. The country kids were bussed into a nearby town for school. Lunch trading was a big deal then, too. The “city kids” would often have sandwiches made on store-bought bread, while the country kids always had homemade bread on their sandwiches.

Human nature being what it always has been, the country kids always wanted the store-bought bread and the city kids always wanted the homemade. They couldn’t believe each other was trading such a yummy prize. But the trades happened all the time.

Next time eat your lunch instead of negotiating a different lunch.

Lunch was secondary at school. Yeah, we ate but it was the long recess of each day…..

Commodities Trading is a cutthroat business.

Haha! (＾▽＾)
