Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for January 03, 2024

Ooh snap. Wanda that was a good one.

Hand her back the book. Say, “I’m done.” Walk away.

He’s double-checking for themes that could be misconstrued as political satire.

Wanda, Ow!

Bad move Wanda

My reply would be, “Meet me upstairs baby…, I’ve got a word for you, and it’s really big.”

Hint: The word can be found by combining two smaller words in the following sentence.

The pen is mightier than the sword.

“It was a dark and stormy night, a Pirate ship appeared on the horizon” !

Darryl’s trying to be diplomatic….

Not called for. If it were bad, he’d be skimming right through it quickly.

Then you should be asking Zoe to read it instead of him. That was not a very nice thing to say, Wanda.

Get Zoe to read it then.

That would be the point at which I’d hand it to her and say, “Then let a 9-year-old read it.”

I sincerely hope she didn’t intend that to be as offensive as it came across. That’s not even a burn, just mean.

Sorry, this isn’t ‘Baby Blues’. It’s ‘Marriage Blues’. If you’re being polite, anyway.

Give him time to read it and even more time to think of something nice to say instead of giving him an excuse to blast you with his honest opinion.

Kind of like Trump’s speech writer when he was POTUS.

But, there are no pictures.

Not the way to get on the good side of the editor there Wanda.

Wanda’s pestering him is keeping him awake to finish reading the book.

and with that, you hand the laptop back over too her and walk away. when she asks why did you think, say I’s tu upid ta undatns.

Good zinger, Wanda.

OMG! It is a comic strip people, not real life!

That should help with the review…

Wanda’s throwing more shade than Darryl’s nose.

Savage

Insulting the critic/editor, not smart.

I can’t think of a response that won’t get me banned, so I’m not even going to try.

Wanda that is unworthy of you!

He walked right into that one. Roll eye.

The plot.What’s the plot?

“So why does it begin with ‘Call me Ishmael’?”

“You got the wrong book.”

Just saying, but she’s reading from a book, Darrel from a tablet, so how come their kids never grow up? I thought they were stuck in 1994!

If it’s for nine year olds, then why are there big words?

Never talk smack to the critics, Wanda…

Maybe that’s why I’m having trouble?

Yeah…the ones with two syllables…
