Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for March 23, 2024

Neither will get one, of course.

And you just know Wanda’s going to end up walking both of them.

Skip that! And skip the guppy too. Until you read the book “Henry Huggins” the first book. There is a chapter where Henry gets 2 guppies and they multiply and multiply and multiply…

We’ll keep ’em in the bathtub!

Mmm, shark for dinner.

Buy earmuffs Wanda.

I would think Hammie would want a Great White Shark!

I thought Zoe would insist on having a pony.

Then you’re going to want a sawfish.

Or a piranha.

Be sure to get them in different colors so they know who’s is who’s.

We’re getting piranhas. Feel free to jump in and swim with ’em!

You’ll have to talk to your dad about building a tank.

I’ll say this about Hammie: He thinks big!

Not practical, just big,

Can’t leave Zoe out. Won’t be able to withstand the cacophony of whining that will ensue. And it won’t end until she gets what SHE wants.

Will it have lasers on it?

Maybe she can rig it at the school carnival for them to win them?

Wanda, now would be a good time to start with a shark fish. There are 10 types of fresh water miniature shark fish that make excellent aquarium species. They also have life spans between 5-10 years, meaning fewer toilet burials if properly cared for.

Zoe can make one appear out of nowhere.

You nailed it Hammie! Hammer? Nail,? I am going now!

Nope dream on kids.

“…. And a moat to keep them in.”

Not getting one so don’t worry about it!

Bubble Eye Goldfish. Kids will love that one.

He’s going to STOP bugging her about a dog? Did I miss the strip where he started?

Two Hammer Head Sharks, what can go wrong.

I don’t think so!!

You can only imagine the size of the plastic castle in the bottom of the tank. The helmeted bubbling diver doesn’t stand a chance.

No! Hammerheads with their extended eyes take up too much room! Get something slimmer, like a Blue shark or a Silky shark.

Get a couple of gold fish

No Dog- how sad because today- Saturday- is National Puppy Day according to my Google search bar telling me so.

Excuse me good man; I need to acquire a fish license for my pet Hammer Head Eric!
