Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for July 24, 2024

tired shtick

One of our firm ground rules for our kids was “no shouting, unless it’s an emergency.” As parents we stuck to that rule too, and still do, now that the kids are out on their own. We see it as a matter of respect for the other person.

He only did wha you old him Wanda, and she is next door!

these are not real people

Hammie. Zoe. Wren. I just know there’s somebody out there with three dogs with those names.

And of course, going to where she was and telling her quietly would have been silly. That would have involved…..shudder….walking!

Which is why you should walk out of the house and go next-door to tell Zoe!

Once again not specific enough. Wanda missed including the word ‘go’ before “tell”.

The whole neighborhood heard that.

I like the different angle in the second panel

Does anyone else wish they would drop that gotcha thing?

You could fit a whole watermelon in that mouth!

It’s important to be specific with some people, “Go tell your sister..” in this case.

Well in that case.

He didn’t ASK, either.

Typical. . . .

You could have told me that first.

kids, just like computers and soon to be AI, followed the instructions exactly – nothing more or less
