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

perverse psychlogy

Their house is big enough to have a rowing machine.

Prediction: By end of week Darryl will be hiding the Uke.y

Why hasn’t Wanda been using the rowing machine herself all along?

Do you think it would work with the lawn mower?

Hammie will probably lose interest in it again!

Well, don’t tell him! If you tell him, the mind game won’t work as well (if at all).

Will you still think that as he makes noise randomly on the Uke?

Yeah. Get on the rowing machine, mom. That’ll work.

Hammie really LOVES his ukulele! :D

The evil plan was to have Hammie want the ukuele back to torture Zoe with his playing and singing?

Tomorrow, they find a clarinet in the back of the closet….

Love the second panel.

Wanda, you moronic twit, never tell your plan out loud to you intended victim.

We have a rowing machine. I use most weekdays. Am up to 20 minutes.

And now a Pete Townsend impression

Rowing machine? …… piffle! …… I bought a $1000+ SoloFlex machine back in the 80’s …..… now THAT was an expensive “coat rack” …………. I ended up selling it for …….. well, I won’t go there …….. sigh

What a bizarre smile Darryl’s giving here.

Tomorrow we may see poor Ukulele sitting forlorn in a corner.

It is at least worth a try.

I want to say they’ll be sorry but maybe in their cartoon world they won’t mind the noise

So how about all the rest of the stuff in the closet?

You walked into that one Darryl.

Don’t tell him, Wanda!!!

Why would getting Hammy to practice the ukulele every day be considered a good thing?
