Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for October 26, 2024

Needs batteries.

Is he Kylo Ren or Han Solo in the making?

Probably out of laser bullets. Check on aisle 4.

Whatever Darryl is working on, it looks like batteries there, so maybe he can rig something up!

Maybe dad can make it shoot Nerf balls.

Just use a lighter on one end. That should do it!!

Tape one of those little cat chaser lasers in there.

Take apart the office copier. That sucker won’t cut metal but can damage your skin or blind an eye.

I think my imagination is broke. Let me think of the best thing ever. Beef stew. Yep it’s broke all right.

Just buy him a Star Wars lightsaber!

So, that’s why Blackbeard was beheaded. His sword wouldn’t turn on.

This could have an interesting result, but since it’s Saturday we’ll never see what Darryl could cook up to remedy the situation.

I would say to install a laser pointer, BUT DON’T DO THAT! ANY laser can damage your eyes, and Hammy isn’t mature enough to realize the damage he could do. Someone could get blinded, and YOU COULD GET SUED!

Hammie, Hammie, Hammie, that’s not a pirate sword. That’s the paper tube from wrapping paper and two toilet roll tubes stuck on it. When I was a kid we would take furring strips to make our swords. Of courser our dad’s all hated us, because we would use the aluminum trash can lids as shields and we would bash the bejesus out of them. It was fortunate that the hardware store sold the lids and cans separately, because every fall there was a run on trash can lids.

Well, every little boy’s sword should be able to shoot lasers shouldn’t they?

Tape a mini flashlight to the end and he can turn it on and off. We ARE pretending here, right?

Good luck with that!

Gee.

Love seeing Hammie using his imagination, and not a store bought, shrink wrapped toy. Pew! Pew! See? Laser fixed.

I don’t think Pirate swords are supposed to shoot laser beams. Just sayin.

And it doesn’t make Lightsaber sounds

Prof Brian Cox and Neil deGrasse Tyson had a nerd fight about lightsabres – Neil said they will not work, it’s like dueling with flashlights but Brian said with enough energy they will – think gamma rays, and Kyber crystals which power lightsabres in Star Wars are the high energy source to make it happen.

Every boys dream!

Clonk him on the head with it.

No problem!

But Dads can do anything . . . can’t they?

That is important for a pirate sword.
