Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for November 14, 2024

It would burn a hole in her soul

A 2009 study of 3,000 women found that women averaged only 47 hours before spilling confidences and secrets

Oscar Wilde: “I can resist anything except temptation.”

Keesha reminds me of the singer with the same name, so in today’s strip the whole time I was thinking about Zoe and Kesha in a “secret club”

The shirt going over the nose LOL!!

Daryl shirt has a good collar, stretches way out and goes back to normal.

If you want the town to know something just tell Zoe.

It’s hard getting a pull-over on with that nose!!!

Telegraph,telephone, tell-A-Zoe!

Wanda spends a lot of her time sewing new elastic collars on Daryls’ shirts.

What rock has Hammie’s dad been under.

“Can I tell you a secret?” “No, then it won’t be a secret.”

A wise man (my father) once said, “I can keep a secret. It’s the people I tell that can’t”.

During a conversation, Person 1 says to the other, in a low voice, “Can you keep a secret?” Person 2, in anticipation: “Sure!” Person 1: “So can I”, and walks away.

And that’s the main reason why you keep getting into trouble, Hammie!

Hammie is actually smarter than Zoe. who knew? Ok, maybe not…

good for you Hammie!

They started a secret club purely to annoy him, and are kind of upset that it’s not working.

Today is “National Pickle Day”.

And I refuse to believe he has taken up jogging

Is Zoe included in the women’s group of forms of communication or a stand alone?

There are three most dependable forms of communication in this world still. Telephone, Telegraph and Tell Zoe.

Zoe wants her own she-shed now.

Zoe needs attention above all else.

Leonard: Did you hear about Howard and Bernadette?

Penny: Of course I heard about it, how did you hear about it?

Leonard: I heard it from Sheldon, he got it from Amy.

Penny: Da​mn it! I told Amy that in the strictest of confidence. Boy some people are such blabbermouths. Well whatever, I’m sure Bernadette can do better.

Leonard: Do you think a sexually ambivalent Indian astrophysicist with selective mutism and alcohol issues is better than a 100 pound Jewish guy who lives with his mom?

Penny: You are kidding! Raj likes Bernadette?

Leonard: I didn’t say Raj, who said Raj?

Penny: Okay give, how do you know? Did he tell you?

Leonard: No.

Penny: Well then, who?

Leonard: I can’t say.

Penny: Priya told you, oh, what a little gossip. Ya know, not an attractive quality in a woman Leonard. Not judging, just my opinion.

Leonard: Well the point is if this got out it would destroy Howard and Raj’s friendship.

Penny: You don’t have to worry, unlike Amy and Priya, I know how to keep a secret.

Leonard: You’re the one who told Amy in the first place.

Penny: In confidence!

Zoe’s…penchant… for tattling will do her in. Every. Time. Even Hammie knows that.

Darryl must have a high amount of Neanderthal genes in his genome.

Quite a shnoz you’ve got there, Darryl.

I’ve said it before and I’m saying it again: Hammie is the most aware character in this strip.

my question is: how does the neck on that shirt rebound after going over that schnoz?!?

humm, looks like Hammie is beginning to show interest

In pre-internet days, it was; telephone, telegraph, tell a girl. ;-)

Good point Hammie.

Leaky.

I would have imagined the sound effect “thwaaaannnngggg” as his nose finally cleared the collar.

GYATTT
