Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for January 06, 2025

you can have the envelope, Hammie⠄⠄⠄

you earned it!

Go back to Christmas?

That’s Hammie!

I guess they are your loyal subjects, Mr. King?!

You get to go on eating and living in that house. Dad earned the bonus check, and mom and dad decide how to spend it (mostly mom).

❝ Dᴀʀʀʏʟ ɪs ᴀ Fɪɴᴋ! ❞

Are bonus checks still a thing?

The dinky one gets most of it for a while.

Excuse me? YOUR cut?! BWAHAHAHA! You should do stand-ups at the downtown club!

My Christmas check was cut last year

Not ashamed to admit it, I like Hammie’s comment, and its evident that Zoe is on on it too.

If they are wise they will use that “bonus money” to decrease their debt instead of spending it. You can’t get ahead if you stay in the hole.

Your cut? Free room & board for another the next 12 years or so.

No reply back yet to the kids. Bills to pay.

You get to eat!

Darryl, “You guys got your cut and then some twelve days ago. Now scram so your mother can show me more appreciation!”

They have a funny dynamic.

(not so) easy come, easy go!

Sorry Hammie, your cut comes in way of clothes and groceries.

Your cut is the money is put aside for your future and anything that is spent on you or even the family as a unit.

Bonus check? ROFLMAO

Today is “National Cuddle Up Day”. For real.

$.05

I worked for the government – never got a Christmas or holiday bonus, not even a Christmas turkey. But they did do the yearly appraisals, and I often earned a cash award that way.

There is joy in the kingdom when the queen is happy.

The jelly of the month club? The gift that keeps on giving all year long.

Your cut? That’s cute, kids!

Smart kids!

Your cut is I will still provide you with food, shelter, clothing and anything else I deem necessary for your survival. That means not burning down the house if you want to live!

Your cut is you get to live, but no promises…
