Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for January 14, 2025

It’s easier to ask for forgiveness than permission, Hammie

aww… Mom!!

you can’t execute a diving headbutt from the mat

Smash it? I use a box cutter and then fold it neatly. Hammie might be too young for a box cutter, but he sometimes uses other tools.

Wanda should have seen that coming!

Use it for sled riding!!

She should know him better than that.

He needs the extra height because he’s so light.

Next time, do it in the garage!

At least he didn’t take it outside and get up on the roof for the elevated position.

Aw, shucks, Wanda, he’s not that high. But it’s okay Hammie, any day you get permission to SMASH SOMETHING is a good day. The Hulk and I say so, anyway.

Wanda.

Every party has a pooper,

that’s why I invited you.

Party pooper, party pooper.

That’s the right way to do it. I can’t believe how many times I see huge boxes tossed in the dumpster taking up most of the room in there. Why are some people so clueless and selfish.

What, no bubble wrap to annoyingly pop?

No “styrofoam peanuts” to get rid of(assuming they don’t static electricity and refuse to go quietly)?

WTH did Wanda Buy? I’m afraid to say what it looks like. But, looks like something for Darrel.

Let him have his fun with this one

it’s not a box… it’s a Transmogrifier!

Thank goodness she stopped him – the box was sitting on that glass coffee table. I think he moved it, but not far since he is preparing to jump from the top edge of the sofa to smash the box- so still way too close to the coffee table!

Too many tiktok stunts seen by that kid.

Ora Zella on her way with her tiny Chair Saw.

Aw mom, that’s no fun.

I like the tongue on the Amazon box. I drew one on a package my neighbor got, wondered if they noticed it.

I fold in the flaps and let the cats play with the box for a while. They love boxes.

Shortly after the box is smashed, Wanda will need a box just that size.

Give it to the cat!

Trying to figure out what she is holding…

My brother had a pedal car and do demolition derby.

This is my husband (except jumping from a height.) He smashes boxes; I cut the tape and fold them neatly. My way is less fun, but more fits in the recycle bin that way.

How many Hollywood stuntmen started out like that Hammie?

My favorite is still bubble wrap:)
