Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for February 16, 2025

Hammie is playing a dangerous game.

Hammie’s a brat!!

I rub the turkey’s skin with olive oil immediately before putting it in the oven, but that makes for a really dull gag.

It’s not the answer that’s important, it’s the question.

This’ll backfire on you Hammie, and if I were your mom you’d be spending the afternoon in your room without any kind of entertainment.

the Hammster speaks the truth…

㋛

Hammie, you’re a stinker!

Is that a ball that Zoe is tapping with?

You’re gonna be eating that soccer ball, Ham…

But, Mom! If you were just listen to… Not another word, young lady! Now march your butt into the corner! When your father gets home, we WILL have a long talk about your disrespectful attitude! But, Mom! Hammie said… You’re pushing it! Keep it up and you won’t be allowed to do anything fun for a long, long time!

Kids haven’t learned the F word, yet.

One night, when my husband & I were dating, I was having dinner with him & his father. We were discussing what we were going to get people for Christmas. My husband’s younger sister was a big fan of ET at the time, and there was a toy, “ET’s Finger”, where you put it on your finger, touch something, & it lit up. My husband said, “I’m thinking of giving V. the finger.” His dad smiled & said, “I’m sure you already have…many times.”

Just once I’d like to get the top comment :(

Siblings…

Well played, Hammie. Now brace for the blowback.

Hammie should be a DJT Press Secretary as he can give Karoline Leavitt a run for her money with that little spin.

Hammie is so in trouble when they find out what was really said.

He wasn’t lying about what she said but tricking her was a no no. LOL

Now that is a real prank…….

In the strip for June 1, 2015, it was Zoe who was playing the entrapment game. So now Hammie is doing it.

Usually it’s Zoe doing this to Hammie

Fight!

LOL!!! I LUV it! Good one Hammie!

Whenever someone imparts information, context is important. Too often, the media does this, reporting on a particular event or comment while omitting important context. What Hammie reported is accurate, but he left out crucial context.

Hopefully, Zoe will be given a chance to add that context to clarify the matter.

That’s Zoe’s stick, what goes around comes around Zoe lol

Oh Hammie.

to be fair, he’s not lying….

Before you make a final judgment, you should at least hear the other side (the rest) of the story.

Truth is truth.

Later that day, Hammie was found with his head lodged into the chest cavity of a turkey.

Now THAT’s how you tattle on a tattle tale.

Kid will be a journalist

Letting children learn the nuances of folding cloths and stacking builds character.

Actually, you’re not supposed to put stuffing inside a raw turkey. Cross-contamination. In fact, I was born in 2001, and I don’t ever remember ONE Thanksgiving dinner where the stuffing was inside the Turkey. It was always cooked separately. Not that I eat it, though (I find the flavor unappealing), but my maternal uncle loves the stuff.

I did not expect Hammie to pull this off, well done.

I mean, he’s not lying. He’s just omitting certain truths.

that is genious
