Red and Rover by Brian Basset for March 19, 2025

Do like Young Einstein and split one with a hammer and chisel……….

First time I’ve ever seen Red’s mouth open so wide!

How did a woman as well-educated as Red’s mom end up as a suburban housewife??

Lack of job openings?

Such a good mom, watching out for Red’s well-being and all.

Mom is quite well educated regarding Marie Curie!

It’s just play atoms, mom!

I think Ruby would be impressed by Carol’s remark. But as sarahbowl1 stated, they’re just play atoms (I hope).

Gigundous atoms!

Not Hammer Horror (as a Frankenstein movie would be) but Hammer Sci-fi (like Quatermass And The Pit).

Probably going to smash Atomic Fireballs…

Why doesn’t Red ride his bike to school or take the school bus like he used to?

Red’s mom is right. Be careful with the hammer, Red.

Panel 5 – Red has just had an epiphany – my mom is super-clever….

I bet that felt good to say

Actually, Ruby’s also going to try smushing them with a mortar and pestle.
