Ah, the panicked kid rumors. I remember that. My sister freaked out and told me our dad was going to have heart surgery one time. What actually happened was our mother told him to, quote, “Lay off the bacon before you give yourself a heart attack.”
Hammie seems to be in the process of getting dressed. In the first panel he’s got one sock on and appears to be in the midst of pulling on the other. He’s not wearing pants. In the second panel, zoom in on Zoe. In the third panel, he’s holding up his pants as if preparing to put them on, but his socks are off.
Did he take off the socks during the second panel? If so, why was he putting them on in the first? Did he suddenly realize they’re the wrong socks or something?
Or maybe he was actually taking them off in the first panel, in which case he’s getting undressed. But if he’s getting undressed, why is he holding up pants he wasn’t wearing before as if he’s about to put them on?

The courts would decide who gets you and how much visitation time the other one gets.

Grab the baby and run. RUN. Nah, you’ll understand later. Still traumatized, but you’ll understand, and you can get back to not getting along.

I’m sorry, I just can’t bring myself to find humor in thoughts about a tragedy that happens all too often these days.

Alas, when this blows up in Zoe’s face, she will still come out smelling like a rose and no wiser for getting the facts before spreading rumors.

Come on kids you’re not looking at the upside. Two Christmases, two birthday parties, presents galore. Dream a little.

I hope Wanda doesn’t hear that. She doesn’t seem like she’ll budge on buying better junk foods.

I’ve said it before and I will say it again, Hammie the most aware character in this strip. He acknowledges that Wanda & Darryl are excellent parents.

My two sisters and I had to make this choice, although we were all older than these siblings. My sisters both chose mom. Because of that, I chose dad.

Not going to matter since all they need to decide is which parent goes with which kid to watch them play their game.
