Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for October 07, 2023

Weaponized noise

We all knew this is the main reason for wanting a trombone, to annoy Hammie with it.

Careful Zoe, you don’t want to dent your instrument. Of course, if you could arrange his head to trip the spit valve…

He doesn’t have to stay in the same room she’s in. If necessary, he could lock himself into the bathroom.

Is her arm long enough to play a trombone?

Seriously Wanda?!?

♫ Friends we’ve got trombone. Right here in River City…♫

Zoe is what we used to call a “snot” today!

Weaponizing a trombone. Ginger hair. The clues are all there: This girl is a shoe in for politics.

We are all under attack! Someone needs to do something! Anybody? huh

Toss her some records with Bob Brookmeyer on them to practice with. That might make her ’bone attacks more tolerable.

AT LAST, “The Revenge of the Sis”! ;) See what I did there?

I’d make her practice in her room…or the back yard!

This was Zoe’s intent all the time for picking the Trombone.

My dad made my brother practice his trumpet in the garage. Only we didn’t HAVE a garage.

Looks like time for a Drum Solo.

“Mom! I want to play the Bells. They give you a really big hammer for that, right?”

IRRC trombones have a tip on the end of the sliding part for when you put it down called a bumper. I can see that hurting if someone were to slam it against the back of your head.

Awww let Hammie try it out…now give the trombone to Hammie and switch places with him Zoe. Time for a taste of your own medicine Zoe! (⁠☞⁠^⁠o⁠^⁠)⁠ ⁠☞

And once again the parents ignore how bratty Zoe is.

Of course she can’t practice alone. How is she supposed to annoy everyone that way? She only joined orchestra to begin with because it was the most annoying option.

Wait until they discover the spit valve!

Funny

Why do so many different cartoons feature nasty little girls???

Good point Wanda.

That could have given him a concussion, nasty little b i t c…

My younger son when a baby had a screech I believe we could have weaponized had it not destroyed all the recording devices (not really, not quite). It would have worked for defense or offence. A trombone would work too, I guess.

(I read where some stores were using fog machines to stop robberies. It should work to stop other crimes such as mass shootings.)

Zoe is past the normal level of pranks between siblings. She’s a bully.

when you get hit is it a b0ner?

Haha! (＾▽＾)
