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

Change the subject.

Senior citizen discount check?

He should have stopped while he was ahead.

However old they are, I’m older. And I still have to show my ID at the State Liquor Store.

Rude.

“…for someone so wise.”

Legal.

Open mouth, insert foot!

“For someone who’s, you know…put up with me all these years, made such a great family, takes such good care of us all.” Might work. Let me know.

A mother of three.

If he misspeaks, he’ll look funny with her toothbrush stuck up his nose.

I got carded when I was 28 (10 years over the age limit) but a year later I bought my first business and my looks rapidly caught up with my age.

Just say it. We all know your wife is practically a mummy!

Most stores now ask for ID regardless of appearance.

You were doing so well!

Wanda WAS gonna reward him,but now…

Time to end this conversation quickly and with minimal damage.

Suggestion: .. has put up with me for all these years and raised three kids.

While we’re talking, do I need to lose weight?

… for someone who’s … uh … whose fiends don’t look quite so youthful.

over the hill…s and through the woods to grandmother’s house we go. Don’t you love that song, honey?

so you can order online, send an eighteen year old uber driver to pick it up. hmmm loop hole

… who has had to put up with me for all these years.

Yeah, she’s got a toothbrush. And she knows how to use it!

Does Wanda belong to a wine club with a reading problem?

Is it an insult for Darryl to say ""For a woman o your age, you’re quite youthful looking"? Or does Wanda need the full-on denial of “You look like you’re 25, dear!”

“over 21.” There! I finished Darryl’s sentence.

Darryl, the correct way to end your statement is:“For someone who is married to me.”

He looks like he’s brushing his nostril in the last panel.

Not so young anymore.

Ah yes, they wily ways employed by the retail world, find em, flatter em, and fleece em.

I remember one night, I think I was 25. I’d gone out with a large group of acquaintances, maybe eight or ten of us. We were sitting at a long high top in a bar. The server started at one end of the table and worked her way around. Everyone ordered alcohol and she checked IDs for each member of the group. When she got to me I already had my license out, but she didn’t ask to see it. She did card everyone after me, though.

I knew full well that I looked older than 25—already had quite a bit of gray in fact—and I was at the point where I generally considered getting carded to be a nuisance. But I did think that, if she was going to card the rest of a large group, she really should have carded everyone

…and it was going so well!

“…. somehow old enough to drink.”

For some who’s married to Darryl

Almost 30 years ago I dated a guy who thought it was hilarious that I was I.D.‘d and he wasn’t

Darryl, quit while you’re behind.

I was wondering what state(s) do that but see that it’s Californication and now also PA. Oh how nice to live in a free state!

One store chain told their employees they have to check the I.D.s of those who look 35 years old or younger.

She’s holding that toothbrush in a very threatening manner so choose your next words carefully as they may be your last…..

Should’ve quit while he was ahead!

So this is why she was happy? Not for the good wine?

“…had three babies.”

did you get the senior discount

Haha! (＾▽＾)
