Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for June 02, 2024

Chilly? It’s June. Since when is it chilly in June?

Someone needs to take Hammie to the ear doctor, because what goes into his head and what comes out of his mouth don’t match.

She didn’t say no.

No she did not.

You know, I’ve examined this comic from every angle, and I still can’t imagine a time when my sister and I as kids, or my niblings when they were kids, would’ve actually asked if we could go into our own backyard and have a water fight – or, for that matter, if the responsible adults would’ve given more than a bemused shrug if asking had happened!

And I had to climb down a two story fire escape to get into my backyard. Yes, on overcast, drizzly, and windy days. If it turns out to be too chilly for a water balloon fight, the kids will come inside and towel off.

Think you misunderstood her meaning guys!

I like their smiling faces first panel!

I just noticed, they did put their bathing suits on!

You haven’t lived in Maine in June….yesterday morning there was a frost warning up in the foothills and mountains. By noon it was 78°F. It’s 6:15a here right now and it’s 45°F, so not exactly toasty.

My family could not have a gathering with more than 5 people without a water fight occurring. One Thanksgiving we had 23 people at our house. One couple was the ex Mrs cousin and his very standoffish and prim and proper wife. The water fight started somehow. Nearly everyone got involved except for the parents and grandparents. I noticed the cousins Mrs smiling. Just as a joke I acted like I was going to send a glass of water to her. She laughed went into the kitchen came back and dumped a pitcher of water over me. Game on. I sent two glasses of water onto her. She was laughing and joining in. First time I had ever seen the lady laugh or smile.It took us about one and a half hours using the carpet cleaner to vacuum up most of the water.

Hoo-boy… Cue Wanda sitting fetal position in the bathtub with the shower on full blast pulling out her hair while screaming “WHY?!” at the top of her lungs!

Pay attention to those feelings.

It is chilly here in June, with lots of rain and high winds, due to global warming, which, according to some people (no names mentioned) does not actually exist, even though scientific studies proves that it does. Now, that was a mouthful to say. lol

Biiigggg difference between practically and actually.

Will Wanda never learn? The devil is in the details.

If it’s not a good day to be outside in your bathing suits, it must mean it’s better (it’s a good day) to stay inside and have a water balloon fight.

Wanda should really introduce the word “No” to her kids.I work as an admin at a local community college and it sometimes happens that we are the first people who say No to some of these kids.No, you can’t take that class if you did not take or did not pass the prerequisite class with a C+ or better.

Mom, check on your kids…QUICKLY!

…Hammie is going to be a serious issue when he turns 14….

She should know her kids by now, so, it’s Wanda’s fault at this point for not closing all the loopholes.

In Scotland? All the freaking time. Why do you think Scots people are so pale?

Zoe is practicing being an actor in a Star Wars project.

Let the games not begin.

In my crystal ball I see three kids in a lot of trouble.

“Practically” is the operative word that’s creating the glitch in Hammie’s analysis of the situation.

Practically her suggestion but definitely your demise…..

You just have to read between the lines.

Wanda, Wanda, you must be specific; especially with a kid like Hammie!

Heh heh! as of the next day 53 replies! We DO LOVE to talk weather.

At least have it in the bathroom!!
