Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for September 08, 2024

   Oh. My. God! You’re happy? And there’s a hole in your schedule?? I’ll fill that right up with things that you don’t want to do..

Oh Darryl… never tell Wanda you’re free or be happy. Wives have a way of cutting short your joy. lol.

Major buzz kill for Darryl…..

As soon as she said nothing I was thinking, “Danger! Danger! Honey-do list incoming.”

You could wait until the kids have moved out before painting the hallway. You don’t spend enough time in the hallway to care what it looks like.

While nature doesn’t really abhor a vacuum, most minds do.

took care of that pesky bubble

You blew Darrell.

Paint the hallway? I am sure Hammie will want to help! And Wren fingerpaint, and Zoe giving running details to Wanda!

Wait until all three kids are at games and/or practices. (not recitals…both parents have to be THERE for applauding). Two hours for a hallway…easy-peasy!

First time in baby blues history

Loos like Wanda is obliging.

Let me know when you finish the hallway babe, I’ll be getting my nails done.

Get after it,Wanda…

HA! A quiet Sunday won’t last! Cue Sibling World War… Eh, I’ve lost count in 3… 2… 1…

The ‘Honey Do List’ is always at the ready for unscheduled time.

And there is no joy in Mudville.

Maybe you two could work on squeezing that nose of his down to a reasonable size. It seems very much out of place in this comic. It’s time for action!

She apparently saw the potential for Darryl to actually enjoy an entire weekend, and absolutely had to head that off beforehand. Can’t have that.

“Buzz kill Wanda”.

“But, but, but…”

A free weekend and Wanda’s fix it jar, where b@ners go to die.

I would rather do all those other things than paint! Actually I would rather do anything than paint.

Wanda just had to ruin it.

What happened to zero obligations?

this is why I work with my wife on what needs to be done. If there is an open on the weekend, its mine unless its an emergency, by my definition.

It’s the first Sunday of football. No painting today.

Dad is stuck-not the first time.

So much for College Game Day…

So does dad get to watch sports? Mom you are a bubble buster.

I’m getting my place swept for cameras, they seem to have captured both myself and my wife perfectly here.

oh well… there’s always Monday to look forward to!

Moms never take a day off.

Oh Wanda, that’s harsh, even for you!

You should have told him that yesterday so he could take advantage of both days.

How disappointing of Kirkman and Scott to use this tired and misogynist cliche – the wife as inevitable spoiler of hubby’s fun.

Zero obligations, maybe. Zero desires, not.

“Yeah, go ahead!”

They’ll spend the weekend picking $100 of apples they could get at the grocery store for $5. While missing football.
