Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for April 05, 2022

McFly, Earth to McFly

The clueless Samaritan

So how loud does play his tunes? Loud enough to drown out his kids.

It’s the ear buds!

Better hope he does have a phone instead of a Discman.

That could be a obstacles for his walking program.

Joggers and their silly entertainment.

Unfortunately, I can imagine myself doing that.

the roof the roof the roof is on fire

Daryl you are right on thoughts and clueless.

Selective hearing strikes again.

Even at highway speed volume in my motorcycle helmet head set, I can hear surrounding and approaching traffic and sirens just fine.

I rarely use earbuds while walking… My hearing is about as important as my sight to watch out for cars and other possible hazards.

I wondered if the big honker would ever come in useful.

Annnnnd, here we go!

comics should be funny, this isnt

And that fellow readers is just another example of the dangers of being distracted.

And a hero rises to the occasion!!

Oop, things just got really interesting all of sudden—

Darryl’s not distracted- he smells the smoke, but he’s rendered himself deaf to environmental cues.

Idiot.

There’s not much you as a private citizen can really do in that situation, other than call the FD. Once the structure is that involved it’s extremely dangerous to enter it without the right equipment and training. If lives are at stake and you feel so inclined you might risk it, but otherwise don’t needlessly put your own life at stake trying to be a hero just to save her paintings or something.

Uh, oh! Darryl should call the fire department and tend to that old lady.

It’s just the northern lights

Haha! XD
