Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for July 15, 2022

Got a better idea, Zoe, of how to get rid of the gopher?

Caddyshack anyone?

let the brat scream. drown the gopher ! ( apologies to the 2 that answered my first comment. I don’t like to leave misspellings )

Wanda’s far smarter than we are. Now where’s that mud I was just about to sling?

The next time Hammie needs to pee outside, let him down gopher hole!

I am with Zoe. Just trap them and release them in the wild. No need to murder them.

Another word for lobbyist? None seem to pass the gocomics censors. Ah well.

Tell Zoe you just wanted to give them a bath!

Hammie can sit on and gas them..

The steamed gopher, suggested yesterday, still seems like the best idea to me.

The Carl Spackler approach.

Seriously, why do people hate gophers so much? They seem nice.

the gopher lobby is indeed very influential… ☺

oh i’d keep him and start feeding him…new pet….“i will name him George and i will hug him and squeeze him and….”

Gopher Bomb. It looks like a stick of dynamite. It’s cool, and it works.

Absurdity abounds these days. Disconnect and do your duty.

I see a live trap in Darryls future.

Zoe – you’re ruining a great visual gag! Dad sticks the hose down the hole, turns on the water and the whole yard erupts with water spouts coming out of other holes! (Then Hammie says, “Cool!” over the potential mud bath…)

Take the poor litt’le girl inside and do what you have to do.

My relatives up in Alberta would shoot them!

Im with you!

Try smoke grenades.

…. as well as the pro baby bird lobby …. seriously, you can wait a till fall when the birds are done nesting to cut down a tree!

Smart move Wanda.

I’m alright!

Don’t nobody worry ’bout me!

You got to gimme a fight!

Why don’t you just let me be?

Just wait until after bedtime, then go out and soak the yard.

It doesn’t work. The gopher just moves out of range and digs new holes. Instead, pour cinnamon down all the openings, which they won’t want to smell nor step on, and eventually they’ll back out of your yard into your neighbors. I’m sure mine were grateful. It worked.

Dad you should do that when Zoe is not around.

…Or make her dig out the mound and fill in the tunnel by hand. 10 minutes later she’ll be fetching the hose.

Drowning gophers is inhumane.

Three of our cats caught all the gophers when we moved in a few years ago. they would stick a foreleg down the hole, wiggle a paw, and pull one up like they had caught a fish. They were so proud of their work. And we paid them with extra salmon at dinner. Such good girls.

What is the best way to clear out gophers?

Haha! XD

Why is Darryl’s head squashed?

why would he say that in front of her though
