Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for August 09, 2023

If the MacPherison family is forced to be there with a bunch of undesirable people, then they’re going to do it with style! Knock ’em down, Darryl!

Darryl’s “cheat” doesn’t look like a race winner.

The thing about a three legged race is that to win you have to be out of step with your partner.

Is this race for fun, fortune, or fame?

It may be cheating, but l like it….

From today’s Comics Curmudgeon:

C’mon, Darryl, you don’t need Wren for a three-legged race; just tie a shoe on that nose.

Wren looks confused and worried in the second panel and annoyed in the third. :)

This one made me LOL…

: – ))

I was thinking of a philosopher who would argue that Darryl’s not cheating … it all depends how the HOA defines the three legged race, and I bet that at the next meeting of the HOA an new and stricter definition for a three legged race will be put to a vote…not that it would matter, since the head of the HOA has complete veto power over any disagreements with him or her…

I was playing mini golf with my sons, one of whom has a prosthetic leg. We saw a woman who also had a prosthetic leg. I said “Hey look! You guys could enter a three legged race. Of course you’d still be a leg short!”

Technically, Darryl, you should be disqualified since only two legs — yours — touch the ground.

She must be the HOA President.

Yep! Sue ’em! I bet you could get at least $100,000!

I did similar with my youngest daughter but only because her legs were shorter than the other competitors. Sue and her partner have the same stride. Even with Zoe or Hammie, Darryl would be at a disadvantage.

Wren!

Okay, but how will Darryl handle the tug of war event?

Yeah mind your business Sue!
