Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for September 27, 2023

Who is this helpful person and what have you done with Zoe?

She’s now gonna get suspicious you two.

Everything is “totally normal” = Something’s going on.

Wipe it off? Don’t they know where the straight razor is?

Just another day with Hammie McPherson!

Pretend that you are a mad dog with rabies.

SKRKK!

Make Hammie keep it for a week or so, and this will most likely never happen again.

Dumb kid! This is why you keep getting into trouble!

I can relate, sorta. I was walking by a coworker painting the tail rotor guard of a Bell 47. Bright fluorescent orange Imron. He dropped the pressure pot just as I walked by. I got hit head to toe with the paint when the lid popped off as it hit the floor. Imron is a two part epoxy paint. I took off what I could with toluol. The rest I wore off over several weeks.

He’s rabid !!

And Wanda’s like “I would remember if Hammie had needed to start shaving…”

Hammie looks like he has on the Papa Smurf starter kit. Wait until he dyes his skin blue.

“Madame, how do you do?” “Eeeek! There’s a MAN in my bathtub!”

Zoe, what’s the problem? Don’t you think that your mother will believe that Hammie is old enough to shave?

Wouldn’t it be fun….to be Santa Claus’ son….

I hope Wanda doesn’t work herself into a lather.

But you can’t see the ink marks. It works.

If it was just a normal ball point pen the ink will come off pretty easily. It will look kind of smudged for awhile before you get completely clean, though.

Lotion actually works better than soap and water to remove ink, so does rubbing alcohol but I prefer lotion that won’t dry out the skin or cause irritation.

As a girl, I put a toy arrow on my forehead. The suction cup made a big red ‘hickey’ so I wore a headband to cover it to school. My Friends wanted to know why I was wearing a headband and eventually got me to take it off. I wasn’t as humiliated as I thought I’d be.

Hammie’s new normal.

In a way it normal for Hammie.

Long before bottled liquid handsoap became a thing, my mom would pack a couple of tubes of shaving cream when we went camping. It worked as well as a bar of soap, and it was much less messy to carry.

Haha! (＾▽＾)
