Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for February 06, 2024

And you’re going to!

I’m on Hammie’s side. Like me, he is not a vegetarian; he is a dessert-arian.

A disaster film called “Hammie didn’t get his just dessert”.

I’m glad I’m old enough to eat desert before the healthy stuff.

Okay, let’s have dessert first. By the way, for dessert tonight, we’re having broccoli with chicken and potatoes.

“There’s always room for Jello” as the commercial used to say!

Not helping, Darryl!

Dessert can be healthy.

I never have room for dessert. I have to eat it later, by itself. Or before.

Yeah, my younger brother and I knew the surest way to not get a dessert, if we were having any, was to ask for it before eating the main dish.

If Hammie keeps arguing, he’ll get his just desserts. Just not what he was looking for.

Wanda’s eyes: “Not helping, Darryl.”

Eat your dinner and don’t argue, Hammie.

Sorry kid, you’re screwed desert wise until you reach the age of 18. Now shut up and eat, or force down to be more precise, your broccoli.

My son, 60 now, always hated veggies. Now he eats them first. To get them out of the way he says so he can get on to enjoying his meat.

Hammie drank the finger bowl, thinking it was dessert

Eat less of the healthy stuff and say you’re saving room for dessert.

“Quick! Serve the dessert! I think I am dying.”

Paulette Brillat-Savarin, 1826

Life is short, eat dessert first!

The second week of re-runs from 2020.

In Zits, Jerry Scott’s other strip, Jeremy wants his inheritance now.

I always order dessert first. If I wait till after my entree I won’t be hungry, so I plan ahead.

Sign in a coworker’s cubicle: “Life is uncertain, eat your desert first”. Words to live by!

Supposedly, declining dessert in a foreign country is a tip-off that you’re an American.

In real life: If the child wants to eat a sweet before supper, let them, and don’t make a big deal about it!

In half an hour they will eat what is for supper. Yes, it won’t to according to some made up schedule, but at least they won’t be wondering about the kitchen and looking to snack on something and not have a real breakfast, lunch or dinner.

This American preoccupations with food is absolutely ridiculous, considering that we are surrounded by it, and we have never, ever suffered a shortage of anything.

Is is any wonder that so many people are either grossly overweight or have eating disorders….

That’s me eating at the Cheese Cake Factory.

It is good to have a wise father.

Dessert will be broccoli salad with beets.

Don’t hurry to dessert, because then comes post dessert and bed.

I’ve heard coal miners eat dessert first when in the mine.

Dad your not helping.

Sarcasm is lost on Hammie, Darryl.

Do they have dessert every night. Wen I was growing up, dessert was generally reserved for special occasions and holiday dinners.

Tomorrows dessert; Chocolate brownies with pureed spinach hidden in the mix and goji berries. Better yet NO dessert for anyone for a week! Did I hear whining? I meant a MONTH. I know, everyone thank DAD

If I had the guts to do this when my kids were small things would have worked out better for everyone.

As if Hammie is ever going to fill up on “healthy” stuff.

That brought a smile, to me. It was the same excuse a buddy of mine, in the Air Force used, when he ate dessert, first… if he did, he always had room for it. :)
