Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for March 07, 2024

I can see it now. A high dive with just sand beneath it.

There was one Sunday strip where mud was deep enough to be up to Hammie’s neck was covering pretty much the whole back yard.

I remember those days. There was a huge mud puddle we played in as kids.

& have them break their necks? Sure.

It’s been raining so many days where I live, I have two huge pools of water in my backyard.

Depends on Dad’s undergarments being filled with rain…

I love how appropriately dreary the first two panels look.

Ah c’mon, we have a roof. Right?

Not the Hamster’s usual ’It’s easier to ask forgiveness than permission’ approach.

having drainage issues in the back yard is a bad thing

Try getting a permit for that!

You had to know that would excite Hammie.

Surprised Hammie bothered to ask rather than just drag a step ladder out into the yard or cobble something together. Even one of Wanda’s good chairs would work.

Depends? On what?

They’re not going to cancel school??

A high dive into a puddle? OMG spinal injury and paralysis here I come.

Depends on what? I would think that’s always going to be a bad idea.

Oh be serious now, this is Hammie asking. He just wants a higher perch to pee from.

It’s usually raining with strong winds this time of year here but the weather has been sunny and cold.

There was supposed to be snow here yesterday and some people got tricked by the sunshine, left for

work in a rush without looking at the weather online. One such person, a lovely young woman I spoke to at the bus stop on my way home from a cleaning job, was wearing a sweater! No scarf, hat or gloves either. Poor darling.

I shook my finger at her and she laughed!

Do you wear adult diapers? Depends.

“….on who dives first.”

Don’t get their hopes up, Darryl.

Can’t fault a kid for wanting to play in a puddle. As kids, we always sought out the biggest, deepest one, added to it, drained it from playing so long and extremely, and dared to defy gravity and the acceptance of Mom’s guaranteed unimpressed-ness when we got home.

Where we live at we had at 3 a.m. little rain, we need more and another rain coming.Not enough as Hammie wants a high diving board. Our back yard will have a small pond then rain quits starts drying out.I be doing what dad does read a book, me I am reading ebook on tablet, next paperback.

Very good art in the first two panels

Build it! You might never get the chance again!
