Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for April 03, 2024

That doesn’t work for him

Show him the work of Jackson P. That might give him some ideas.

Good time to have a talk with him about always taking shortcuts, Daryl.

Well you could start writing your manifesto

Buy one off the net. (or Zoe)

There are no other options

Just get one “A” Hammie!

Draw a nice cartoon.

Refreshingly honest comment by Hammie at the end.

ChatGPT?

Sigh.

The best option is to give up wanting a school paper on the fridge. Problem solved!

In life there are many who chose not to do what is necessary for the rewards.

Get a bigger fridge?

You don’t have to have the goal to make it to the top, only to be satisfied with what you accomplished. I did and I’m happy.

The other options, no homework on the fridge door.

You could hack the School’s Grading System. No, wait, you gotta “git gud” for that, too… ☺

Unfortunately, that would require a brain transplant.

Reality check.

Hey, he still got “A” in recess….

Picky, picky, picky.

I hear students are using AI to write term papers.

Hammie could buy himself a red marker and turn a D – into an A+.

Other options? Grow up stupid and be ignorant.

I smiled – thank you Hammie.

What dad says is stupid. They should make room for both. Zoe gets to display her “work” one piece at a time, and Hammie gets to choose what he wants to display at the same time.

In real life: that kind of favoritism is what causes the kids to grow up thinking that a sister or a brother was “the favorite”…

“Write your name on one of hers.”

Yeah, like that’s going to happen.

Get your own refrigerator and put up anything you want.

Hammie is just one step away from getting a participation trophy.

(1) Develop near-genius knowledge and-or intuition in at least 2, preferably 3+, school subjectsand-or (2) work-study HARD several days a week.

Other options? Bribery.

Dad is right.
