Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for May 17, 2024

Good thing there was a problem, Darryl.

Need a new inner-tube? No problem! Just yoink the one from the minivan.

Nice going, Hammie, you’ll get that bike back when you’re 30.

A new inner tube might be on order for a while.

And is the minivan’s name shark?

You had very high expectations, Hammie!

Guess who’s punished?

Jump the minivan over the bicycle?

So Hammie can build a ramp…but needs his DADDY to fix a bicycle tire? Uh-Huh…

Have to put off the spot on America’s Dumbest…..

I used to jump ramps with my Big Wheel.

Excuse me? What’s this about a ramp?

Wednesday, got a new chain and derailleur. Installed,less than $100.

Oh, well, that was true regardless of the state of the tire.

Hammie, now you have time to build a landing ramp on the other side. Get to it boy, fame, fortune and a cast or two are waiting.

Why parents go grey.

Just patch the tube Darryl.

Start small, Hammie, and work up to it. Those guys on TV did it that way.

How long does it take to go to the hardware store, get a new inner tube, and replace the old one? Oh yeah, were taking about Darryl here – Mr. Mechanically Inept.

I used to have this strange, recurring dream about a specific bike I had as a kid. In the dream, I had a slow leak in the front tire, and eventually it would be so low I couldn’t ride it anymore. And what was even stranger, that bike never had a tire leak!

Darryl, better check that kid’s TikTok account.

why hello, Evel. . .

Whatever happened to patching inner tubes?

Bicycle pump—-purchased in an antique store 40 miles away

Well just until you get the tire fixed.

Um…come to think of it, the bike can’t be repaired…and the stores are all sold out…and no one is making bikes anymore, so……

Darryl could patch the tire…

or a very timely flat tire…….

Don’t need a ramp if you try hard enough just run really fast trust me
