Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for July 13, 2024

Does the family have an old microwave that Hammie can use for his experiments? This assumes that he won’t put metal and gasoline in the microwave.

aww⠄⠄⠄

Hammie coulda been the next Edison, DaVinci or Einstein

The look on Hammie 2nd frame, priceless.

Yes, YouTube has a video…

Wow!! A grounded breaking discovery!

Every scientist has their bad days, Hammie!

He was actually grounded for attempting the experiment. It would have been more fun to see Wanda’s reaction if he’d actually gone through with it.

Well, that’s not fair! Hammie didn’t even do anything yet!

That wasn’t even 5 seconds.

Was it the “five minutes” part or just the putting the tomato in the microwave without being in a container the issue?

Mom is on the ball there for a change.

Daughter learned how to melt crayons together in a microwave at school so they would have multi-color crayons. What the teacher didn’t tell them was the specific power setting and time. She knew how to use the thing as she cooked her scrambled eggs in it every morning. She figured it was the same as cooking eggs. Glad she had been taught what to do if there was a fire and luckily the fire department was close-by. Only the microwave was ruined and some smoke damage in the kitchen.

My ex called me at work to ask how long to cook a baked potato. I told her an hour, assuming she was putting it in the oven. Nope, microwave. Big mess, glass rotating thingy in microwave shattered, microwave ruined. Of course it was my fault.

Who knew Wanda hated science.

Years ago, I had place a hot dog in the microwave, for what I thought was 1 minute. I got distracted and walked away. 9 minutes and 40 seconds later the microwave is still whirling. I had set the timer for 10 minutes. Worst case of radiation sickness hot dog I have ever seen come out of a microwave…..

Learned what happens to blueberries after putting them in the air fryer for 5 minutes this week – it makes a great topping for waffles and english muffins. I recommend a liner though as they start to liquefy

Should have let him microwave then get him to clean-up

Apparently Hammie came across the You Tube channedl Microwave this

Just in time, mama.

That’s what the internet and especially YouTube is for. Someone’s already done it — rather disappointing results, actually. Maybe the old microwave they used was very low-powered.

Marshmallows in the microwave are fun too!

Just in time Wanda.

Hammie? I was expecting a hamster for lunch.

Let him do it and then hand him the washcloth and scrubby and stand and watch him make it sparkle.

I guess that tomatoes, as objects of scientific study, are basically off limits.

That’s kinda harsh from Wanda.

Expected results.

try an egg next time.

This strip is in Spanish! Which I can read without difficulty. :)
