Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for August 12, 2024

I know how Hammie feels. Being a grown up looked like a real drag to me, too.

Homeless bustler

Sure. BUM!

Darryl is certainly an optimist

You could ask an AI chatbot how to start a company and which products you should sell. Unfortunately, chatbots make mistakes.

One thing for certain, Hammie, when you grow up you will be older!

As a child I rode my bicycle to the county airport to watch small aircraft take off and land. Dream big.

carnie

Not necessarily. More people are staying single these days..

Starving artist.

I saw a video about how “unemployment” is defined in the US. It’s based on the depression where people (at the time men) were either employed or looking for work. A third category exists now; not looking for work. Something like four million people fall into this category.

prison?

Yes. But you have to think it up yourself. Don’t listen to others.

Not many other options that are valuable and would give you a sense of satisfaction.

Sorry, kid! You are destined to be a mindless office drone working for the man until you are old and gray!

You could inherit a whole bunch of money, do nothing, pay no taxes, pretend you earned it, and call working people “lazy.”

My BIL

Option ‘B’ because Hammie doesn’t want a son like him or a daughter like Zoe?

Yes, Hammie. And plan C, D, etc. But pick one and fight hard for it. Even if you end up swerving into something else, it’s better than wondering all your life what you want to be when you grow up.

Yes Hammie there is, it’s calls a politician.

Yeah, lazy good for nothing…

No, you’re going to have a son that’s JUST LIKE YOU.

Garbageman.

Could join the circus…..

Keep a journal of your childhood and then become the author of a comic strip.

Today is “national Middle Child Day”.Don’t tell Hammie

Denver Reader…. The economy was thriving under Trump. Everything was, but trying to bring light to a brainwashed individual such as yourself is more than pointless. I understand Denver has been quite the lovely city as late under Dem leadership as well. Please for the sake of our country, WAKE UP!

So let me get this straight. If I read, watch and listen to the “true” stuff, then I’ll be smart and vote for the correct candidate. And don’t forget that the other candidate is a liar, but not my candidate. Now I can vote with confidence knowing that I know what I know.

A number of other options. Might I suggest a hardworking taxpayer with a steady job but without the family? Going home to peace and quiet, fully controlling your leisure time, being able to pull up stakes as often as necessary: These things are not to be despised.

Warrior Monk by day and Heavy Metal Punk Zither musician on weekends.

I’m seeing more and more pop culture list profession choices as “hardworking taxpayer”. Like that is all we are worth and the only important trait of a worker: giving money to the Government.

Usually the kids wants to be like dad and marry mom at this age

Not all adults can find work. I have son works at a grocery store, the CEO wants more money, so hourly hours have been decreased, this has spread to other retailers.

Unfortunately Option B, a jobless freeloader living off government handouts is all to common these days.

Maybe Hammie doesn’t marry or have kids and works as a stunt man in Hollywood.

There is an option B, but I don’t recommend it.

Scary!!

In the words of Heathcliff Huxtable, “You have got to have an apartment because you are not going to live here.” And that takes money, and that usually means a job.

You’d make a wonderful Dread Pirate Roberts.

On the present course, life on this planet won’t exist when he’s an adult.
