Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for August 21, 2024

Too much pent up estrogen

If you really want to see a vicious version of Croquet, get into Gateball. Wow! That’s some cut-throat play.

INCOMING!!!!

:-O

Something tells me that Croquet set is not long for this world.

Did they accidentally buy Arnold Palmer’s Croquet set? They are lucky that the balls are going over the roof instead of hitting the roof, unless the balls are hitting something worse.

Wanda pictured that red ball as Zoe’s head, and WHACK!

This game is getting serious!

Did Wanda learn from Hammie’s opening shot yesterday? LOL.

This way Darryl can help Hammie look for his ball.

She seems to have lost one eye. What sacrificial dedication! You guys better up your game.

Like Hammie, Like Mom!

reminds me what dad did to me when we played that game… I notice we didn’t bring that out anymore. :j

I think Wanda is sending Darryl some sort of message here with that shot or do we have a “Mothe Like Son” situation here?

Like Mother, Like Son. Hammie comes by it honestly.

That was a fun game to play when I was growing up. I loved knocking someone’s ball away. I could make it go far, but, not up in the air.

I remember my cousins playing Croquet as kids, & one of them was allowed to put his foot on top of his ball when it landed next to his sister’s ball to knock his sister’s ball away

And it’s still rising.

This makes me think of the classic Peanuts strip where Lucy sends Charlie Brown’s ball across town and it lands next to a phone booth so he calls back home and gives the booths number so they could call him when it’s his turn and the number was Sparkies agents number

Man, there’s some power hitters there!!

I was the hit of the office picnic when, unannounced, I brought my croquet set. Many people said they hadn’t played since they were kids. I think more people wanted to play croquet than softball.

Maybe for the next shot she can borrow the Mythbuster’s cannon

Bocce is more fun and less complicated

I want to know just how Wanda hit that ball so that it moved upward. Going out of the yard, across the street, and into their neighbor’s garden patch would seem more likely.

And they wonder who Hammie learned it from!!

Today is National Spumoni Day(that means ice cream)

Wanda is channeling Minnesota Fats

ahh… like mother, like son!

Doesn’t that mean that Wanda’s ball is now way off the playing field, too?

SO THAT’S where Hammie gets the “naughty” gene!

Wanda is letting out some of her frustrations.

Wrong game, Wanda.
