Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for October 28, 2024

Self-Esteem is overrated. Some people see it as the solution to all the world’s problems, but it’s not.

All weapons are banned at schools, even paper towel tube swords.

Your self esteem will survive, Hammie!

This looks like it’s a job for CPS!

What the hell is wrong with that woman?

That is among the worst Halloween swords I’ve ever seen. Swing it through the air, and it will fall apart. Grasp the handle firmly, and you’ll crush it. Somebody needs to demand a refund.

Stupid kid! Since when parents care about their kids’ self-esteems?

Is it just me or do the sidewalks in their town float above a body of water?

Hammie, you do realize if the teachers see a cardboard toilet paper roll, they’re going to freak out.

Kids are getting so much smarter and sophisticated these days. …but not more than mothers!

So did Darryl fix up Hammie’s sword with some sort of laser beam?

“My name is Hamish MacPherson. You killed my self-esteem. Prepare to die…”

Self esteem is an important trait in all of us but, it is wrong to blame failures to achieve happiness & success on the inability of one to recognize the good in themselves.

Not nearly as damaging as having all the kids in class laugh at you Hammie. Take it as a lesson learned.
