Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for January 08, 2025

Good for you, Zoe. We’re all happy for you. Tomorrow she cleans the erasers.

The sisterhood is proud

Your suck-up skill is fierce because you desperately want to know your classmates’ test grades and see their reactions.

Zoe’s suckage has never been in doubt

Amazing negotiations skills?

Wait until she finds out it’s alphabetical. Adam, Barry, and Boscoe figured it out a while ago.

Those skills might be useful in your future, Zoe!

Your place in the Coven is sure, and the Force is strong with you!

Right up there with your tattling skills, Zoe.

Zoe scares me.

More fun outside clapping erasers.

Enjoy. You’ll be beaten to a pulp for those skills in the 7th grade. Then in the 8th you’ll be shunned and ignored into depressive oblivion. Then in the 10th you’ll find a sport you love and used the bat as weaponry.

this one made me crack up!!!

Okay, now I know why the artists draw Zoe’s head so big, as it is due to her inflated ego, but why do they draw the rest of the characters heads to big? They aren’t egomaniacs like Zoe?

Before or after they were completed which could alter the classmates feeling toward you. After, allows Zoe to see everyones grade and stockpile ammunition for playground gossip.

Back in the day, a perfect suck up was being chosen to run the film strip projector and tape recorder

I thought everything is online these days?

Teacher’s Pet! Teacher’s Pet! Nyah-nyah, nyah-nyah-nya!

This is an edited rerun of February 22, 2022’s strip.

Maybe the teacher chose Zoe because she knows the kids will hate the one handing them a test to do?

you’ll go far… (especially if you pursue a career in politics! lol!)

LOL

Between her suck up skills and constant tattling, she has a future career in politics.

I was always accused of sucking up to certain teachers, they were all friends of my mother. Of course I’d be nice.

In high school algebra there were 2 boys in the class named Paul, & both their last names started with Ra.

The teacher was returning graded tests to us, & inadvertently returned a test to the wrong Paul. Seeing the error he returned it, saying it was the other Paul. The teacher looked & said he was right, & the first Paul walked away looking visibly relieved with an audible “Whew!”

But how do your classmates feel about you?

She’s a natural.

The name for students like her used to be “teacher’s pet”.

Blessed beyond belief.

She will go far in the right company or government agency……

I hate that she’s proud of that.

There’s a suck up in my class and she has NO friends except for our math teacher who’s in her 60s.
