Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for January 21, 2025

You’re ploy wasn’t affective.

good one, Wanda

now tell her she’s not popular cuz all the other girls are jealous

Kaitlin trying to be the most popular girl in school.

Nice try, Zoe!

“The saddest day of your life isn’t when you decide to sell out. The saddest day of your life is when you decide to sell out and nobody wants to buy.”

A future politician in the making one of the few bipartisan things they have in common!

I bet Kaitlin’s mom buys pre-sliced apples.

lmao nice try kid.

Wanda continues – “And No you’re not getting a new backpack.”

Sounds all too familiar these days. It’s easier to just buy their kids stuff than to spend quality time with them.

Zoe here is certainly in the running for the Lucy Van Pelt award for Most Annoying Comic Strip Character, Pre-Teen Division. Who else would be in contention? Any candidates?

The artists really nailed the 10 thru 13 aged girl stereotype.

Maybe Kaitlin’s mom just thought she needed a new backpack.

Careful, Zoe, this kind of brattiness may result in owning fewer belongings.

“These are the times that try mom’s — patience.”

They could also be obsessed by fashion.

Right on Wanda, HOMEWORK!!!

After yesterday, Zoe may want to try this on dad. Unless mom and dad are wise to the ask both parents separately tactic.

Nice try Zoe.

Today is National Squirrel Appreciation Day

No,seriously…..

Ohh. Is it a JanSport?

Remember those days well as a kid. We lived on the wrong side of the tracks and there wasn’t extra money for designer clothes, the newest toy or vacations to exotic places. But I did get an education, 3 meals a day and a kiss goodnight at bedtime. I won.

“I ain’t cheap but I CAN be had.”

I keep thinking, how would Bluey’s parents handle this situation? (IYKYK….)
