Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for January 22, 2025

But how much debt do these “rich families” have?

Hope they make a success of whatever they are making. Ikea?

“these days”?

Zoe still mad about the diary thing?!

“Keep up with Jones” is tough nut to bear?

They better hope Zoe’s friend doesn’t cozy up to Commando Cody.

In a minute, they are going to realize that they only have 3 of screw ‘A’ (6 needed), 12 of bolt ‘B’ (4 needed), and 8 of nut ‘D’ (4 of nut ‘C’ needed).

You can get one as an Easter egg in The Talos Principle. It’s hidden in a secret cave.

Hammie, the jet pack has been around for over 70 + years now, and it still only has a 30 second range. In 70 years they have managed to extend the range from 20 seconds, to whopping 8- 10 minutes. I wouldn’t get my hopes up on having a useful jetpack in your lifetime.

My sister was jealous of her friends’ clothes too, from what I remember

Rather than Zoe,I’m wondering what doomed project they’re working on

Wouldn’t we all? Wouldn’t we all. If it just weren’t for those pesky plutonium rods. Of course, there IS the Zapata Flyboard, if you can afford it. And a few other expensive personal flight devices, also very expensive.

They really aren’t at all practical. Most people would probably end up killing themselves, unless they couldn’t figure out how to make the pack do anything at all.

About the last frame: In real life, Darryl would be telling Hammie not to hold onto that board in the place he is about to drill a hole through.

According to Christian teachings, envy is considered a sin, specifically listed as one of the seven deadly sins, signifying a serious moral transgression that can lead to other harmful actions; it refers to the resentment or sadness felt at another person’s good fortune, often with a desire to have it for oneself.

I can recall Zoe and Keesha grousing about a classmate—who was riding her horse to school for show and tell.

I’d be envious too.

Air Daryl, he would be.

I would rather be in an ultralight with the built in Parachute than a jet pack.

Never cared much for flying cars (airborne traffic congestion, yuck), but wouldn’t mind a jet pack.

The Department of Jetpack Suppression is still hard at work.

Who wouldn’t?
