Please Coach, this is a softball game, not a wildlife park. League rules prohibit animals in the dugout. Please remove that chimp, preferably to somewhere downwind! What are you feeding that thing? It smells worse than the flamingo enclosure at the zoo.

NOOO!? I’ll give you NOOO!:
Just give the baby Gil his sippy cup full of bourbon. What’s the big deal?

Settle down, soldier? What happened to ease up, as in “ease up, Kiser”?
Ease up, Kiser. All I’m saying is that we could have made adequate arrangements for your baby hog chimp beast.
Jaxon?
Chimp beast, “Jaxon”. Whatever. Look, I’ve got a cranky, pants shitting baby of my own at home to take care of. I’d kinda like to steer clear of that in my coaching career.
I didn’t know that Coach. How old is your baby?
Well he was created in 1958, so I guess he’ll be 70 this year.

(That joke never gets old…or does it?)
This is why never give a kid to grandma http://youtu.be/6-ZMO8jhbwg and this is why you don’t have them in the dugout http://youtu.be/hPHQkRkXoNU

OMG, that baby gorilla gets uglier in each passing strip! In the second panel in the first strip has he got one tooth??? He looks like Patrick Starr when he gives that goofy one tooth smile! https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Occasional-One-Tooth-Smile-Patrick-Star-Does/11176259887033
This kid has as much of a vocabulary as the Frankenstein monster had in the Bride of Frankenstein. (Mommy…Good!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uebg79nKWDU&feature=related Come to think of it, he’s not much better looking either.
Now that Milford won, this little monkey boy is going to be at every game. I suppose he’ll be at the beginning every game doing the “Peanut Butter Jelly Time” dance in a banana suit.
That’s gonna be my new saying every time someone loses it “Settle down, soldier!” That is the new “Ease up!”
“Grandma….Nooooooooooooooooo….she smell like Old Granddad! (And I don’t mean his grandfather!)

Didn’t mean to post 2x…I thought the first post didn’t go through. I think I need some Old Granddad.

4/26 panel 2 offers definitive proof that Jaxon’s sperm donor was Alfred E Neuman.

Jaxon pitches a fit: “Jaxon angry! Jaxon smash!!”

Is this going to lead to some sort of high school pregnancy-pact storyline? “Aww, he’s so cute! We can’t wait to bring forth our own little homunculi!”
At first glance, I thought little Jaxxon was saying “MOOO,” which would make sense because he’s obviously carrying some bovine DNA.

Mimi’s “Settle down solder” is clearly the phrase of the year (so far)!
Of course, when Mimi says that they could have “made things easier”, she is referring to the hit man/kidnappers/boarding school that she and Gil used to get rid of their own kids. And to the fact that, as the resident Milford Ho, she can teach DK how to be a tramp and not get caught.

Did you say Tramp?
Comment by nedryerson — April 28, 2012 @ 11:32 pm
In the good old days when parents were parents, Jaxon would be taken back behind the stands for an attitude adjustment because he pitched a hissy fit. And Jaxon would return to the stands & behave….. Here Jaxon is rewarded for his tantrum by getting special attention. He’ll be a handful as he gets older, & a problem for society….

I don’t understand 4/28 panel 1. Do they really put a Milford baserunner on first just because Jaxon is at the game?

4/28 P1: lil’ Jaxon’s head has shrunk (shrunken?) from monstrous adult size to something more proportional. Did Jefferson put a hex on him?
Comment by teenchy — May 1, 2012 @ 5:20 am
Jaxon’s proportions are more inconsistent than the freaking Rescue Rangers. “Quick, everyone hide in this thimble! Now we’ll have a fight using scissors as swords! And now to fly this paper airplane to safety!”
