Feels Like Christmas, Smells Like Pepperoni

Baby Skyler‘s freakishly rapid development continues apace. He’s about twice the size of most four weeks-olds, and sits erect, holds his head up, and can point at things.

  2. OK, you could probably interpret “Ooh” as a random noise made by a 3 week old baby (not having any children myself, I’m not sure exactly when they start making noise). At least he didn’t depict the kid as saying anything meaningful.

  3. Baby Skyler appears to pointing at the Virgin Mary!!! Is Skyler….the Messiah???!!!!!!……Nah, he’s probably snarking like us at how stupid this idiotic scene is. Unfortunately the only commentary he can provide is Ohh!
    Not being able to voice your opinions on stupid things may be the real hell!!

  4. Ah, the Montoni’s “celebrity” customer wall. Even with big shots Mikhail Gorbachev and Cousin It, John Darling’s photograph is front and center.

     

  5. So they do this every year in anticipation of children that haven’t been born yet??

    Coming next week: Baby Skyler’s first day at WHS goes poorly as Wedgeman swipes his Similac.

  6. Given all the bad publicity Batiuk has dished upon him, I’m not buying into this notion that John Darling ever dined at Montoni’s, much less submitted his photo for their version of a wall of fame (even narcissism has its limits). Hell, if he were alive, he’d probably be browbeating Jessica for marrying a loser like Darin in the first place.

  7. For once, I’m grateful to Batominc. At least the wall of fame doesn’t portray Will Ferrell as Ron Burgundy, who is saturating all other media at present, and not in a good way.

  8. Good catch, billy. Rachel’s wrist appears to be hiding a photo of a donkey or horse.

    Maybe Baby Skyler has progeria. That’s a tragedy Tom Batiuk has yet to exploit.

  9. bobanero: Babies usually begin “cooing” (ie. making happy, not-crying noises) at around two months. Some do start as early as 3-4 weeks, though, so this is the one aspect of Skyler’s current behavior that has some shred of plausibility.

    I think Skyler suffers from a little known condition called “Marvin’s Syndrome.” It’s a chronic developmental problem that occurs when a small child’s physical, mental, and emotional capabilities are entirely dependent on whatever joke the strip writer wants to make that day.

  10. I guess the Westview Holiday Stroll consists of shuffling through Montoni’s, then heading across the street to see some garlands and lights decorating the gazebo. Horrifying.
