Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for March 01, 2022

Darryl, you’re f…… dead meat.

Uh huh. It vacuums the floor so it must be female, therefore vacuuming is women’s work. Gotcha. I’m next in line to punches him.

Jealous much is she?

Too late ..!!

When I bought my classic car off an older woman she referred to the car as she!

Open mouth insert foot!

Whassa big deal? Lots of objects are referred to as female. Ships, cars, Venus.

As long as you don’t name it Emmanuelle.

There are times when nothing goes right, every your words, go astray….

Rümbot? Ohh, it WAS the name on the box, check yesterday! My first thought was it was something she made up.

He put googley eyes on the robot!

Strike two Darrel.

And she’s probably 20 years younger too

Those robotic vacuums aren’t as smart as they claim. They’re always running into thinks. If they were really all that smart, they’d avoid obstacles.

MOST guys refer to mechanical things as “she/her”. Been that way since the beginning of … man.

Daryl you dig yourself deeper.

RAND: Thank you. Hello, Beauregard. How are you today, darling? SULU: Her name’s Gertrude. RAND: No, it’s a he plant. A girl can tell. SULU: Why do people have to call inanimate objects “she,” like she’s a fast ship? RAND: He is not an inanimate object. He’s so animate he makes me nervous. In fact, I keep expecting one of these plants of yours to grab me. (“The Man Trap,” Star Trek TOS, Season 1)

This is another take on a robot vacuum… “who” is obviously a “he” : https://i.imgur.com/s7P8P5lh.gif

Joe Rumsey didn’t make out so good with the oatmeal test,either.

Many Roomba owners name their Roombas anyway, so this one may end up being a her.

Things of beauty, grace & speed are referred to in the feminine gender.

My ironing board is named Sheila

Appears some people don’t understand men refer to all objects as she. Jeez.

Now that’s just petty.

OH MY LORD!! WHEN DID THE BABY BLUES SHOW THE COMICS FROM THE BEGINNING??! I AM SO READING THESE FROM SCRATCH!!

Strike 2 Darryl! XD

It went “Zip” when it moved

And “Bop” when it stopped

And “Whirrr” when it stood still

I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will!

I gotta ask. Why do we always refer to our machines, gadgets and vehicles by female pronouns? I’ve always found that a little strange, even though I do it as well…..

I go back and forth as to what pronouns I imagine for machinery.

In some cultures, many objects are considered either masculine or feminine. In France,, for example, all nouns are either masculine or feminine, so a rumbot could very well be feminine.
