Herman by Jim Unger for January 11, 2023

Always ask for forgiveness instead of permission.

The kid looks bald. Is that radiation damage?

She didn’t say he couldn’t

In Chico, California there was at one time(maybe still is)a $500 fine on the books for detonating a nuclear device within the city limits.

Did Einstein’s mom say he could assist in splitting the atom so there’d be atom bombs?

No, it’s a BBQ grill. At least that’s what it looked like to me.

designing a nuclear bomb was the work of socially immature boys.

definitely she did – though I doubt she realized what he was talking about

“A low-power X-ray projector viewer? Why can’t you just sneak furtive looks at girlie magazines, like other boys your age?“

She said, ‘Just don’t go spreading dirt around my clean house.’

Looks like he’s working on the water heater

He’s gonna take it outside of town to test it.

“Son, have you seen the price of plutonium these days?!?”

A regular chip off the old blockhead.

Sheldon, is that you? lol

Knowing Herman as I do after all these years, he probably pronounces it nucular.

It’s ok. It is a next-generation thorium fusion reactor.

He built it just for them (and them only). It’s for their nuclear family.

She didn’t say I couldn’t.

She told me to ask you and I forgot….

Forget solar panels, every home should have one of these

AHEM. That’s a THERMO-nuclear device.

Is that receding hairline caused by genetics or radiation?

It’s got pipes that loop back on themselves. Won’t do nuthin’.

It’s amazing what you can do with a 1913 " Erector / Structural Steel and Electro-Mechanical Builder".

If they ever have the house tested for radon, I’m thinking the equipment to do so is going to go crazy!

It’s just a clock I built to take to school.

Small modular reactor.

Oh sure…..a disarmed nuclear device.

Mom said it was OK as long as he took outside to play with it.

Budding young terrorist…

Still needs fissionable material….

Looks more like a Electro Lux Vacuum Cleaner.

Someone called him a geek one too many times.

“She said, ‘Go ask your father.’.”.

Don’t worry. I have it on good authority from Sheldon Cooper that he won’t be able to get a hold of the plutonium.
