    I never thought human babies were cute. It’s funny really how every other species’ babies are adorable in my eyes though…

      Well, they’re not cute immediately, you gotta wait about a month.

      Now that’s an interesting week’s worth of bugmartini strips. The interaction of the various bugs with their nemesis, the spider.

      I actually avoid any insect or spider-related humor. These bugs are just people; spiders would just confuse things.

    “Daddy, where do babies come from?”

    “Well, they’re picked out of pit of babies at Walmart.”

    Again, “smelly little flesh-sacks.” I know they’re innocent and the future (purportedly, though Adam has very recently provided strong evidence otherwise) and blah blah blah, but I just don’t like babies very much. I’d prefer a human at least old enough to communicate reasonably well and capable of *not* secreting foul-smelling substances at all hours.

    I wonder if extroverts are more likely to find babies cute than introverts…

      Introvert. Adore babies. Don’t think it has anything to do with it.

      Children aren’t our future. By the time they start to do things to change the world, they’re adults. And by that time… WE’RE TOO OLD TO CARE!!

    I’ve actually told me wife before that all babies look the same to me, and that it’s quite possible after we have kids I’ll accidentally pick the wrong up from daycare without even realizing it (she did not find this very funny).

    I read somewhere that newborns look like grumpy raisins. I agree.

      I think they look like little drunks with their swollen jowls.

    It’s why the “switched at birth” stories and (hopefully only a few) real life happenings have a lot of credence. At first they all look like baby Orangutans.

    I have NEVER liked human babies! They creep me out and make waaay too much noise and mess.

    Unfortunately, because I was born with a uterus, my attitude is considered very taboo.

      Maybe you should “come out” with that attitude, though. It’s shared by more people than you’d think, and maybe familiarity will breed acceptance, if you’ll pardon the expression.

      Me, I think all babies are icky unless they’re covered with fur. I’m not breeding unless I can have kittens.

      I love babies, I just have zero desire to produce my own (which is another attitude that gets a lot of disapproving looks.)

        Indeed. It’s tiresome in family reunions when you’re the only one that didn’t race to have one at the same time as your sisters-in-law, too…

        Isn’t “Baby Pit” already the name of Brangelina’s new infant?

    I would, however, note grandparents. It’s astounding; they know exactly what a baby looks like. From the first sighting, my mother was convinced that my daughter looked exactly like me.

    “Uh, Mom? No way. She’s too short. And her hair is too short! And I’m pretty sure that’s just what’s left of the umbilical cord. I can ask, if you want.”

    But no, even as a recognizable eleven year-old, she still looks exactly like herself.

    You know, now that he’s a father, I can’t help but picture his kid going through some of this kids and getting a bit pissed off.

    “OH! SO I WAS GENERICALLY CUTE, DAD! WELL I’M GONNA GET A TATTOO NOW! SEE HOW YOU LIKE IT!”

    Of course, if his wimpiness is inherited, there won’t be much of a problem ’cause she’ll regret the decision right before she enters the parlor.
