Description
"Anyone with children, or even likes being around children, will find something to laugh about inBaby Blues." --Blade CitizenOceanside, CAWho can resist adorably wide-eyed Zoe MacPherson? Certainly not her parents, Wanda and Darryl, a mid-thirties career couple who've become mommy and daddy. But, like the millions of parents who flock to this engaging comic strip, the MacPhersons also find parenthood more rewarding--and frustrating--than they'd expected. Each day of this incisive and show more entertaining comic series, millions empathize with them as they face the joys and demands of parenting.I thought Labor Ended When the Baby Was Bornis aheartwarming collection fromBaby Bluescreators Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott. Developed in 1990 after Kirkman became a neophyte dad,Baby Bluesappeals to anyone who's witnessed the eye-opening experiences only a baby can bring. Moms, for example, relate to Wanda, a former midlevel career woman who now stays home full-time to care for the mostly adorable Zoe. Dads connect with rattled-but-determined Darryl, as he still staggers off to an office each day despite mind-boggling changes life has wrought at home. Together, Mom and Dad juggle and struggle to decipher their new relationship, wondering where romance fits in, whether they're "parentnoid," and how they're affecting their daughter.Artist Rick Kirkman and writer Jerry Scott know about parenting and provide a hilarious, yet true-to-life, view of this mixed blessing. show lessTags

A standard Baby Blues collection- funny, especially to parents. Well, sometimes all-too-real to parents, and not as amusing... Interesting characters, good artwork.
Zoe turns one year old, in the strip's fourth year. Still a fine strip, even if the creators can't quite get a consistent timeline down.
