Book Description

Publication Date: April 1, 2007

Baby Blues "is a genuinely hilarious comic strip." --Rants and Raves

Childhood-synonymous with slip 'n' slides, bubble gum, and getting your little brother in trouble. Parenthood-synonymous with Band-Aid bandages, haircuts, and giving timeouts for tattling. Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott effortlessly navigate the nuances of everyday family life in Briefcase of Baby Blues

Named Best Comic Strip of the Year by the National Cartoonists Society, Baby Blues details the goings-on inside the MacPherson home. Running at a frenzied pace, young parents Darryl and Wanda keep up with Zoe, Hammie, and baby Wren as Kirkman and Scott perfectly capture the domestic discord and creative chaos associated with this household's hilarious activities.

These guys manage to capture what is great and often hilarious about families. I couldn't do it better. I hope they continue to do this for many years. I would recommend this one to anyone who is a fan of Baby blues.

3.0 out of 5 stars Still funny, but Zoe annoys me, July 13, 2007

By 

Philly Shaw (St. Louis, MO USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Briefcase Full of Baby Blues (Paperback)

I still enjoy reading the comic strip, but as the kids age I get annoyed at all the parents put up with. Zoe's a snot and there seems to be a lack of discipline. It's just annoying to me to read smart-mouthed kids back talking their parents. I don't find it funny since I run into these kids all over the place and it isn't funny then, either. That lack of respect for one's elders isn't cute or funny. It's pathetic, mean and doesn't serve society well as a whole. Daryl, though, is still my favorite.
