2.0 out of 5 stars I'm disappointed, September 22, 2008

I think it should have been better advertised that this was a compilation book of old strips, not the newest collection. I was really excited for the next one, and preordered this.

I will grant it that some of the school strips are the best of Kirkman and Scott, but if you already own most of the BB books, this isn't a necessary purchase.

2.0 out of 5 stars It's a "treasury", not a "collection", October 1, 2008

This review is from: The Day Phonics Kicked In: Baby Blues Goes Back to School (Paperback)

I was so looking forward to the next regular installment of this comic strip (which the local newspaper unaccountably doesn't carry). I was so disappointed to discover that despite looking for all the world like a regular, almost-square collection of last year's strips, it's actually a "treasury" of all the strips they've ever done about school. Perhaps it might make a good gift for a teacher, but I think I'll be figuring out Amazon's return policy for the first time ever.

1.0 out of 5 stars RIP-OFF!, November 17, 2008

Ditto: Same for Baby Blues as for Zits Pierced. I wasn't so lucky with this one, because I had it pre-ordered. When I go it, my surprise was huge! Another rehash! I have every sketchbook, so I got stuck with this rip-off. Again, shame on you. At least, have the nerve to call it a treasury.
