Product Description

"Family-friendly comic strips would seem to be nonexistent these days. But there is one-the delightful Baby Blues--that kids can read and enjoy with their parents." --Virginia Parent News

"It's been a while since there has been a baby in Baby Blues, but here they go again. Darryl and Wanda, already the parents of two, are adding a third little one to the MacPherson household, and they somehow continue to stay good-humored about life amid the chaos of a household on the grow.

Never a Dry Moment is the latest collection of the phenomenally popular comic strip. In this latest collection, Zoe and Hammie watch in amazement as their mommy's pregnancy takes shape--literally. Zoe wonders if her mom's oversized belly truly is all baby or if it's also housing a whole box of pudding pops that seems to be missing. "That's a different bulge," says Wanda. "Check behind me." And Hammie and Zoe still want Wanda to play baseball with them, even if it is just to be the backstop.

Never a Dry Moment showcases Jerry Scott and Rick Kirkman's uncanny ability to humorously tap the everyday joys and trials of parenting young children.

More Humor on the Domestic Scene
Wanda, Yolanda, and Bunny are all pregnant; Bunny with twins. Darryl "accidentally" discovers his new baby's gender - maybe. After all, he's always had trouble with the ultra sounds. But Wanda doesn't want to know what they're having. Not that it keeps him out of trouble for keeping the secret. Zoe and Hammie are experiencing the pangs of sibling rivalry, and it's just the two of them for now. Meanwhile, Zoe's in first grade and Hammie's in pre-school. And before this book is over, all the babies will be born.

I'd forgotten just how much I enjoy this strip until I picked this book up recently. Authors Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott manage to find humor and irony in everyday situations and conversations, making it easy to identify with. Wanda especially has a great sense of sarcasm, which I always enjoy. Yet the strip also captures loving family moments without being too sappy.

This is one of the truly funny strips still in papers today. I won't let it be this long before I visit the MacPherson's again.

Another great book by Kirkman and Scott
I loved the book. It's amazing how they can capture so much of life in so little space.
