by Jerry Scott and Rick Kirkman

""Well, on the day you were born, the nurses all gathered 'round. And they gazed in wide wonder, as my face hit the ground. The head nurse looked up, said, ""Leave this one prone."" She could tell right away that I was Dad to the bone.""-Sing to the tune of George Thorogood's Bad to the Bone

Wanda is pregnant!

The Baby Blues family in this volume, with mother Wanda, father Darryl, and kids Zoe and Hammie, begin a suite of new adventures. Zoe is off to first grade, and Hammie to preschool. But the big news is that Wanda is pregnant! Here comes the future Wren! A few gems: Wanda: "Spit out your gum. It's time for supper." Zoe: "PYUII!" [spits into the wastebasket] Wanda: "Where did you get that gum, anyway?" Zoe: "It wasn't gum. It was that yummy bathroom string." Wanda to Darry: "From now on, we're buying unflavored dental floss." Mr. Doyle [Zoe's teacher as he's reading a book to the class]: "Now who thinks they know what the six little bunnies will do next?" Zoe: "Mr. Doyle! Mr. Doyle!" Mr. Doyle: "Yes, Zoe?" Zoe: "One time at dinner my brother did something really funny and I laughed so hard that mashed potatoes came out of my nose!" Mr. Doyle [looking at the book]: "What does that have to do with the six little bunnies?" Zoe: "Nothing. Sometimes I just gotta talk." And finally: Dr. Breezy [new obstetrician]: "Hi, I'm Dr. Breezy, Dr. West's new partner." Wanda: "Where's Dr. West?" Dr. Breezy: "At the hospital. She asked me to see you today and if it's okay with you, I'll be your obstetrician for this pregnancy." Wanda: "What are your qualifications?" Darryl: "Wanda! It's not polite to ask a doctor where she went to school ten seconds after you met her!" Wanda: "I didn't." Dr. Breezy: "Three kids, ages 5, 7, and 10. Two natural, one C-section. And I'm told I have very warm hands." If you like Baby Blues, you will like reading this next chapter in their lives!

Great comic book!

I thought this was one of the best comic books I've ever read. This book is enriching, funny, and good! This Babyblues Scrapbook is full of Darryl, Wanda, Zoe, and Hammie cartoons. I definitely would recommed this to children and Adults of all ages.

Another Great Collection from Kirkman & Scott

Ever since I started reading the Baby Blues comic strip, ages ago, I have loved it. I truly think these two gentlemen sit under my kitchen window, listening to what goes on in my house and taking notes!You'll laugh out loud when you see your own families' trials and tribulations drawn out in these strips -- and you WILL see yourself! That's the appeal of Baby Blues. Wanda and Daryl are typical American parents with typical American kids, and the typical American problems, joys, and laughter that we all have.I highly recommend all of the books in the Baby Blues series!
