Product Description

Usually the biggest struggles (and the biggest laughs) are over the smallest things, and nowhere is this truer than in households with kids. The latest Baby Blues collection, Baby Blues: Unplugged, overflows with all of the familiar domestic discord and chaos that has made this venerable family comic strip such a phenomenal success. In one strip, Hammie makes skis out of hot wheel tracks and two hair scrunchies and careens down a mountain of couch cushions. Meanwhile, Zoe carefully deliberates whether she wants her bath with or without bubbles, finally telling her Dad, "How about a regular bath with bubbles on the side?" For more than 12 years, Baby Blues has been providing parents with a much-needed laugh-a-day as they battle the daily challenges of keeping pace with their kids. Today, it's read by nearly 40 million parents and kids. It appears in more than 750 newspapers in 25 countries and 14 languages...and on refrigerators of households the world over.

Customer Reviews

Baby Blues Rules!
I just love Baby Blues. I can't get enough of it - I have the entire collection, and can't wait for the next one. And, I'm not a Mom - so it's not that you have to "relate" to get it...the humor is universal!

A Great Bunch of Laughs Once Again!
ONce again, Kirkman and Scott have hit the nail on the head as far as new parents go. Zoe and Hammie are up to their usual tricks in this scrapbook, only they are a little older now and into the toddler/preschool age and it's just hilarious! I have 3 kids of my own and this brings me more and more laughs.....

Especially the one where Zoe says, "This doesn't taste nearly as bad as it smells!" I can certainly relate. These cartoons just get funnier and funnier and I will certainly buy every book that comes out! Don't miss this one if you're a Baby Blues fan or if you have any kids or grandkids or want kids someday!

A skewed yet satisfying look at travails of harried parents
Baby Blues Unplugged is the fifteenth collection of uproariously funny Baby Blues newspaper comic strips syndicated in 750 newspapers, 25 countries, and in 14 languages all over the world. A skewed yet satisfying look at the travails of harried parents and their two children (an elementary-age girl and a toddler boy), who seem determined to test every limit there is in this laugh-out-loud compilation. A little gross humor concerning bodily functions appears, as parenting young ones is most assuredly not meant for the hygienically squeamish, -- but overall Baby Blues Unplugged is good clean fun!
