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. It's a book the strip's 40 million loyal daily readers are sure to relish as they anxiously await the arrival of the latest addition to the MacPherson home.

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.

Baby Blues 2
Yep, just like it was when raising kids. Only I didn't see the humor in it then. Now that I have grandkids, I see them all through the book. Love reading the books and sending clips to my kids.

Baby Blues...what else to say?
we love the Baby Blues comics and this one is very funny...recommended to all parents (or parents-to-be)
