Product Description
"Ever since Rose is Rose began, I have been one of its most ardent admirers." --Charles Schulz
Nominated as Best Newspaper Comic Strip five times Rose is Rose is the strip where daydreams and reality meet and mingle.
Life in the Gumbo family is anything but ordinary. A toe-biting monster dwells in the bathtub drain, awaiting Pasquale's bath time. Family-minded Rose occasionally morphs into her wild alter ego, Vicki the biker. Rose's love-note-writing husband Jimbo never disappoints as the always hopelessly hopeful romantic. The creation of Pat Brady and Don Wimmer, this Rose is Rose collection features more than 40 weeks of Gumbo family high jinks.
After two decades of sketching every Rose is Rose strip himself, Brady shifted the writing and drawing duties to Don Wimmer. This Rose is Rose collection features the talents of Wimmer as based on Brady's creation.

Love it!
Depicting the challenges facing families in today's crazy world in a humorous light, you will recognize your own life within the frames. While it may be more difficult than ever to balance the demands of family, career, and everything in between, perhaps all you really need is a little imagination to make it happen. Rose is Rose hits the nail on the head.
Rose is Rose is awesome as ever.
Rose is Rose never fails to lift your spirits and this collection is no exception.
Life is Rosie
Rose Is Rose is not only funny but also often touching. The characters are fun and, at the same time, insightful. Whether it is through Rose's alter ego, Jimbo's outlook on adulthood or Paquale's encounters with his Guardian angel or his rotten cousin Clem, each strip gives us a look at ourselves. Enjoy.
