Something Chocolate This Way Comes: A Baby Blues Collection (Baby Blues Scrapbook #21) this question feed

If art imitates life, then art could probably use a good vacuuming. That is, if you're talking about life around the MacPherson house. With three kids under the age of eight, things couldn't get much busier for Darryl and Wanda, who have been saturating the comics pages with dead-on family humor for a decade and a half.

Creators Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott have a special talent for distilling the essence of children, families, and married couples into a comic strip that, in frame after frame and strip after strip, creates a world that's both amusing and enlightening, in large part because their work mirrors our own experiences so closely. "Did you see the latest Baby Blues?" is one of the most-often asked questions among the strip's daily following of 40 million fans. "It looks just like us!"

I bought this book for my wife, because she loves chocolate and we have raised two kids. It is a very funny book. It should be read while eating chocolate too.

I can't believe the longevity of this strip and how it has stayed consistantly funny. When it first came out I found it really amusing as it dealt with the pitfalls of being a parent with a baby/children. Now all these years later, they are on their third child and the jokes are fresh and still very amusing. Baby Blues is an excellent series for the young and older fans.

I loved this new Baby Blues collection. It simply had me in tears. I liked it when Wren bumped her chin, the Hammie got greenstick fracture, then Zoe got bruised knuckles, and Darryl sprang his ankle. It was a hilarious Baby Blues story. I recommend this collection to anyone who wants to laugh.

I'd like to point out that this is NOT a TREASURY, but a SCRAPBOOK!!

Scrapbooks consist of the strips, and treasuries consist of the scrapbooks. This contains no color, and a minimal amount of srips! I was highly dissapointed and mislead by the title of this item.

This is a very good Baby Blues book! It has some same comics from the other comic books though.
