No Yelling!: A Baby Blues Collection

By Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott

This collection from the popular comic strip offers hilarious insight into the ups and downs of modern parenting.

For more than twenty-five years, the MacPherson family has brought the joy, humor, and poignancy of raising three children to funny pages worldwide. No Yelling! shines a comedic light on everything from dealing with picky eaters to the consequences of too much screen time. From gargantuan messes to legendary sibling disputes the MacPhersons manage to overcome many of life's hurdles.

With witty and informative commentary from the co-creators themselves, this collection will appeal to anyone who has kids or who remembers what it was like to be one.

Rick: His and Hers Temperature Zones. Please, someone, go out and invent that.

Jerry: I like to talk to people who don’t have kids. It’s as close as I come to speaking a foreign language.

Rick: Glory days . . . I never had any, either. I’m still trying to create some, but it’s a lost cause.

Rick: Isn’t that a parent’s job, wringing every cent’s worth of value out of everything? I didn’t really think

Reviews for No Yelling!

[burnit99 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I often mentally compare this family strip with "Zits", another great family strip with a somewhat different focus. For the first time, I'm coming around to the idea that "Baby Blues" slightly beats out "Zits" for consistency. This collection is consistently hilarious, with nary a clunker and quite a few milk-snorters, and with a smaller cast of characters than with "Zits". The latter may sometimes reach higher to greater heights of hilarity, but the duds are more frequent also. And I love the frequent commentary by the two creators here (one of whom, Jerry Scott, also works on "Zits").
