Gross!

By Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott

For more than 25 years, the MacPherson family has brought the joy, humor, and poignancy of raising three children to funny pages worldwide in the popular comic strip, Baby Blues. Gross! reveals the sticky underbelly of parenting, shining a comedic light on everything from dealing with picky eaters to too much screen time. From gargantuan messes to legendary sibling disputes, readers will love following along as the MacPhersons--Darryl, Wanda, and children Zoe, Hammie, and Wren--overcome many of life's hurdles.

Gross! offers a perceptive glimpse into the lives of modern parents, complemented by 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: Title panel: Wanda doing Taxi Driver, with Robert De Niro’s mole.

Jerry: It wouldn’t be right if I said that this idea came from years of watching my wife rehearsing kid lectures under her breath. Nope, it wouldn’t be right at all.

Rick: Wonder Woman could be difficult to be married to, with that whole Lasso of Truth thing.

Rick: And a morning DJ is born.

Jerry: Nothing personal, you Dereks of the world. I just like the way the name looks in print. Oh, and watch out for Zoes.

Rick: I don’t get it . .
