Surviving the Great Indoors

By Jerry Scott and Rick Kirkman

The zaniest and most-relatable newspaper comic about parenting life is back with a collection featuring one of America’s favorite families—the MacPhersons!

Baby Blues transcends the comic page by fusing the award–winning imaginations of Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott with familiar family life. Kirkman and Scott intuitively balance the humorous with the poignant through relatable and sometimes all-too-familiar parenting scenes. This latest collection includes a year’s worth of strips, many with commentary by Jerry and Rick.

Rick: I have no idea what I have Darryl and Hammie assembling, but I’d put money on it that there will be at least one part left over.
