This creator pulls more material from the one-child Gumbo family than other cartoonists can with five times the number of characters and settings. That magic comes through in Brady's seventh collection, Rose is Rose Running on Alter Ego. The lively series of daily and Sunday strips revolves around Rose-devoted wife and doting mother-who, try as she might, just can't keep her biker chick fantasies totally in check. Rose never knows, as she manages her blue-collar husband, Jimbo, and their energy-fired son, Pasquale, when Vicki the Biker may show up. But when the long-haired, short-skirted babe surfaces, it's always with a breath of fresh air and a fresh take on "normal" family life. Besides appearing on the cover, Rose as Vicki shines throughout the collection, in six new full-page drawings created just for the book. Each shows the seemingly satisfied housewife's alter ego performing some mundane chore demanded by Rose's less adventurous life, while Brady's usual mix of family fun, frolic, and fancy gives Gumbo fans plenty of delight. 829556 1 4 2005 Running on Alter Ego (Rose Is Rose Collection) total:19|5:10|4:7|3:2|2:0|1:0| 19 84 27 0 5 0 false false Tue Oct 20 12:09:20 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 20 12:09:20 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Apr 01 15:01:21 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 01 15:01:21 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Mar 25 00:47:52 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 25 00:47:52 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Feb 14 13:52:54 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 14 13:52:54 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Sat Jan 10 20:44:15 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 10 20:44:15 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Nov 16 07:10:08 -0800 2008 Sun Nov 16 07:10:08 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Fri Oct 24 14:56:28 -0700 2008 Fri Oct 24 14:56:28 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Wed Aug 27 13:02:38 -0700 2008 Wed Aug 27 13:02:38 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Fri Aug 08 12:12:17 -0700 2008 Fri Aug 08 12:12:17 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Sat Aug 02 16:44:41 -0700 2008 Sat Aug 02 16:44:41 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Fri Jul 25 16:18:08 -0700 2008 Fri Jul 25 16:18:08 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Wed Jul 23 07:33:57 -0700 2008 Wed Jul 23 07:33:59 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Fri Jul 18 14:20:43 -0700 2008 Fri Jul 18 14:20:43 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Tue Jun 24 12:58:51 -0700 2008 Tue Jun 24 12:58:51 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Mon May 26 02:28:54 -0700 2008 Mon May 26 02:29:06 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Thu May 01 22:38:18 -0700 2008 Thu May 01 22:38:18 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Wed Apr 16 16:17:44 -0700 2008 Wed Apr 16 16:17:44 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Sun Apr 13 19:56:10 -0700 2008 Wed Feb 18 16:28:13 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Tue Mar 18 10:36:45 -0700 2008 Tue Mar 18 10:36:45 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Tue Mar 18 08:07:59 -0700 2008 Tue Mar 18 08:07:59 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=844030
