Cut!: Baby Blues Scrapbook #27
Baby Blues is a pitch-perfect and hilarious family-oriented comic strip that typifies modern parenting.
It's the director's cut in Kirkman and Scott's newest Baby Blues book. In this chronological collection, readers get a close-up view inside the home of the MacPhersons, a perfectly normal family with perfectly chaotic lives. Daryl and Wanda are deep in the trenches of childrearing and earning their stripes as parents to Zoe, Hammie, and baby Wren.
Baby Blues expertly illustrates why Band-Aids remain in short supply, tattling and teasing lead to time-outs, and an unplanned visit to the dentist or auto mechanic occurs just when the bills seem to be caught up.

Baby Blues is hilarious, if you like laughing at yourself. Which is generally the best thing to laugh at.

Maybe my expectations were to high, but this isn't the best of them.
Some of the stripes made me smile though - but in this one I can't see the kids are getting any older, so for me it looks like the stripes are on repeat from earlier scrapbooks.

Cute. A couple of laughs.

The middle third of this collection is outstanding. Especially a series of strips about Wanda attempting to take a fitness class at the gym, which includes so many true to life scenes. There are several other gems as well. But the first and final thirds are pretty OK. Nothing really stood out or caused me to laugh out loud. Still, as always, a cut above the usual mainstream comic strip fare.

Typical Baby Blues fun with plenty of adventures for the kids and parents. Zoe baby-sits Wren and does a poster on the invention of the rug while Hammie discovers the terrors of the library. The family also deals with a mouse in the house.

Baby Blues is one of the best comic strips about family I ever, ever read! It's funny and witty and it reminds me of my family...

We own every copy of this hilarious comic series. So true to what being a family is like.

This one had me constantly laughing out loud! From Wren with spaghetti all over her head, to Hammie eating popcorn found in the couch cushions, to Zoe using her baby sister to cover her sneeze.

I laughed out loud. Family life at it's best and normal.
