by Jan Eliot

Capturing the riotous and exhausting life of working mom Val Stone and her extended blended family . . . Jan Eliot has created a classic family story for our times." --"New York Newsday"

* Jan Eliot manages to find the humor in working parent hassles, the terrible twos, middle-school angst, love, and the life of the single mom in this all-color collection. The all-too-real humor of "Stone Soup" is very wise and very funny.

Distributed to more than 150 newspapers in six countries with over eight million loyal fans, "Stone Soup" is a funny, irreverent, sympathetic comic strip that mirrors today's complicated family life . . . while cheering us on.

* Jan Eliot's "Stone Soup" follows the riotous and exhausting life of working mom Val, her daughters Holly and Alix, and her often too-close-for-comfort extended blended family . . . conveniently living right next door.

I think I have said it before that Stone Soup is one of my favourite daily strips. Honestly, it has been a while since I picked up the Sunday Times or daily Straits Times so I am not sure if comic strips are still featured like they used to be.

Enjoyed this and it made my Sunday:)

Wishing for more in ebook

Those comics are hilarious and relatable.
You can actually enjoy and consider them as a real family that you could love to know and hang out with.
If only more books could be out in ebook since its not easy to get the paper version in my country.

Everyday Life, but Funnier

Not about two typical families, but two families doing their best with the families fate has dealt them. There are two sisters. One is a divorcee with a toddler, a Jewish husband and his teenage nephew who lives with them. The other is a widow with two young girls, both challenging in their own way. The "Stone Soup" comic strip tells the story of these two young women's struggles and successes. Always uplifting. Always funny.

This was my favorite of the collections so far. I don't know it it was the new plot, that it was colored or what, but I sped through this thing.

I am re-reading the whole series as a comfort read.
