Never A Dry Moment

Baby Blues Scrapbooks #17

by Rick Kirkman, Jerry Scott, Rebecca Tanquery

"Family-friendly comic strips would seem to be nonexistent these days. But there is one-the delightful Baby Blues --that kids can read and enjoy with their parents." -- Virginia Parent News

"It's been a while since there has been a baby in Baby Blues, but here they go again. Darryl and Wanda, already the parents of two, are adding a third little one to the MacPherson household, and they somehow continue to stay good-humored about life amid the chaos of a household on the grow.

Never a Dry Moment is the latest collection of the phenomenally popular comic strip. In this latest collection, Zoe and Hammie watch in amazement as their mommy's pregnancy takes shape--literally. Zoe wonders if her mom's oversized belly truly is all baby or if it's also housing a whole box of pudding pops that seems to be missing. "That's a different bulge," says Wanda. "Check behind me." And Hammie and Zoe still want Wanda to play baseball with them, even if it is just to be the backstop.

Never a Dry Moment showcases Jerry Scott and Rick Kirkman's uncanny ability to humorously tap the everyday joys and trials of parenting young children.

[David Allen Hines · Rating 4 out of 5]

I've been reading Baby Blues for many years and recently decided to buy and read all the books in the strip's history, and I have been really enjoying it! This volume is one of the earlier ones, and includes strips in the 2002 or so period. Almost 25 years ago, but the strips are timeless and not dated at all. Almost every page brings a smile and laugh. Zoe and Hammie are still very young and Wanda becomes pregnant with Wren during this book. Both Wanda and her neighbor Yolanda have their babies at the same time, which makes an amusing episode with the dads since the plan had been for one family to watch the other's children while that was happening! After Wren is born there are many amusing strips about her infancy. Any fan of the series will love this book!

This has been my favorite comic strip for many many years. It's become even funnier to me as a parent.
This collection chronicles the MacPhersons as they go from having two kids to three.
