Baby Blues 07: I Saw Elvis In My Ultrasound

Baby Blues Scrapbooks #7

by Rick Kirkman, Jerry Scott

""Let's name the baby Lexus! It's gender-neutral. . . . It's unique. . . . Plus, people will be really impressed! 'There go the MacPhersons,' they'll say, 'they have a Lexus!'"" When Jerry Scott and Rick Kirkman put their heads together, comedy springs forth like a baby out of bath water. This cartooning duo delights readers with I Saw Elvis in My Ultrasound . I Saw Elvis... documents the day-to-day challenges Wanda and Darryl MacPherson face as they juggle the demands of raising adorable Zoe with getting ready for Bundle of Joy No. 2. The older, and somewhat wiser couple think they've got this kid business under control, only to find a whole new set of parenting problems on their hands. Potty-training becomes ""potty pleading,"" Wanda concludes that she's not just pregnant, she's ""abdominally challenged,"" and Darryl admits that what he really sees in the ultrasound screen is . . . Elvis.

Reviews

Another collection of fairly early strips, as the couple has another baby, a son this time.

On its way to familiar territory.

[Ross Vincent · Rating 4 out of 5]

So you have your hands full, dealing with a 2 year old. So what do you go and go - have a 2nd child. And while you are thinking it is a girl, SURPRISE!!! It's a boy.

Now the fun REALLY begins!!!

And thus sums up Daryl and Wanda's next step in parenthood.

The humor throughout the years have been funny, but this my first time reading their pregnancy jokes and it was outstanding!

Really funny stuff. Somehow, as the years go by, it gets better!

I didn't find this book as funny as the first in the series but it is a good read for those parents who are expecting their second child.

[Pam Bales · Rating 5 out of 5]

Baby Blues is a hysterical comic strip. This one was just sitting there on the shelf, and it called my name. If you don't have it in your daily paper, the compilations have been around for years.
