Para descansar a mente dos problemas relacionados com o E@D , comecei a reler a série Adam.

Fantástico!

For some reason this doesn't come up when you search 'Brian Basset'. This edition has a foreword by Lynn Johnston, who seems to have made an attempt to foster new cartoonists.

Not an outstanding strip, but it does have some good points. And it was one of the first strips to examine the travails of the stay-at-home dads out there. For that alone, it's worth a read.

My favoriter character, btw, is the baby, Nick. Many babies in cartoons an other media are represented as most unbabylike indeed. Nick is a solid baby. You could easily imagine Adam showing up on your doorstep, begging you to babysit him.

this is a funny book, not wildly amusing but funny. It is about a stay at home dad and his everyday struggles to raise a family. I think it would be way funnier if you actually had kids and could see yourself in some of this situations.
