Baby Blues: Ten Years and Still in Diapers: A Baby Blues Treasury

Baby Blues Specials

by Jerry Scott

Over the years, fans have lovingly accompanied Darryl and Wanda MacPherson on their evolving journey as parents-and what a trip it's been! Filled with temper tantrums and tender affection, with flying food, potty training, and sibling rivalry, Baby Blues has become one of the most beloved family-oriented comic strips in the world.

When Zoe was first born, Darryl and Wanda stood back as their home was transformed by chaos. Just as the tyke was going mobile, Wanda found out she was pregnant again, and we watched as the family adapted to the demands of two kids. Now Zoe has matured into a big sister to baby Hamish-who's learning to walk and talk, in addition to rolling. The MacPhersons find their lives have become immeasurably richer, except in terms of actual income!

Baby Ten Years and Still in Diapers is a special treasury of the beloved strip, featuring Sundays in all their colorful glory. Countless Baby Blues fans can identify with the MacPhersons, who balance never-ending mayhem around toys and vegetable consumption with an undying love and quest to raise their little ones into healthy adults. Parents and nonparents alike have fallen head-over-heels for the sidesplitting, yet realistic, family humor that Baby Blues has consistently delivered to their homes.

I've been reading Baby Blues for a long time and recently decided to collect all the books in the series and read them and I am glad I did! This oversize treasury compilation that includes color strips is from the late 1990s. Zoe and Hammie are around but not yet Wren. There are many hilarious adventures such as when Hammie takes up rolling around instead of crawling; Zoe starts dressing herself and they put the kids in the care of a very young babysitter. The authors also include an article on how they conceptualize and produce a strip. This is a great collection for any fan of the series and despite being over 25 years old none of the strips seems dated.

Baby Blues: Ten Years and Still in Diapers: A Baby Blues Treasury by Jerry Scott – I’m sure the actual diaper years feel like they last decades to people changing diapers too (not just the comic strip writers lol)! Happy Reading!

It's so fun when there's commentary in the margins, from inspiration for certain comics, letters from readers, or behind the scenes workings.
