    About this ebook

    A Baby Blues treasury celebrating thirty years of the comic strip that captures the funny, frustrating, frazzled world of parenthood—includes bonus content!

    In addition to a year’s worth of Baby Blues comics, this colossally entertaining collection sheds light on the unique collaborative process of Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott—each a winner of the Reuben Award for Best Cartoonist of the Year—who have helped transform some of the most stressful moments in life into some of the most hilarious. The book includes a foreword from Rick, a reflection by Jerry, and a special section of archival photographs, memorabilia, and illustrations from the duo’s three decades of Baby Blues collaboration.

      But in this pandemic, we’ve learned how relative time is. While some count the minutes and seconds at home, staying in to help stop the spread so health care professionals can get a handle on COVID-19, the world is transforming at the speed of Usain Bolt. Lives and jobs lost, businesses and schools closing, financial markets crashing and rising and falling, and . . .
