A Baby Blues Collection #18

The cover of this 18th Baby Blues Scrapbook collection says it all — chalk-drawn figures of the MacPherson kids are arranged as a math equation on a blackboard, with two older children adding up to one wide-eyed baby, the whole chaotic sum tumbling below the equals line. It's a wonderfully clever visual gag from Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott that captures the delightful mayhem of a growing family in a single glance. A charming 2004 collection for anyone who's ever felt that household arithmetic doesn't quite add up.
