A Baby Blues Collection #19

The nineteenth Baby Blues Scrapbook from Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott captures the beautiful chaos of parenthood in a single devastating image: a frazzled adult, wild-haired and wide-eyed, is being dragged horizontally across the room while toys, blocks, a toy bat, a doll, a miniature plane, a book, and what appears to be a small cow tumble through the air around them — all set against the deceptively cheerful backdrop of a playroom wall. The title *Playdate: Category 5* says everything you need to know about the storm-force energy of small children at play. Collected in 2004, this volume promises the warm, knowing humor that has made Baby Blues a beloved fixture for any parent who has ever surveyed their living room with equal parts love and exhaustion.
