A Baby Blues Collection #26

The twenty-sixth Baby Blues Scrapbook by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott captures parenthood at its most gloriously chaotic: on the cover, a haggard dad is flat on his back, a baby perched on his chest tugging at his nose ring while a wild-haired older boy yanks a rope tied to his leg, and a red-haired toddler looks on wide-eyed from the floor. That single image says everything you need to know — this is a household where no adult is ever truly off duty, and the kids have all the leverage. Fans of the strip will find this 2010 collection a warmly funny reminder that surviving family life is its own daily adventure.
