A Baby Blues Collection #30

The thirtieth installment of this beloved collection from Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott captures the whole MacPherson household in gloriously frantic form: a dark-haired mom reaches desperately across the bed while a soccer ball sails through the air, a red-haired toddler tunnels under the covers, a kid on a skateboard goes airborne, and a pacifier-equipped baby perches precariously on the headboard — all while dad clutches his coffee mug with the weary look of a man who has long since surrendered. Bedlam is the perfect title for a collection that finds humor in the beautiful, exhausting chaos of family life. Fans of the strip will find plenty to laugh at in this 2013 volume.
