Under the sticky seats, next to the molten milkshakes, unreturned
library books, and petrified french fries is where you'll probably
find the hidden microphone. Those Baby Blues cartoonists
undoubtedly planted it in your minivan, because how else could
they come up with the ideas for their comic strip that mirror
exactly what's going on in your life? Fans and critics have been
alternately checking under their seats and raving about the
realism of the parenting experience depicted in Baby Blues for
years. That realism is no accident (nor the result of illegal
wiretaps). Parents themselves, cocreators Rick Kirkman and Jerry
Scott have an infinite wellspring of material at their disposal.
As writer Jerry Scott explains, "As long as kids keep having runny
noses and wiping them on the drapes, we're in business." And
business is booming. Running in nearly 1,000 newspapers and more
than 20 other periodicals worldwide, Baby Blues is enjoyed by 40
million fans daily. The latest colorful treasury, Driving Under
the Influence of Children, not only contains over 240 pages of
award-winning Baby Blues comic strips, but also the very first
Baby Blues stickers, including a bumper sticker that should be
affixed to nearly every minivan on the road.
Includes strips from the books Two Plus One Is Enough and
