One More and We Re Outnumbered!: Baby Blues Scrapbook No. 8

Winner of the 1995 Best Comic Strip award by the National Cartoonist's Society, Baby Blues endearingly portrays the hassles and joys of parenting, following the exploits of well-intentioned young parents Darryl and Wanda, as they raise toddler Zoe and newborn Hamish. n nTheir life is hectic, filled with terrible twos, teething, and temper tantrums . . . but Darryl and Wanda wouldn't have it any other way n nSince 1990, the MacPhersons have staked their engaging claim on the comics page with their realistically wild-eyed and worn-down reaction to parenting. We watched as Wanda gave up her job to be a stay-at-home mom, wondered how the couple would handle countless sleepless nights, and laughed when they unexpectedly found themselves expecting. Now, as Zoe grows into a walking, talking toddler and newborn Hamish learns how to roll over, the couple's pride, joy, and exhaustion reaches even greater heights.n nWinners of the National Cartoonists Society's Best Comic Strip of the Year for 1995, Baby Blues creators Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott continue to entertain readers around the worlds. If there's one service that we provide, it's to let parents know that they're not alone, says Kirkman. I think it's comforting for readers to know that no matter how unmanageable life can get for them, Darryl and Wanda probably have it worse, adds Scott.n nOne More and We're Outnumbered follows parenthood classics such as I saw Elvis in My Ultrasound, Guess Who Didnt Take a Nap? and I Thought Labor Ended When the Baby Was Born. Through them all, endearing illustrations and dead-on dialogue provoke laughs of recognition and keep fans clamoring for more.n n
