Book Description

"Let's name the Baby Lexus! It's gender-neutral... It's unique... Plus, people will be really impressed! "There go the MacPhersons," they'll say, "They have a Lexus!"" When Jerry Scott and Rick Kirkman put their heads together comedy springs forth like a baby out of bath water. This cartooning duo delights readers with I Saw Elvis in My Ultrasound. I Saw Elvis... documents the day-to-day challenges Wanda and Darryl MacPherson face as they juggle the demands of raising adorable Zoe with getting ready for Bundle of Joy No. 2. The older, and somewhat wiser couple think they've got this kid business under control, only to find a whole new set of parenting problems on their hands. Potty-training becomes "potty pleading", Wanda concludes that she's not just pregnant, she's "abdominally challenged", and Darryl admits that what he really sees in the ultrasound screen is... Elvis.

Book Description

Baby Blues makes life with children seem funny, even when they smear peanut butter on the walls and give the baby a makeover with Mom's cosmetics. Says writer Jerry Scott, "As long as kids keep having runny noses and wiping them on the drapes, we're in business." Our Server is Down: Baby Blues Scrapbook #20 captures the perils and pratfalls of raising young children in suburbia. Daryl and Wanda MacPherson are a couple in their mid-thirties struggling to juggle work and three kids with hectic schedules-and maintain their sanity. Zoe, the talkative eldest, is seven and more worldly than ever. Hammie is the newly anointed (by the recent birth of baby Wren) middle child. At age five, he's a willing student for Zoe and a virtual Velcro board for blame. Wren is the newest addition to the MacPherson clan-so far, all giggles and sunshine . . . with a few clouds on the horizon. Parents worldwide have delighted in this slice-of-life comic since its debut in 1990.
