Editorial Reviews: Product Description "Any parent can understand why Darryl and Wanda MacPherson can't decide whether to hug Zoe and Hammie to pieces or turn them into pieces in some less loving way. . . . Kirkman and Scott are virtuosi of the world of child-rearing." --Infodad.com 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." This colorful treasury, Driving Under the Influence of Children, not only contains over 240 pages of award-winning Baby Blues comic strips, but also contains Baby Blues stickers, including a bumper sticker that should be affixed to nearly every minivan on the road.

Customer Reviews: Relatively new to the strip March 27, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful I have read Baby Blues on and off in the local paper for the past several years. Having not received the paper on a regular basis has prevented me from sticking with it consistently. However, I have historically enjoyed it when I read and decided to start picking up the treasuries to play a bit of a game of catch-up. They weren't all readily available and I'm a bit of a stickler for reading in some degree of order. As a result, I started with the first of the series that I could readily find. As expected, it was very entertaining and made brought an audible chuckle on more than one occasion. Thoroughly enjoyable. I would happily recommend. Next up for me: Framed - Baby Blues Treasury Another Smash Hit March 20, 2006 1 out of 1 found this review helpful I have all the Baby Blues books, and this one is the best of the treasuries. I loved it. Very very cute March 8, 2006 Great book. You should buy it if you want to have a good laugh! Humorous look at real family life August 30, 2005 1 out of 1 found this review helpful As a parent of four grown sons, I found this a very entertaining and accurate view of the 26 child rearing years I spent at home with my sons. So I bought this book for my son and his wife who are raising twins, a boy and a girl. The bumper sticker in the back of the book is a nice bonus: "Driving under the influence of children" How true!!!! Highly recommended, not to mention just plain funny July 4, 2005 8 out of 8 found this review helpful Driving Under The Influence Of Children is the latest compiled treasury of "Baby Blues" comic strips, collecting the daily struggles of two parents and the three precocious young children who exist to exhaust their resources, wallets, and supply of clean clothes. Parents everywhere are sure to see their own experiences reflected in the good-natured humor of the stay-at-home "I prefer to think of it as twenty-five years of maternity leave" mother and well-meaning father with noticeably less stamina around babies at maximum volume ("How come when you look after the kids it's 'parenting' but when I look after the kids it's 'not working'?" asks the beleagured mother). Baby Blues remains a gem among comic strips, both in that its characters are permitted to age with the passage of time, and in that it remains as fresh, funny, and all-too-insightful of the human condition as it was in its inception. Highly recommended, not to mention just plain funny.
