I Thought Labor Ended When the Baby Was Born by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott, 128 pages

Who can resist adorably wide-eyed Zoe MacPherson? Certainly not her parents, Wanda and Darryl, a mid-thirties career couple who've become first-time mommy and daddy. Like the millions of new parents who read the Baby Blues syndicated comic strip, the MacPhersons find parenthood more rewarding - and frustrating - than they'd ever expected. "I Thought Labor Ended When The Baby Was Born" is the fourth heartwarming collection from creators Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott. Developed in 1990 after Kirkman became a neophyte dad, Baby Blues appeals to anyone who's witnessed the eye-opening experiences only a baby can bring. Moms relate to Wanda, a former mid-level career woman who now stays home full-time to care for the mostly adorable Zoe. Dads connect with rattled-but-determined Darryl, as he still staggers off to the office each day despite the mind-boggling changes that baby has wrought at home.
