""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...

Their life is hectic, filled with terrible twos, teething, and temper tantrums . . . but Darryl and Wanda wouldn't have it any other way

Since 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...

What makes "FoxTrot" such a refreshing jolt of humor? Maybe because it seems to be written by an ingenious kid who's looking for a few good ways to get into trouble. Maybe someone just like Jason Fox himself

In fact, cartoonist Bill Amend has perfectly captured the adolescent sensibility in his cartoon strip "FoxTrot." Portraying the family-oriented adventures of one wild suburban household, Amend addresses situations kids encounter-both serious and fanciful-with a deftly on-target, humorous touch.

In "Come Closer, Roger, There's a Mosquito on Your Nose," the Fox family is in full...

Stay-At-Home parents have an ally in Adam, who struggles to raise three kids, keep the place clean, get office work done, and get on-line as often as possible

Adam and Laura had everything worked out. Each morning, Laura left for her high-paying executive career while Adam stayed home in his sweats to take care of the kids, Clayton, Katy, and Baby Nick. It was the good life for Adam: mornings with morning TV, hours spent cruising the Internet, episodes of Barney with Nick, and a few brief trips during the day for a double tall nonfat mocha or a meeting of his books-made-into-movies...

Mutts explores the special bond between animals and their guardians, and the endearing friendship of Earl, the dog, and Mooch, the cat. It strikes a delicate balance between joy, fun and responsible social commentary. Mutts has been recognized for its distinctive style, heartwarming humor and compassionate advocacy for animal issues.

Fitting in. Being different. Growing up. Staying a kid.Zits is a comic strip about the funniest, most painfully emotionally charged, physically demanding, mentally challenging, and colorful times of our lives-adolescence. Those who are living it can relate. And those who have been through it cannot remember the time without smiling, or at least wincing at the arrogance and ignorance we all mistook as maturity during those few eternal years.

Zits: Sketchbook #1 is an inside look at life from the point of view of Jeremy, a private 15-year-old who is desperately hacking...

"With bodacious wit, in just a few panels, each day Aaron serves up--and sends up--life in America through the eyes of two African-American kids who are full of attitude, intelligence, and rebellion. Each time I read the strip, I laugh--and I wonder how long The Boondocks can get away with the things it says. And how on earth can the most truthful thing in the newspaper be the comics?"
