BABY BLUES COLLECTION TP SURVIVING GREAT INDOORS

(W) Rick Kirkman (A) Jerry Scott (CA) Jerry Scott

The zaniest and most-relatable newspaper comic about parenting life is back with a brand-new collection. Baby Blues transcends the comic page by fusing the award-winning imaginations of Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott with familiar family life. Kirkman and Scott intuitively balance the humorous with the poignant through relatable and sometimes all-too-familiar parenting scenes. This latest collection includes a year's worth of strips, many with commentary by Jerry and Rick.

DILBERT TP DILBERT TURNS 30

(W) Scott Adams (A) Scott Adams (CA) Scott Adams

As fresh a look at the inanity of office life as it brought to the comics pages when it first appeared in 1989, this new Dilbert collection comically confirms to the working public that we all really know what's going on. Our devices might be more sophisticated, our software and apps might be more plentiful, but when it gets down to interactions between the worker bees and the clueless in-controls, discontent and sarcasm rule, as only Dilbert can proclaim.

FOWL LANGUAGE TP WINGING IT

(W) Brian Gordon (A) Brian Gordon (CA) Brian Gordon

Everyone's favorite parenting cartoon featuring ducks presents a comprehensive view of the early parenting years in all of their maddening cuteness and sanity-depriving chaos. The new collection will include fifty comics that have appeared on the website and will feature fifty never-before-seen cartoons. Fowl Language: Winging It is organized into 10 thematic chapters-including Babies: Oh Dear God, What Have We Done?; Pooping: Get Your S*** Together; and Holidays: Magic Traditions and Tragic Overeating-each of which begins with a hilarious, illustrated 500-word essay.

(W) Jim Toomey (A) Jim Toomey (CA) Jim Toomey

Sherman's Lagoon is a fantasy place situated somewhere in the tropics. It's inhabited by a motley crew of sea creatures whose marine lives suspiciously mirror our own. Through his comic strip, cartoonist Jim Toomey explores many of the issues that we face daily in our world on dry land. His characters attempt new business ventures, go on disastrous dates, try fad diets, and read the latest bestselling books.

ZITS TREASURY TP NOT SPARKING JOY

(W) Jim Borgman (A) Jerry Scott (CA) Jerry Scott

He daydreams about the day when his band, Goat Cheese Pizza, records their first monster hit single and they all pile into his van for their cross-country, sold-out concert tour. Between naps, study hall, and band practice, Jeremy still manages to find time to be the star of the hugely popular comic strip Zits.
