How Come I Always Get Blamed for the Things I Do?: A Pickles Collection

In this single-issue collection from Baobab Press (2010), Brian Crane's beloved Pickles strip gets a focused, laugh-out-loud look at the daily chaos of family life—especially the kind that lands squarely on the shoulders of its hapless dog, Muffin. The book gathers a selection of the warm, gently absurd Sunday and daily comics that made the strip a staple of newspapers, centered on the eternal question of who gets blamed for the mess. It's a tidy, affectionate sampler of Crane's signature humor: a world where grandparents, pets, and the generational divide collide with a knowing, soft-hearted smile.
