Synopsis

The nationally syndicated comic strip, Pajama Diaries, details the personal life of Jill Kaplan, a contemporary working mom trying to juggle it all-work life, family life, and sex life (or lack thereof)-without going completely bonkers. The characters age in real time so readers can enjoy and relate to each new challenge that awaits Jill and her family. It contains all-time favorite full-color daily and Sunday strips. Multitasking families everywhere will certainly see themselves in this funny, contemporary cartoon.

About this title

About the Author:

Terri Libenson is a cartoonist and a long-time humorous card writer and illustrator for American Greetings. She developed her first professional comic strip, Got A Life, in 2000, which was distributed by King Features Weekly Service. The Pajama Diaries was launched with King Features in 2006 and runs in newspapers throughout the country and abroad. Like her character, Jill, she manages to juggle several jobs and a family while maintaining (most of) her sanity. She lives in Cleveland, Ohio.

Review:

"Thanks a lot, Terri. I thought I had blocked it out of my memory. The homework debates, the sibling rivalries, the yelling, the frustration... the bug-eyed, sleep-deprived, over-extended working-mother-of-preteens years. But every morning when I read The Pajama Diaries it all comes back with technicolor clarity. Except... somehow you make it all sound so funny. I highly recommend this book and a nice bottle of Shiraz to moms everywhere. It’s way better than therapy. Cheaper too."
--Sandra Bell-Lundy, “Between Friends”

"Terri’s decision to depict herself, unabashed, to the world in her comic strip is courageous enough. To depict her family in that light, too, is just nuts. Brilliantly nuts."
--Rick Kirkman, Co-creator of "Baby Blues"

"What do you do when your kids have driven you to drink but it’s officially too early for a glass of Pinot Grigio? Grab Pajama Diaries. It’s you, but wittier."
--Hilary Price, “Rhymes With Orange”
