Uncle Andy’s BLT Baby

Quick, you don’t know anything about this comic yet (unless you’ve read it already, obviously; this is for the people coming in new). Do you think this comic is about a baby who likes BLTs or do you think this is a comic about a baby who is part of a BLT? Just me for that last one? Ugh, that probably doesn’t say anything good about me. This one actually starts off a little smaller, as it’s all about a cranky baby who won’t eat their tomatoes. Many attempts are made (although I would have given up when the old standard of tomato soup and grilled cheese didn’t work), a professional chef is even consulted, but nothing prevents the baby from throwing a tantrum and tossing the tomato-based attempt on the ground. As for what it is that finally breaks through, it’s somewhere between difficult and impossible to spoil such a thing when it’s right there in the title. It’s a cute little story, but I may be burying the lead here, as it’s also a fold-out comic. No, not one of those comics that makes you wonder if you’re reading things in the correct order, this one just folds out into a giant maze in case you want to help the baby find the lost tomatoes (now that she loves tomatoes). This naturally made me wonder about the author, and it turns out that these fold-out comics are kind of A.T. Pratt’s thing; he has all kinds of them on his website, some with some truly impressively complex designs. If you’re a fan of those types of comics I’d suggest checking out a pile of his comics, if you’re only a fan of angry babies I’d suggest giving this one a shot. Yes, I’m afraid that you’re required to fall into one of those two categories. $5
