A new collection of cartoon strips from the first lady of humor, the author of more than a dozen books in her native France and in many other countries. "Mothers" lampoons all stages of pregnancy, childbirth, and parenthood - including the amply lampoonable contributions of fathers. The result is yet another masterly stage in Bretecher's comic chronicles of human behavior.
