You Can't Say Boobs on Sunday: The Second Collection of the Syndicated Cartoon Stone Soup, Vol. 2
One of the first questions that syndicated cartoonists are asked, besides "Where do you get your ideas?" is "Does anyone ever try to censor you?"

You Can't Say Boobs on Sunday is the second collection of the internationally syndicated cartoon Stone Soup, a funny, irreverent, sympathetic comic strip read by 6 million people every day. This 192 page collection is the second in the series, and covers about 2 years of Eliot's work. Telling the story of a non-traditional household - two single moms who are also sisters, their collective children, their mother, and their yappy little dog - the humor in You Can't Say Boobs on Sunday is of the all too real, "you must be a fly on my wall!" variety. The cast of characters includes Val, a 30-something professional who supports her two daughters, Holly 13, and Alix, 9; her under-employed sister Joan; Joan's two-year-old Max; as well as Val and Joan's fairly opinionated mother, who lives upstairs. Wally, the ultimate nice-guy-next-door who has a crush on Joan, rounds out the cast. This collection also contains biographical material on both Eliot and her characters.
