Baby Blues

In the late 1990s, German publisher Achterbahn brought the beloved American newspaper strip Baby Blues to a comic series format, collecting Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott's warm, chaotic look at new parenthood. Running for nine issues from 1998 to 2002, these comics follow the MacPherson family through the exhausting, hilarious, and tender moments of raising young children. While the strip itself became a modern classic of family humor, this Achterbahn series offered German readers a compact, lovingly presented introduction to the trials of sleep deprivation, diaper changes, and the small joys that make it all worthwhile.
