Barbaraal

Barbaraal is a warmly humorous Dutch comic series created by Barbara Stok, launched in 1994 and running for four issues. It follows the everyday life and small adventures of its young, red-haired protagonist, Barbaraal, with a light, observational tone that captures the awkwardness and charm of navigating friendships, art, and early adulthood. Stok’s simple, expressive linework and slice-of-life storytelling make this an intimate, quietly influential work in European autobiographical comics.
