The Newlyweds and Their Baby

George McManus's long-running comic strip for the New York World, debuting in 1907, follows the domestic adventures of a young married couple adjusting to life with their new baby. Though it ultimately ran for decades, its initial single-issue format captures the era's gentle humor about family life. McManus, both writer and artist, is the sole creative force behind this warm, pioneering slice-of-life strip.
