I'm enjoying your works on cartoonists. I'm from the "old school" or "silver age" when men like Carmen Infantino, Gil Kane, Murphy Anderson and others come to work in shirts and ties and never screamed about their rights. I wanted to be a writer like Gardner Fox or John Broome. I wanted to work for Julius Schwartz. But God had other plans for me.

I hate to admit it that I've never read Baby Blues. My cartoon reading days have long since past. Once an avid reader, I can't say that I've read any in years. But I always enjoyed them. Thanks for sharing.

I did not read it much. You do research well. How about Doonesbury, Cathy, Maxine( the guy had 5 sisters I believe), there are so many to do you will be busy the rest of your life! Good work here. Karen

This is an interesting article about Baby Blues. Hammie is my favorite character as he behaves a lot like one of my kids who has just become a father at 33. He was a creative as Hammie and generally as messy.

I remember the show on Adult Swim. I also enjoyed Bob and Margaret. But Baby Blues was an awesome cartoon. Very excited about Family Circus. Gretchen

The writer and illustrator have been in a lot of magazines. I am impressed. Baby Blues had bare naked ladies sing their theme song when it was on television. I love that band and the title of their band is hilarious! So is the title of the comic strip Baby Blues.
Thanks for sharing this series of comic strips that made a lasting impression.
Jesse

Hi Brett, I've never heard about this series, Baby Blues. But then again I didn't grow up in the US. You present it so very well, that I do wish I knew it. All best, Ulla:)))

This is excellent work. Your presentation is very good. You use expressive words and colorful imagery that readers will enjoy. I enjoyed reviewing this. I've never heard of Baby Blues, until now. Was it in the US?

Best wishes,

Alex

I don't know how I missed "Baby Blues" when it had so much publicity, but I sure did. It makes me wonder how on earth I did, but I somehow managed it. I guess when it came out, I was in college and then a bad marriage. When it came out syndicated, I was in Germany. I can't wait for "Family Circus". I was a huge fan of it.
