BABY SC

Originally created between 2019-2021 and now collected in a complete edition by Breakdown Press, Baby is Patrick Kyle's hilarious, compassionate odyssey on what it (could, possibly) mean to grow up. We follow the titular "Baby" as they progress through oblivious juvenility, rebellious adolescence and finally whatevercomesnext. I can be incredibly picky when it comes to comics that claim to be funny, but I've read and re-opened Baby a number of times this year and there's always a panel or an expression that gets me all over again. It's an extremely accessible comic and also incredibly quotable, both of which I can attest to after recommending it to my occasionally-comic-reading partner and hearing "If I were still a baby I could be free" when I tell her it's bedtime.
