Recommended if you like: humorous and heartfelt observations about the weirdness and wonder of being a new parent

There's something isolating about being a new parent, even for those lucky enough to have friends or family members going through the same experience at roughly the same time. The demands an infant puts on your time, attention and emotions can feel all-consuming, and even with the support of your partner, you're often awake for hours holding your newborn and asking yourself how it's possible that your life changed so suddenly and dramatically. On the other hand, having a kid is heart-expanding and can be tons of fun. So it's with great excitement that I began reading the comic strip "Molebashed" on GoComics - it felt like (retroactively) having a companion during those first few weeks of weirdness and wonder.

An largely autobiographical strip by cartoonist Wes Molebash, this thrice-weekly feature begins with the journey to the hospital and continues from there, with sharp artwork, wry observations on being a parent and - to my mind - incredibly true-to-life observations about the supreme comedy of raising a human (the pull-out chair thing in the strip above is identical to the one I spent two nights on in April 2012). It's also been remarkable to me how quickly the rituals of child-raising can become routine, but with a keen sense of awareness and humor about the situation, I have a feeling the Molebashes' journey will be anything but boring. Read the whole thing from the start right here on GoComics.
