Baby Blues

Baby Blues is an American comic strip created and produced by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott since January 7, 1990. Distributed by King Features Syndicate since 1995, the strip focuses on the MacPherson family and specifically on the raising of the three MacPherson children.

When the strip debuted, the MacPherson family consisted of Wanda and Darryl MacPherson and newborn Zoe. The first strip took place in the hospital room shortly after Zoe was born. Later, two more children—Hammie, the middle child and the only son, and Wren, the youngest child—were added to the family. Both Kirkman and Scott have drawn from their own parenting experiences as a source for the strip's content.

Characters and story

The strip features three families, according to the strip's "Family Tree" page.

Main family (MacPhersons)

  • Darryl MacPherson: The father. A manager by profession, he is sometimes unaware of his wife's exhausted state. In various strips, Zoe, Wren and Hammie wait to meet him right when he gets home from work. In some strips, he appears to dislike "The Whistling Monkey Cowboy Band". One example is while Wren is obsessed with the merchandise, Wanda states that Bill Murray and Robin Williams have recently finished working on a "Whistling Monkey Cowboy Band" movie whereupon Darryl retreats to the roof. He also tends to swear when accidentally injuring himself or frustrated. He also tends to make mistakes, such as in Wren's ultrasound, he mistakes her for a boy. He has a big nose which he got from his dad and orange hair which he got from his mom. He is possibly an only child because they never said anything in the comic that he has siblings.
  • Baby Blues (U.S. TV series)

    Baby Blues is an animated television series, based on the Baby Blues comic strip by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott, produced by Warner Bros.. The first eight episodes of Baby Blues originally aired in the United States on The WB Television Network from July 28, 2000 until August 24, 2000, before the series cancellation. Five then-unaired episodes were later aired on Adult Swim in 2002. A season consisting of thirteen episodes was produced but never aired.

    The animated adaptation of Baby Blues differs from the comic by having it take place when Zoe was still an infant, even though she was the older sister to Hammie in the strip at the time. In addition, it focuses on Darryl and Wanda's relationship with supporting characters created for this series, including the Bittermans (a dysfunctional next-door family with three children), Bizzy (Zoe's babysitter), and Kenny (Darryl's laid-back close friend and co-worker).

    Production

    Warner Bros. Animation has produced eight of the 13 aired episodes, with overseas animation done by Varga Studio in Hungary for five of them (including the pilot), and Sunwoo Entertainment in Korea for the three others. Rough Draft Studios in Los Angeles did five episodes, which include "Bizzy Moves In", "Rodney Has Two Daddies", "Hurtin' Inside", "Ugly Zoe", and "Wanda Moves Up".

    Baby Blues

    by: Low Life

    I've known a couple girls
    Maybe one or two or eighty-four
    And if I never slept I would've known a whole lot more
    Forget all of them when I met the girl next door
    It's love for sure
    It's my time to cross that line
    Where's my baby blue?
    She made me sell my Trans-Am
    And settle my tab at Scores
    Return my new silk sheets, give my love doll to the poor
    I'll take her everywhere, even take her when I tour
    Cause she's no whore
    It's my time to cross that line
    Where's my baby blue?
    I had a lot of common senseI
    I guess it all came and went
    She makes me have accidents
    I haven't been the same man since
    And I was walking home with my new friend
    She said close your eyes and count to ten
    And if i never look back again
    I'll meet you where the sidewalk ends
    I called up all my fellow pimps
    And told them that I lost my limp
    And I'm turning in my wings
    So it's true that I kissed her lips
    And I woke up in a haze
    Of blue love
    Now my wings are clipped
    So sorry girls, I can't explore
    Here she comes, my girl, say hey what you got in store?
    I think your hair looks nice
    Can I do you through the doggy door?
    You'll bark for more
    It's my time to cross that line
    Wheres my baby?
    I won't tell on you
    I had alot of common sense
    I guess it all came and went
    She makes me have accidents
    I haven't been the same man since
    And I was walking home with my new friend
    She said close your eyes and count to ten
    And if I never look back again
    I'll meet you where the sidewalk ends
    I called up all my fellow pimps
    And told them that I lost my limp
    And I'm turning in my wings
    So it's true that I kissed her lips
    And Iwoke up
    In a haze...
    No more yesterdays
    A red rose is bound to fade
    So baby, show me them baby blues
    We were late for work that day
    So I begged for her to stay
    Said baby, show me them baby blues
    Her eyes put me in a daze
    On a ship in outer space
    Said baby, show me them baby blues
    And you were kind that day
    When you called me out to play
    I said baby, show me them baby blues
    You were kind that day
    When you called me out to play
    Said baby, show me them baby blues
    No more yesterdays
    A red rose is bound to fade
    Said baby, show me them baby blues
    You were late for work that day
    But I begged for you to stay
    I said baby, show me them baby blues, baby
    I said baby (baby), baby (baby)
    Baby (baby), baby (baby)
    Show me them baby blues
    You were kind that day
    When you called me out to play
    Said baby, show me them baby blues
    No more yesterdays, a red rose is bound to fade
    Said baby
