Baby 2000

"After my checkup, I have to order more ink and paper, go shopping, clean the house…"

The diary of a woman who becomes pregnant without the father's consent, Baby 2000 gives a raw, grotesque –in short, gutsy– portrait of delivery and the first months of having an infant. This memoir is the first comic book by underground artist Caroline Sury, co-founder of indie publisher Le Dernier Cri. Swinging between euphoria and anxiety, it accurately depicts parenthood with Sury's chaotic, bristling drawing style. Baby 2000 is rooted in everyday life, where the new apartment needs renovations and nurses watch soccer while their patient is in labor.
