Bruna Martini's Comic Series Explores Pregnancy with Humor
Italian cartoonist Bruna Martini has launched a new comic series titled "L'Avventura – Come nasce un genitore" that humorously depicts pregnancy and early parenthood. The series aims to fill a gap in comics, illustration, and comedy, where pregnancy is rarely addressed. Martini draws on her own experience and interviews with others to create vignettes that debunk myths and stereotypes about pregnancy, offering a lighthearted and educational perspective. The comics are published weekly on Artribune, covering topics such as fetal positioning, cravings, mood swings, and baby clothing color disputes. Martini cites influences from Sarah Andersen and Silvia Ziche. Three sample comics—"La forma," "Le voglie," and "Concerti"—are currently available online. The series is planned to be compiled into a single volume.
