# Strawberry Shortcake’s New Comic is Deliciously Fun

**Strawberry Shortcake** and the gang have graced us with their presence on the pages of a comic book before, but this new series is even cuter and more mysterious than the last! (And some of the variant covers are **SCENTED**, of course!)

The new **Strawberry Shortcake** comic series from** [IDW](https://www.yayomg.com/tag/idw/)** kicks off with a two-parter that follows **Strawberry** and the gang through a baking competition that isn’t quite what it seems to be. While **Strawberry** and her friends help the **Berrykins** redesign their nursery, **Berry Bloom** tries to give a tractor ride to the baby **Berrykins** on a super old tractor. Unfortunately, things go horribly wrong and the tractor gives out and explodes, ruining all the fun. In order to help out in their time of need, **Strawberry** and the gang put together the **Baby Berrykins Baking Challenge** to help raise money for the new ride. The winner of the competition gets to move on to **Big Apple City**, where they’ll compete for an even bigger and better award, and unknowingly face off against **Steve Piemanne** – aka – **The Purple Pie Man**, one of the most nefarious **Strawberry Shortcake** villains!

Since it’s a two parter, this story will kick off in **Issue #1** (which is out today) and wrap up in **Issue #2** (Out in May). Once that story is completed, **Issue #3** (June) picks up with a brand new story, with **Strawberry** and **Orange Blossom** putting on their detective caps, trying to figure out what’s going on with the mysterious salesman who’s trying to get **Strawberry** to overhaul her cafe. These new** Strawberry Shortcake** comics are all the super sweet fun and friendship you’re used to as a fan of the series, paired with fantastic humor and lots of mystery, twists, and turns! (And of course, all your favorite characters back such as **Lemon Meringue** as the town hairstylist, **Sweet and Sour Grapes** with their fantastic food truck, **Apple Dumpling** with her travel blog, **Orange Blossom**, who manages the general store, and more.) The series is off to such a great start, and we can’t wait to see what’s next!
