Freshly Squeezed was an American comic strip, written and illustrated by Ed Stein, also the cartoonist of Denver Square comic strip for the Denver Rocky Mountain News. It began in 2010, chronicling the life of an inter-generational family which has united after the economic collapse, and ended in October, 2014.

Contents

Concept

After the economic collapse, the number of multi-generational families is on the rise, with over 49 million Americans living in such families (as of 2008). Freshly Squeezed is relevant to this topic and on the humor exchanged between these inter-generational family members.

Influences

The comic is in a way a sequel to the Denver Square. Most of the characters are directly taken from there. However, Ed Stein has restyled them.

The main inspiration for him to start Freshly squeezed was the rising tide of multi-generational families.

Main characters

Liz and Sam are the main couple of this cartoon. Nate, is their pre-teen son who loves the fact that his grandparents are moving in to his house. Sarah is the grandmother of Nate and the mother of Liz. She is described as strong willed woman who is never ready to accept that her daughter can do things rightly. Grandpa Irv is a Korean War veteran, who loves watching TV programs and spoiling his own grandson Nate.

Syndication

Freshly Squeezed is syndicated by United Features Syndicate. It started running on September 20, 2010 on the syndicate's website, comics.com.

Ending

On Sunday, October 19, 2014, Freshly Squeezed ended. "Well, I’ve decided to quit drawing Freshly Squeezed; After 36 years of meeting daily deadlines it’s time to do something on my own schedule.” noted Ed Stein, creator of the strip. He has now begun working on a new project called Sleeper Ave, while Freshly Squeezed continues in re-runs on GoComics.com.
