Home and Away (comic strip)

Home and Away is a comic strip written and drawn by Steve Sicula. He created it around age 40, after four or five other comic strips were rejected by publishers. It began in 2003 and was syndicated nationally by the Washington Post Writers Group.

The strip is about the Szwyk family. Sam (the father) is a telecommuter who is also in charge of many of the household chores, which he does with varying degrees of success. Sandy (the mother) is a successful saleswoman who is always on the go and trying to balance her personal and professional lives. Their two children, Karen and Timmy, are just as busy as their parents and, for better or worse, have picked up their parents' habits.

The comic strip ceased publication in August 2015.
