More Info About Edge City: A Comic Strip Collection by Terry and Patty LaBan
Edge City is the first cartoon to feature the Ardins, a Jewish family maneuvering to balance relationships and tradition with dual careers, overbooked kids, long commutes, and pervasive high-tech gadgetry. The Ardins are a hip Jewish-American family leading mile-a-minute lives with two kids, two careers, two cats, and several computers. This family epitomizes our decentralized, high-tech world where everything is literally a click away-everything but the time to enjoy a peaceful moment.
The first book collection of Edge City introduces readers to husband, father, weekend rocker, and busy courier service owner Len and his constantly self-improving wife Abby, whose titles include professional therapist, mom to children Colin and Carly, and daughter to active older adults Morris and Edna. Edge City is nationally syndicated to papers ranging from the Chicago Sun-Times and the Philadelphia Inquirer to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer and Houston Chronicle.

Len Ardin is the co-owner of a courier service, and Abby is a therapist. Their children, Colin and Carly, are both elementary school students. . Dwelling in the far reaches of suburbia, Len and Abby lead a life very different from the one they lived growing up. Terry LaBan offered this description of the strip: Edge City is a daily comic strip internationally syndicated by King Features, that satirizes modern family life through the eyes of a post-Baby Boomer, Jewish-American family. It concentrates on the relationship between Abby, a therapist in private practice, and Len, an aging urban hipster who co-owns a delivery service and plays in a weekend rock band, as they juggle the pressures of running their careers and dealing with their two kids, Colin, ten, and Carly, eight. There are also a number of peripheral characters, like Rajiv, Len's Indian-American partner, and Abby's parents. The strip generally takes the form of simple stories that last about two weeks and explore some kind of issue or incident, like Abby having insomnia or Len joining a Led Zeppelin cover band.
