About

Sub­ur­ban­Wife is a middle-aged mother of two.  Her job is to do what­ever needs to be done or, at times, what­ever she feels like doing.

Ignatz is the son.  Some­times referred to as Fat Boy.  He is nei­ther stu­pid nor fat; in fact, he’s a tall, skinny borderline-brilliant, quirky ado­les­cent.  His job is to grow up and become a func­tional, con­tribut­ing mem­ber of society.

Sugar Doll is the daugh­ter.  She is sweet and pretty, though not always.  Often she’s a big ol’ pain in Sub­ur­ban­Wife’s back end.  Her job is to keep her par­ents guess­ing and teach them patience.

My Love is the hus­band.  Some­times referred to as The Dork.  His job is to love Sub­ur­ban­Wife uncon­di­tion­ally and vocif­er­ously and to pro­vide the means and the manna nec­es­sary to raise his prog­eny, Ignatz and Sugar Doll.
