The Nolans
A newspaper style comic strip, The Nolans featured a family of four and delved into the humor of day to day life. The comic often interspersed stand alone gag strips between more involved storylines, giving the characters more depth and development as the strip went on. The father of the family, Steve, is a professor at a local college, and is also hopelessly inept when it comes to household chores such as fixing a sink or hanging Christmas lights. His wife, Patty, is a college drop-out who has settled down, but a bit of her wild younger days tends to slip out every now and then. Josh, the son, strives to stand out in school and among his friends. The daughters, Sarah, can't help but stand out, as her hyperactive personality gets her into plenty of trouble.

The Nolans ran online from 2006 to 2016, when it went into hiatus. It is currently being shopped to comic syndicates, and more recent strips can be found on Tapas.
