Close to Home

Close to Home, a daily single-panel comic strip from Andrews McMeel, has been running since 1994, offering a gentle, observational take on modern suburban life. Created by cartoonist John McPherson, the strip is best known for its deadpan humor and relatable, often absurd situations involving family, home improvement, and the everyday mishaps of middle-class existence. Its long-running presence in newspapers and collections has made it a quietly beloved staple of the funny pages.
