Mamma

Mell Lazarus' Mamma is a long-running newspaper-style comic strip published by Semic Press, debuting in 1974 and continuing to the present day. Written and drawn solely by Lazarus, the series centers on the sharp-tongued, no-nonsense matriarch of a suburban family, offering a humorous take on domestic life and generational clashes. Its enduring appeal lies in Lazarus's consistent, single-creator vision and the relatable, often biting wit that has kept the strip in syndication for decades.
