The Norm (comic strip)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Norm is a comic strip by Michael Jantze. It ran in newspapers, syndicated by King Features Syndicate, from 1996-2004. In 2004, Jantze took the strip out of syndication to develop it as an online comic strip and television series. Book collections and comic books are in print [1] in English, Spanish and Swedish. The web site of the comic also contains a free archive of available comic strips with Norm's daily blog [2].

The comic focuses on Norm, an advertising designer, and his wife Reine, a high-powered businesswoman. It deals with love, life, work and technology. The style is surreal modern, with Norm narrating his everyday life as if you were one of his friends.

Jantze has since revealed in online interviews that the Norm character was based on a high-school neighbor named, appropriately, Phil "Norm" Kollin. ^[1]
