Terry and Patty LaBan are the husband-and-wife team behind "Edge"" City"-a smart, insightful cartoon chronicling the mile-a-minute lives of the Jewish-American Ardin family. With two kids, two careers, two cats, and several computers, the Ardin family epitomizes our decentralized, high-tech world where everything is literally a click away-everything but the time to enjoy a peaceful moment. The first book collection of "Edge City" introduces readers to husband, father, weekend rocker, and busy courier service owner Len and his constantly self-improving wife Abby, whose titles include professional therapist, mom to children Colin and Carly, and daughter to active older adults Morris and Edna. "Edge"" City" is nationally syndicated to papers ranging from the "Chicago Sun-Times" and the "Philadelphia Inquirer" to the "Seattle Post-Intelligencer" and "Houston Chronicle". Terry and Patty LaBan collaborate on "Edge"" City". Terry illustrates the strip and shares character and plot development equally with Patty, a licensed social worker and family therapist. The LaBans live in Philadelphia, Penn. See less
