History

Committed was first published in 1994, and was drawn and written by former Houston Post editorial cartoonist Michael Fry. The strip centered on a family composed of Liz and Joe Larsen, daughters Tracy and Zelda, and their dog, Bob. It took a single-panel format in dailies, and a typical multi-panel format on Sundays. The comic's humor was based on the two working parents and their trying to raise children.[1] One year after the strip began, Fry began a second strip, Over the Hedge, with T. Lewis.

Committed was adapted into an animated television series, also entitled Committed. This aired on Canadian channel CTV[2] and American channel WE tv.

Fry ended Committed on February 19, 2006, stating that he was "creatively done with it". At the end of its run, Committed ran in only forty-five newspapers.[3]
