There is one new comic on Married to the Sea daily. According to the site, it updates at midnight EST, "without exception." The comics themselves are collages of black-and-white Victorian lithographs, to which speech bubbles or captions are added, using historically-accurate typefaces. The overall appearance suggests that the illustrations might have been turn-of-the-century newspaper comics. As of the 29/7/2007 the webcomic has a middle America style from the 1950s. However, frequent mentions of current events, as well as modern technologies or concepts, make it easily apparent that the comic itself is being written in the present day.

The subject matter on Married to the Sea seems to draw from all spheres - popular music and entertainment, science, history, government, politics, and philosophy. The intentions of the characters are frequently ambiguous, and their actions and words are the polar opposite from the opinions expressed in actual Victorian-era America.

On July 28-30, 2007, the comic and Web site layout featured a 70s theme.
