Married to the Sea is a webcomic by husband and wife Drew and Natalie Dee. Each also has a personal webcomic project: Drew (who is never credited with a last name) is the author of Toothpaste for Dinner, while Natalie Dee produces the comic entitled Natalie Dee.
New Married to the Sea comics are published online daily. The site claims that it updates at midnight EST, "without exception." The comics are collages of black-and-white clip-art illustrations, to which speech bubbles or captions are added.
Until July 28th of 2007, the images were Victorian lithographs from Dover clip-art collections. The images were originally compiled by Dover from late-19th-Century advertisements and magazine illustrations.
As of July 29th, 2007, the webcomic began using clip-art images from 1950s-era American advertising; however, the collage-with-captions visual conceit, and the style of writing, have remained the same.
The subject matter of the comics varies widely. Frequently the jokes are commentary on modern society and technology, but just as frequently the characters seem to be contemporaneous with the historical era portrayed in the illustration (though the dialogue still reflects modern-day slang and cadences of speech). The comics are also often sexual or scatological. Common topics range from popular music and entertainment, to science, history, politics, and philosophy.
The first Married to the Sea comic was posted online on February 13, 2006. The site now sells several t-shirts and prints based on individual comics.
