Married to the Sea is a webcomic by husband and wife Drew and Natalie Dee. Each has a personal webcomic project: Drew (who is known simply as Drew) is also the author of Toothpaste for Dinner and Natalie Dee produces NatalieDee.com.

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 fonts. The overall appearance suggests that the illustrations might have been turn-of-the-century newspaper comics. 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 intents of the characters are frequently ambiguous, and their actions and words are the polar opposite from the opinions expressed in actual Victorian-era America.

The first Married to the Sea comic was posted online on February 13, 2006. The site now sells several t-shirts based on comics from Married to the Sea. It updates daily.
