Mike and Mabel Motley's Community
Mike and Mabel Motley were home owners during the course of the entire comic strip. They lived in the suburbs of an industrial city somewhere within the lower 48 states of the U.S.. While Mabel did the housework (cooking, cleaning, washing dishes), Mike did all the yard work (raking leaves, cutting the grass, etc.) Even though Mike and Mabel Motley decided that only Mike needed to earn income for the household, Mike and Mabel Motley attempted to keep up with the times and with the changing needs of Middle America to their best of their ability.
