Liz and Sam have it all: a happy marriage, a precocious preteen son named Nate, and a house that's just the right size for the three of them. Then, Liz's parents move in. Grandpa Irv is a kindly but occasionally grumpy Korean War vet who loves watching TV, bickering over politics, and spoiling his grandson. His wife Sarah is equally strong-willed, whether urging Irv to diet, questioning her daughter's parenting choices, or finding surprising success as an advice blogger.
With an estimated 50+ million Americans living in such families as of today, Freshly Squeezed is a refreshing look at newfound family togetherness after the economic collapse. Can three generations of one family share their lives, their feelings, their dwindling fortunes and a bathroom — and keep their sense of humor in the process? Pay a visit to the Freshly Squeezed family to find out! Freshly Squeezed is the brainchild of Ed Stein, an award-winning political cartoonist. He created the local comic strip, Denver Square, for the Denver Rocky Mountain News for 12 years. He lived the Freshly Squeezed life first-hand when his kids were little and his 80-year-old father moved to Denver.

Yes it is growing isolation amongst us. Longer distance electronic communication while removing themselves more and more from direct human-to-human contact. They are isolated and yet don’t recognize it yet.

This is hardly a new phenomenon. Before phones/tablets it was a magazine or a book to read. Same issue, different medium.

There have been strips with family members setting next to one another texting instead of using verbal communication

Probably a good thing since it could help with not spreading germs if you have something contagious.

@jkstill
Actually it is a new phenomenon. People weren’t writing letters to each other instead of commiserating directly. So you are incorrect here.
