About Moose And Molly
Moose and Molly chronicles the misadventures of a lazy, out-of-work, out-of-shape loafer and life with his wife, children and multitude of pets. Moose can never seem to hold a job for more than a day, despite constant goading from his wife, Molly.
Moose and Molly started its newspaper run with King Features in 1965 as Moose Miller. The strip’s exaggerated comic style attracted a lot of fans and readers nationwide. Weber changed the name to Moose and Molly in 1998 as Molly’s character developed into a more central figure.
