Edison Lee

Edison Lee is an extremely smart ten-year-old boy. His is obsessed with US politics and creates many inventions which directly relate to the current state of affairs in the US.

Don Lee

Don is Edison’s father. While he seems flumuxed at times about Edison's musings, he does put his son down firmly when he comes to him with unlikely demands.

Carol Lee

Carol is Edison's mother. She is an educator and is the stable member of the family, constantly agreeing with the statements her son makes.

Orville Lee

Orville is Edison’s paternal grandfather. He is retired and loves to eat junk food and watch TV. Any mention of healthy food and good health in general falls on deaf years.

Joules

Joules is Edison’s lab assistant, a talking rat. He only appears when Edison is conjuring up a new invention, board game, or scheme in his laboratory.

tyle

The strip is drawn in great detail and appears in colour. Items like computers, cars, and other props required in a cartoon strip are presented as close to reality as possible. While much of the characters lives revolve inside their house, they are frequently shown outside. Gazing at the heavens in a few strips, travelling into the woods, shopping at a mall, buying medicines at a pharmacy and visiting the doctor. The 20 November 2007 strip had a reference to the Wikipedia. (See Wikipedia in culture)

There is little serialisation as in strips like Retail or Sherman's Lagoon where the story runs for a week or more. Here the story generally runs on a day to day basis only.

The daily strip usually runs to four panels, with three panels appearing on some occasions. The Sunday strip is a two tiered format with a large logo panel appearing on the left of the strip.
