Momma Mia!
Momma -- I haven't seen Momma since back when I'd visit my grandmother in Tennessee. So, it was in the Nashville paper in the '80s at least. I don't know where it is now, but I am going to get to the bottom of Momma!
The only thing I really remember is that Momma and her children don't get along. Huh. So the strip is called Momma, but the main character is apparently not a very good Momma, or she doesn't like being one. It would be like having a comic called Hubby where Scott Peterson was the main character. Except, as far as I know, Momma hasn't killed anyone. But we'll see.
Some of it is starting to come back: If I recall, Momma either gives bad gifts, or her children give her bad gifts. There's definitely a cheap-o involved somehow. Don't worry; I'll get it figured out.
HA HA HA! Family tragedy! My goal for the next several posts will be to find out whose fault this bad mother-child relationship is. This strip would lead you to believe it's the kids' fault. See, Momma is seeking counseling for this problem, so it's obvious it concerns her. Also, notice she's crying, so thinking about her miserable children (I think that's the 3 of them sitting to the right of the Family Counselor certificate) upsets her.
Then again, the children have made the effort to join their mother for family counseling. Then, she announces to the whole waiting room that they mistreat and neglect their mother. They look a little embarrased. If she regularly airs the family dirty laundry in public, then that's probably why they don't like her!
Look at all the hats! Does this strip take place in the 1940's? Aren't men supposed to take off their hats indoors?

Very good choice of comics! Yes, men should remove their hats indoors, but judging by the facial features of the people, they should probably keep it donned. I always cringe when I see both eyes on the side of the face. One of the family members seems to have an infected tooth, or some lipoma on the side of the face. It's very disturbing. It would seem none of them have heard of a comb as well...
