About Family Tree

Modern family life is a bigger challenge than saving the planet.

Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist Signe Wilkinson brings her unique style and famous irreverence to the comics with Family Tree, a sophisticated contemporary family comedy. Ames, Maggie, Twig and Teddy Tree are living green – but modern family life could prove to be a bigger challenge than saving the planet. Tackling everything from shopaholic teens to the real differences between girls and boys, Family Tree is a groundbreaking family comedy that draws on Wilkinson’s wit (and her years of close personal experience with teenagers).

Wilkinson is one of contemporary America’s few women cartoonists and she was the first woman to win the Pulitzer for editorial cartooning, in 1992. Wilkinson values her intensely unremarkable family life, which is marked by her interest in growing outdoor lilies, killing indoor orchids, finding an easy way to match her husband’s socks and trying to figure out why Paris Hilton is famous.
