MAMA'S BOYZ follows the lives of the Pauline Porter and her two teenage sons Tyrell and Yusuf. Other characters include Pauline's brother Greg and their parents.

The strip is currently syndicated weekly by King Features Syndicate as part of its Weekly Service, which is a collection of comic strips and columns that is sent to more than 1,500 newspapers and magazines around the world. Mama's Boyz is also available through self-syndication. Click here for more details.

The Mama's Boyz characters also act as official spokescharacters of the American Diabetes Association's African-American Program. For more information please see my diabetes section.

In addition to the weekly comic strip, Mama's Boyz can be seen in their own book, shirts, mugs, books such as "Chicken Soup For the African-American Soul", and many other websites.

RUN MAMA'S BOYZ IN YOUR PUBLICATION

Here's how it works: Mama's Boyz is available on a weekly basis. Each week (Tuesday) a new strip will be emailed to you in either MAC or PC format. They are available in black and white only, and will always be 6.675 inches wide. You may enlarge them or reduce them, but please do not cut them about and restack them. The strips are sent out a month in advance, so you'll receive a comic about July 4th around the first week of June.

The fee is per month, not per strip, so if you are a weekly paper you can run a strip in each issue while monthly papers can run all 4 strips in the same issue.

Here's an endorsement from a few of my clients:

Mama's Boyz has been a real hit in our paper with a cross section of our readers. We even had one of out advertisers (Dentist Office) request to place an ad on the same page as Mama's Boyz. The Dentist wanted to reach children and their parents.

Mama's Boyz is one of the best comic strips drawn today. It promotes traditional values, black culture and the family humorously. The strip always makes one smile and laugh. We at the Charlottesville/Albemarle have received many compliments and it has been a welcome addition for our younger readers. Our paper is used in some area schools and children of color relate well to the characters (grown-ups love it too).

As an African-American publication, we appreciate the positive images portrayed in the strip and would recommend it highly to any publication that is interested in diversity, as well as, the inclusion of a very good comic strip.

Mama's Boyz was the first comic we selected to build our comics page when developing the Sunday edition of the paper. The comic's look at the generational differences offers insight for parents and children.
