Meet Jill -- wife, mom, and in-home graphic designer. The strip chronicles her life with a mix of journalized thoughts and dialog. It is a personal account of a woman trying to do it all . . . juggle work life, family life, and sex life (or lack thereof) without going completely bonkers. The Pajama Diaries tackles subjects that range from everyday silliness to social commentary. It is a sounding board for modern, multi-tasking women and their families. Oh, and the characters grow older like we do, so the material will always stay updated (at least for the cartoonist). |

Jill Kaplan Independent and introspective, this young mom and freelance graphic designer balances work, family, and everything in between. Maintaining her own identity is important to Jill, so she records her thoughts in a day-by-day account. Memories, gossip, and even marital intimacy are all revealed in Jill's blog. |
Rob Kaplan Reliable and logical, Rob is the ying to Jill's yang (or is it the other way around?). This easy-going guy doesn't always pick up on Jill's predicaments, but his desire to help is steadfast. As Jill's husband and best friend, Rob both balances and challenges Jill's outlook. |

Perfectville The Kaplan's neighbors who live across the street. An updated version of the 1950's nuclear family (think June Cleaver with a cell phone), Jill often tries to emulate their lifestyle. |
