With the strip focusing on teenage life, the main setting is the Covina High School. The main cast includes the supposedly ordinary student Harold Teen, his lovely girlfriend Lillums Lovewell, his dwarf-like sidekick Alec "Shadow" Smart, and the soda shop proprietor Pop Jenks who is locally famous for Gedunk sundaes. A recurring subplot of the strip was that Harold had a so-called "communication gap" with his parents, who did not understand that he had cultural tastes and problems which were different than their own. —Dimos I
