<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Publication">Publication</h2></div>

Syndicated by <a href="United_Media" title="United Media">United Media</a>, 9 Chickweed Lane debuted on Monday, July 12, 1993,<a href="#cite_note-first-2">[2]</a> though comics historian <a href="Don_Markstein" class="mw-redirect" title="Don Markstein">Don Markstein</a> notes that some sources erroneously give August 2, 1993.<a href="#cite_note-Markstein-3">[3]</a>

McEldowney's comic strip primarily focuses on the relationships between its multigenerational female characters, beginning with a single mother, Juliette, and her teen-aged daughter, Edda. Although he did not originally intend to have the characters age, they have done so, though not at real-time.<a href="#cite_note-Harris-4">[4]</a>

The comic has dealt with a number of difficult issues including pregnancy out of wedlock, a <a href="School_shooting" title="School shooting">school shooting</a>, and the impact of sexuality on religious vocations. It has been criticized for addressing such topics, to the point of being removed from some newspapers. It has been both acclaimed and criticized for its "libidinous hot-plot lines" and the enthusiastic sexuality of its characters.<a href="#cite_note-Cavna-5">[5]</a> In a column entitled The Unbearable Horniness of 9 Chickweed Lane, critic <a href="Nathan_Rabin" title="Nathan Rabin">Nathan Rabin</a> criticized the strip's recurring sexual themes, writing "It feels like the only 'gag' in 9 Chickweed Lane is how unbelievably horny all the characters are for each other." Rabin is also critical of the strip's "intellectual pretensions" and McEldowney's "unspeakably pretentious, self-satisfied, endlessly masturbatory" content.<a href="#cite_note-6">[6]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Design">Design</h2></div>

9 Chickweed Lane was originally drawn by hand in black and white. Around 1995, McEldowney moved to digitally-based production, using his computer as a drawing tool.<a href="#cite_note-Harris-4">[4]</a> The comic eventually introduced color at the publisher's insistence.<a href="#cite_note-Tompkins-7">[7]</a>

McEldowney trained as a musician<a href="#cite_note-Harris-4">[4]</a> and incorporates dance and music into his drawings: several of his characters are dancers, singers, or musicians. One reviewer writes "Dance strips or strips involving just hands, hands hold hands, arms moving, legs moving, are gorgeous and dynamic."<a href="#cite_note-Coke-8">[8]</a>

Another comments on the <a href="Zen" title="Zen">Zen</a>-like slowness of McEldowney's sequences, describing his work as lingering on the page, as he often draws out the action across multiple days.<a href="#cite_note-Duy-9">[9]</a> Even reviewers who dislike the comic for other reasons have applauded its design qualities:<a href="#cite_note-Coke-8">[8]</a>

Originally, the animal characters in the strip consisted of a whippet named Rudyard, succeeding a greyhound named Divot, and a spot-eyed cat, Ambrose.

<li>Monty – <a href="God" title="God">God</a> in the form of a bald man wearing a suit or else a delusional man who has convinced Thorax that he is indeed God; a test of Monty's powers made him appear to be embarrassed at his inability to pull off even a minor task.</li>

<li>Hugh Portwhistle Godalming - a British pianist at Juilliard and Xiulan's husband. Accomplished as a <a href="Child_prodigy" title="Child prodigy">child prodigy</a> at the piano with a large ego (he once irritated the Pope after a performance for him when he mistook him for a school janitor), his first encounter with Xiulan was mostly confrontational when accidentally kicked her cello case without apology until he was forced to become her accompanist for her student audition when Edda was a no-show. At first very antagonistic with a lot of sexual tension between them, their relationship blossomed into love after a very passionate Brahms duet and were engaged after only three days of meeting each other. Usually wears a heavy overcoat as an alter-ego persona as Sherlock Beethoven (an <a href="Portmanteau" class="mw-redirect" title="Portmanteau">portmanteau</a> of <a href="Sherlock_Holmes" title="Sherlock Holmes">Sherlock Holmes</a> and <a href="Ludwig_van_Beethoven" title="Ludwig van Beethoven">Ludwig van Beethoven</a>).

After meeting his assigned assistant Nan-Lin Peel began an awkward courtship (which included auditioning and performing together for a stage production of <a href="Gilbert_and_Sullivan" title="Gilbert and Sullivan">Gilbert and Sullivan</a>’s <a href="The_Yeomen_of_the_Guard" title="The Yeomen of the Guard">The Yeomen of The Guard</a>), he finally professed his love for her despite his self-deprecating insecurities and age and later married her.</li>

<li>Nan-Lin Peel - a Korean-American woman in her 30s and Arthur's wife. Originally was hired by Xiulan to be an assistant to manage Arthur Peel (and partly as a joke since they both share the same surname), she became the inspiration behind his erotically-charged “Reverie” and, after a quick if complicatedly frustrating courtship, became his wife despite their age differences.</li>

<li>Esme Meadow - A policewoman who is romantically interested in Thorax.<a href="#cite_note-Aug3-56">[56]</a> He claims to be married to her.<a href="#cite_note-Sep30-21">[21]</a></li>

<li>Alistair Godalming - The son of Xiulan Yuan and Hugh Godalming, featured mostly in storylines set in the future. A shy and awkward young man raised by musicians to be a concert pianist.<a href="#cite_note-65">[65]</a> While early strips claim he is 16,<a href="#cite_note-66">[66]</a> it is later clarified that he is actually 19, his mother "adding a couple extra fifth birthdays to his age."<a href="#cite_note-67">[67]</a> He is engaged to Lolly van Hoesen, having asked her to marry him when he turns 20.<a href="#cite_note-68">[68]</a></li></ul>

On December 1, 2021, a strip including an anti-Asian slur resulted in GoComics pulling that day's strip.<a href="#cite_note-dailycartoonist.com-75">[75]</a> It was part of a series set during World War II, when the Japanese fighter plane <a href="Mitsubishi_A6M_Zero" title="Mitsubishi A6M Zero">Mitsubishi A6M Zero</a> was often called a "Jap Zero" in contemporary usage. In more modern times, the term "Jap" has become considered a racial slur. On December 9, The Los Angeles Times announced that they were removing the strip after receiving "hundreds of letters" from readers. In their statement, they stated "Our decision was based not on one offensive comic but on an evaluation of the strip overall, and more broadly an evaluation of our entire comic catalog."<a href="#cite_note-76">[76]</a> GoComics did not publish the strip for December 1, nor for December 3 in which the term "queer" was used as a verb, meaning to spoil.<a href="#cite_note-dailycartoonist.com-75">[75]</a>
