The Chosen Family was a Canadian comic strip, written and drawn by cartoonist Noreen Stevens. The strip, which first appeared in 1988, was based on Stevens' own life, revolving around a lesbian couple named Weed and Kenneth-Marie. Minor characters included the couple's friends Puddin' Head (a stereotypical Gay man) and Straight Chick, and their two children, a daughter named Rosebud and a son whose name was never given. Stevens retired the strip in 2004.
