Marbleton

The seemingly-fictional town of Marbleton is located in Kansas, within the United States.

The town is itself steadily in decline, owing to the loss of its major employer (a packaging plant) a few years before the strip starts. This led to significant job losses and to people moving away. Few major employers are mentioned, although it is apparent that arable farming is likely a major industry (notably the production of wheat ).
