Mike du Jour is, according to Lester, the rare triple entendre: the main character's name, the artist's own name and an honest description of the strip. "Like the freedom of a chef designing a menu every day based on what's fresh, MDJ is whatever fresh idea I can cook up," he says.
Mike (the character) is an autobiographical composite. He's "a combination of Walter Mitty, Buster Keaton and moi. He's single, a bit of a loner and a situational counterpuncher, heavyweight division," Lester adds. Mike works in a generic office environment known as Big Bottom Line Inc., and since he and his co-workers don't have enough problems, they invent them. "Office work is boring," says Lester, "or so they tell me."

So easy to criticise so hard to do. If you don’t like it, bin it.

So, comi clover, shouldn’t you be pulling the wings off of flies, beating up a freshman, or some other behavior typical of your ilk?

If you respond to a Troll it will keep coming back to the same place for more until the folks at GoComics have to put it down
