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."

He had a Bright Idea in the Shower "Light Bulb’ over head, it;s akin to tossing Plugged in Toaster in the tub when someone is taking a bath

This is one of the stupidest comics I’ve ever seen. Not at all funny or even slightly interesting. Can’t wait for it to stop showing up in my email feed.

No, it’s one of the SMARTEST comics you’ve ever seen. It’s VERY funny and HIGHLY interesting, and you CAN wait to stop receiving it by e-mail. You see now?
Hope this helps!

Then you, sir, are an idiot. I am not one who swears, therefore I shall deal with this in an appropriate manner: please, if you have rude comments, keep them to yourself.
