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."

The fact that commie clover has commented lately must mean that he thinks these hot dog comics are hysterical.

Has he commented recently? I’ve missed it if he has. Personally, I think he got flagged too many times and they kicked him out. Good riddance, I say! Much more enjoyable without the rudeness.

re: the occasional troll, everyone is welcome here and if Jesus can love you, I can at least try. I may not have the number of fans of other comics but I’ve got the smartest. Otherwise you wouldn’t get the jokes! Happy weekend. -ML
