With its tortured perspective, gritty realism, and outlandish urban humor, Derf’s The City has kept an outsider’s beat on current events, trends and out-there aspects of contemporary culture since 1990. Whether depicting the coarse insanity of modern urban life or the ultra-clean realm of the feature’s only recurring character - White Middle Class Suburban Man - Derf uses dissonant humor to speak up for what he calls "the common schlub."

Tigger, no rake. Rakes are for the poor.

PSchearer: as I understand it, Derf is criticizing members of the middle class who are complacent about the status quo even when it makes their lives worse. He also appears to be against the relentless materialism of some in the middle class, especially when it undermines their well-being in other ways (the current cartoon being a case in point).

Apparently the word repair isn’t in his vocab either.
