Some adults wistfully wonder what became of the imaginary friends of their childhood. Not Darin. His are sitting on the couch, too-constant companions sharing every strange moment of his cheerfully frustrated life. There's Dewey the Dinosaur, with heart of gold and head of fluff, and Clovis, the Teddy Bear With Serious Anger Issues (and some very bad habits). An unemployed 30-year-old graphic designer, Darin lives in his father's basement, which he also shares with the enigmatic Robert the Plant.

Imagine This is not a feel-good comic strip. When your main character is a sad-sack dude and his best friend is a psychotic teddy bear, you're going to have fun, but it's not going to be pretty. The cute drawings and the irreverent humor are an odd-couple pairing that just feels right. The excellent writing and unusual storylines make this a must-read.
