The Adventures of Ordinary Man!

Faster than a receding mullet, more powerful than an ulterior motive, able to leap tall buildings in a single leap of the imagination, or with the purchase of an overpriced plane ticket. Look-down on the page! It's Ordinary Man! On the surface Ordinary Man's adventures seem like mundane stuff: he drives to work, counts his farts, shovels snow, checks his watch, and gets things done on time. (Can you imagine?) But in these 52 serio-comic snippets of interior adventure-sometimes philosophical, often absurd-Ordinary Man wields his powers to perform incredible-dare we say "extraordinary"?-feats of heroism. What are these powers? Mainly a sense of humor, an acute self-awareness, and a brain full of literary references. Watch as he considers the path of the hero and the nature of his quest, explains what literature is for, contemplates an egg in a cage, and finds an arrow in his eye. Learns compassion, gets his thoughts in order, and vows to transform into Betterperson. Miraculously-accepts his lot in life! Yes, The Adventures of Ordinary Man! is for the true superheroes, the mild-mannered Clark Kents of the world who against all odds make it through each day.
