At 40, cartoonist Paco Roca has finally achieved his childhood dream --
to spend all day at home in his pajamas! However, his blissful,
loungewear-clad reverie is beset with a host of mundane problems: He
dreads small talk with "the world's biggest bore," but his excuses and
white lies are finally catching up with him. When good friends breaks
up, taking either side could lead to social disaster. The simple mission
to change his train ticket descends into an impossibly complicated,
Kafkaesque affair. And worst of all, his partner keeps hanging the
toilet paper roll the wrong way!
In the vein of sitcoms like Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm,
Roca's comic vignettes brilliantly satirize the pesky pitfalls of
modern-day life. Like most of us, Roca's alter ego just wants to be
liked and to do the right thing, but finds that through crippling
indecision, cowardly behavior, and the absurd machinations of the
universe, he is usually thwarted. The ensuing situations he finds
himself embroiled in are as hilarious as they are often painfully
relatable.
