Reid Fleming, World’s Toughest Milkman

    (Eclipse, 1980, 1986-1998)
™ and ©1980, 1996 by David Boswell
#7-8 published by Deep Sea

First published in 1980, Reid Fleming is a long-running cult hit lasting almost two decades with less than a dozen issues to its credit. The star is an ornery milkman who delights in dumping milk in customers’ fish tanks and drinking on the job. His real joy, however, comes from battling his boss, Mr. Crabbe. The ornery Fleming crashes milk trucks with alarming frequency, assaults everyone in sight, and manages to stay employed only through the use of blackmail and other dirty tricks.

It’s tempting to compare Reid to Pete the P.O.’d Postal Worker, since both are case studies in labor relations gone wrong. But Pete actually likes his job—any homicides he may commit while doing it are purely incidental.
