Maintenance

    (Oni, 2006–2008)
™ and © 2006 Jim Massey & Robbi Rodriguez

The life of a maintenance worker is a thankless one. On a daily basis, you’re forced to clean up someone else’s mess. And then there’s the life of a maintenance worker for a secret laboratory whose scientists work on highly experimental research projects, and that life is considerably worse. A pair of sad sacks named Doug and Manny have that particular lot, so each day they encounter other-dimensional aliens, human-animal hybrids, and other undesirables while keeping things clean. Small wonder they’ve reached a point where nothing they see fazes them too greatly.

There’s a distinctive Laurel and Hardy feel to this title, as the characters at its center press on despite increasingly bizarre circumstances. Written and drawn with good humor by Jim Massey and Robbi Rodriguez.
