This is seriously one of the best, funniest, cleverest things I've read in ages. Beautifully drawn in a classic comic book style The Adventures of Unemployed Man deftly dissects the American dream and demonstrates how the economic playing field has been tilted in favour of the already-wealthy, via the adventures of Unemployed Man, his sidekick Plan B and a host of other
heroes as they take on villains such as The Outsourcerer, The Broker and the Just Us League. It's like Paul Krugman wrote a comic.
Give it to someone for Christmas.
