This graphic novel collects comics drawn between 1989 and 2004 about the author's stint as a Mosquito Abatement Man in Illinois and Colorado. It's a quirky topic, but the end result is insightful, particularly where he decided to leave the job he's done for five years.
A very quick, but engrossing, read.

Interesting graphic novel. Porcellino matures over the course of the book, and so do his drawing skills. He starts out an enthusiastic mosquito killer and ends a soberer, more thoughtful person.
