Okay, so I'm not unemployed. I'm busy as all hell. But that mostly involves staying at home, looking after the kids and writing Bleeding Cool. Either way it means I'm close enough to Dustin, eponymous star of a new syndicated comic strip about an unemployed fellow living with his parents, a lawyer and a fashionista. and while his sister is a driven achiever, Dustin… isn't. Hilarious.

By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker, clearly this is a strip that has found the zeitgeist, syndicated from today in sixty newspapers across the US and available online for, you know, the kind of unemployed people who can't afford newspapers.
