Professional friends and roommates extraordinaire, Rufus Jones & Anonymous Boy tackle the every-day grind in a world of elegant monsters, grungy inventors, benevolent stoners, generic pirates, mad scientists, bustling wastelands, rollercoaster highways, candy creatures, evil robots, runaway trains, lines so long they lead to the future, grumpy uncles, giant insects, unfair taxes, skeletal secretaries, fantasy knives, elegant animal-people, unorthodox explosions, sentient numbers, speedy pizzas, angry planets, exiled cheeseburgers, titanous elementals, Draculas, apocalyptic catastrophes, cats who write novels, romantic urges, surrealist politics, wandering skyscrapers, haunted race cars, intergalactic Gods, and sub-par renting conditions.
But the real adventure begins when Rufus and the citizens of Unacceptaville begin to realize that they not only understand, but cherish everything Anonymous Boy has told them, despite him having never spoken a single word.
He just showed up one day.
