The Neighbors John Persons Comics «LEGIT ◎»

John Persons (a name he chose from a motivational poster in a DMV waiting room) is a paradox. By day, he wears beige khakis, listens to smooth jazz at a reasonable volume, and waters his petunias with metronomic precision. He has the posture of a flamingo, a face that looks perpetually concerned about coupon expiration dates, and a handshake that feels like holding a dead fish.
