  <default-description>Toothpaste for Dinner offers a sarcastic but honest portrayal of modern existence. The characters, barely more than stick figures, provide a blank slate on which readers can impose their own experiences and frustrations. Everyone has a coworker who regales them with tales of weekend drunkenness, or swings by their cubicle every day with an insipid joke. We want to tell our boss that nobody cares about the antics of her craaaazy cats, or that despite his idea that he's the &quot;office clown,&quot; everyone hates the IT guy. We never say these things aloud, but we want to. And the indignities of modern life go well beyond the office. We all know the frustration of standing in line behind someone having a much-too-personal mobile-phone conversation, or the problem of deciding whether an article of clothing is ironically hip or just plain stupid. But then there's Drew, in his internet fiefdom, saying the things we can't, pondering the confusing, annoying and just plain weird, and making us feel a bit less alone.</default-description>
