The world's first (and only?) Cyberfolkpunk graphic novel.
Junction Jones is an escaped bio-engineered laborer manufactured with the sole purpose of being worked to death in the seedy underbelly of Junction City, the opulent vacation nexus between Time, Space, and Reality. Unfortunately, he was created with one fatal flaw: Sentience.
To avoid being recycled or executed for the charge of lethargy, Jones scrapes out a living as a Private Investigator with his partner Mister Niblets, a 5th dimensional entity stuck in the wee body of a junkyard cat. Together, they illegally locate and salvage illicit organic matter that fall through gaps of reality and end up rotting in slummy alley ways. That is, until they are given an anonymous tip leading them to the remains of a rare (?!) Earth hobo too hot to handle. To make matters worse, an army of undercover Junction Agents are there too - to cover up the dead body.
From maniacal carnies to untrustworthy oogles to bloodthirsty bounty hunters, from time-travel money laundering schemes to planet-sized gambling debts, the part-time private investigator and his fuzzy friend will have to survive the worst the multi-dimensional slums of Junction City has to throw at them, if they are to unravel the train-hopping mystery and live to tell the tale.

An itinerant punk & former hobo, he's scratched out poems high in the mountains of the North Cascades, on California's rocky coast and under pink desert skies over the Rio Grande, he might have left a few behind to mark his trail.
