Our hero in this tale is a floundering, useless, recent college graduate who lives with Mommy and Daddy. He fills his days with bowling, cynicism, goofing with his buddies, and aspiring to be an author. Unemployed and frustrated, he unwittingly becomes the owner and operator of a dog poop scooping business. Transformed into the worst superhero imaginable, the Poo Man confronts many adversaries as he practices his trade, but the main villain whom he must overcome is himself. Through and on-line dating service he meets the woman of his dreams. They inspire each other to transform their lives, which they do in a comic-tragic turn of events. Along the way, the Poo Man and his buddies provide laughs and insights into the world of the marginal man, that creature who inhabits the gap between teenage mindlessness and the responsible seriousness of manhood.
