...hero Johnny is a frustrated young cube dweller, disillusioned with his fledgling accounting career. "He did what everyone said he was supposed to do," writes Pink. "He's begun to suspect that everyone was wrong." Enter Diana, a comely sprite who doles out zenlike job advice ("Think strengths, not weaknesses. Persistence trumps talent. Make excellent mistakes") along with manga magic in this witty Japanese-style graphic novel. She convinces Johnny that following his true creative passion is the secret to workplace success.

He's not one to put on silly hats; his physical disabilities limit his capacity to engage in bowling photo ops. His shtick is substance, the endless access granted to reporters on his bus. The problem for McCain, and the opportunity for Democrats, is that his positions are either unpopular or sketchy.
