About the Author

Dealing with parasites for many years in advertising inspired Michael Blaney to create a cartoon based on a lower life form called "The Fly Chronicles". Centered around a fly family, the Goopsuckers, Blaneys' brand of humor is not just funny, it's smart funny. Born, raised and educated in Los Angeles, Blaney isn't leaving LA any time soon, finding the west coast cities vapid lifestyle excellent source material.

OMG, what a delight to find a comic book cleaver and smart. The characters are creative and beautifully drawn. My kids love it too. Thanks for the laughs.

I picked this book up at a local comic store after flipping through because the art intrigued me but with no real expectations. After being able to spend a little more time with the book I found that I'd stumbled upon something really great. Mike Blaney really has a great sense of humor and an imagination like no other. I find myself frquently calling over a family member or co-worker while looking through the book to share the laughs.

Finally, comic humor that is clever and funny! I am so tired of tasteless and boring comic strips. Fly Chronicles will have you chuckling before you even open the book. This is great to have in your house to entertain your guests (both in the living room and bathrooms)! I wish newspapers would carry Fly Chronicles instead of the usual boring fare - then they might actually find their circulations rise! With the holiday season coming, this is a great gift idea!
