''Odd Jobs'' is a darkly comedic webcomic written and illustrated by Chicago-based cartoonist Tim Broderick. Having graduated with a journalism degree from Eastern Illinois University, Broderick was one of the many artists who made a name for himself during the comics' "black and white explosion" during the mid-80s. It was during this period that he developed a story titled ''Riot 57'', the first comic to feature his David Diangelo character. After the movement died out, however, Broderick set his story aside to become not only a husband but a father as well. And in the late-'90s, minor tragedy struck, when a flood destroyed the entirety of his artwork, ''Riot 57'' included; he had nothing to show for his years of development. Down but not out, Tim used the support of his family to develop a series for the web. In May 2000, ''Lost Child'' became the first officially-published Odd Jobs volume, quickly gaining a loyal following and critical attention. The next two installments -- ''Something to Build Upon'' and ''Cash & Carry''—were met similarly.〔(About Tim Broderick ) Accessed 7 April 2009.〕 Part social commentary, part film noir, the webseries centers around David Diangelo, a young man who accepts odd temp jobs to better his life in what he calls "the new economy." However, as in all crime novels/television shows/movies, the protagonist rediscovers in every volume that even a simple errand does not go according to plan. Broderick currently continues work on the fourth Odd Jobs graphic novel, entitled ''Children of the Revolution''. ==Awards==
