Manor Threat , Ben Snakepit's latest collection of daily diary comics, takes place in the town of Manor, a suburb of Austin, Texas. Ben buys a house with his wife and adjusts to slow-paced country living. He also turns 40 and gets a new job, and then gets another job. Along the way, every day without fail, he draws a three-panel comic describing each day's events. Against that steady march of time, patterns emerge and shift and the result is a meditative, addictive read that captures the humanity of everyday life.
