"mcDuffies: is a comic that blends classic webcomic daily strip approach with action and science fiction, sometimes even surreal fantasy. It bares a lot of similarity with | "College Roomies From Hell" which is not a coincidence, as author is a fan of that comic.
"mcDuffies" is about a stuff of the title junk fast food restaurant. Daily activities of these people include, along with preparing food and serving customers, fighting giant rats and crooked politicians.
It is implied that this is not the only fast food restaurant that deals with such problems and that, instead, fast food restaurants regularly serve as some sort of secret police.
