After a night of alcohol-fueled shenanigans and a morning in County Jail, overweight cynic Howard McKay is sentenced to serve Òsomething like two thousand hoursÓ of community service. The catch? Howie is to don a fluorescent yellow costume and carry out his sentence fighting crime as Portly Boy.
Along with his self-appointed sidekick, The Drunkard, Portly Boy roams the streets of New York CityÑgoing everywhere from strip clubs to retail electronic storesÑdoing his best to avoid crime and trying not to help anyone in need of help.
The Adventures of Portly Boy is the hilarious story of HowieÕs antics, told through a series of blog entries he writes on his buddyÕs website.
