by Kevin Bartelme

In a comic romp through New York, Bartelme chronicles the hilarious escapades and misadventures of a pair of tile setters, Robert O’Rourke and his assistant Maurice, as they ply their trade everywhere from the sewer to the penthouse. As craftsmen, they are obliged to maintain certain standards but their clients keep getting in the way with loony designs, goofy histrionics, and plain bad taste, which O’Rourke and his assistant must suffer gladly. At least until the check clears. O’Rourke is nonstop farce with an edge and should delight anyone with a sense of humor. “Hilarious ! “ — Taylor Mead Kevin Bartelme lives in New York City and for various reasons wants as little known about his life or whereabouts as possible.
