Summary "Mike Flannery On Duty and Off" by Ellis Parker Butler is a humorous novel written in the early 20th century. This book explores the life of Mike Flannery, an express agent who navigates various comedic situations in his job, often involving quirky characters and absurd circumstances. The narrative is filled with satire and wit as it details the daily dealings and misadventures of Flannery and his interactions with customers, co-workers, and various drama surrounding a dead cat. The storyline unfolds around Mike Flannery, who is tasked with dealing with the shipping and handling of various items, including a particularly troublesome dead Angora cat that becomes the centerpiece of a series of misunderstandings with his employers and clients. Flannery struggles between following company protocols and his common sense, leading to comedic confrontations with others, such as his lazy assistant, Timmy, and a French professor who educates fleas. The mishaps and Flannery's unique perspective showcase an entertaining commentary on the absurdities of bureaucracy, the challenges of the working class, and Flannery's ultimate quest for dignity in his profession amid persistent chaos.
