Yes, I am an artist. Yes, I live in Silicon Valley only minutes away from Cupertino, CA. No. I do not use a Mac…I didn’t drink the Kool-aid. I realize there are a fair amount of my readers who live and breath by their Apple computers. I realize that Apple users can sometimes be a [...]
I’m late. I know. I’m sorry. But considering how much work I have on my plate right now you should be very happy you get a comic strip this week. You’re so lucky. So special. I must really care about you. Almost as much as my collection of Chili’s coasters. But nowhere near as much [...]
Have you ever had one of those jobs that punished you for being efficient? Have you ever worked in a place that stifled your passions and your skill? I have. Once upon a time I had a job (yes, I know that comes as a surprise to many of you). And I was pretty darn [...]
Alright. I’ve had it. You’ve had it. There’s one in every workplace. This needs to be addressed. What is up with these people?? Seriously. Some of them are always hot. Some of them are always cold. C’mon people, this isn’t Goldilocks and the Three Bears. You don’t get to dictate to the rest of us the thermostat. [...]
I think we’ve all had a “work crush” or two. I’ve certainly had my share. There was the classy blond with the dimples who used to come in to my work sometimes. I bet she had no idea I used to dress extra nice on the days she showed up. Or that her dimples had [...]
A big thanks to HUGE Raccoon Toons fan, Stuart Trappe for this week’s fan art. Stuart is a great supporter of the website and comes up with some pretty cool comic strip ideas too! Thanks Stuart!!
Oh silly office politics… I never understood this particular unspoken code of office etiquette. If you’re done with your work, then go home. GO HOME. Do it. Do it now. I don’t care who looks at you funny. I don’t care if your coworkers see you leaving early and decide to plot against you from this [...]
Muffin top. Spare tire. Sausage roll. Sometimes, when I’m sitting at my desk working, I can actually feel myself getting fatter. I can see my gut growing in slow motion. Laughing at me. Mocking me. Taunting me like a rabid monkey. I hate you desk job. I hate you and your fat-inducing ways. I hate [...]
I always hate it when the boss comes in to observe you working. I mean c’mon…I’m there, I’m getting it done, I’m doing a good job. But when the boss comes in and starts looking over your shoulder or stands at the back of the room and observes, it’s a little nerve racking. You start [...]
You know what? Your system IS dumb. I’m a little sick of it. I went to grade school. I went to Junior High and High School. I was told I NEEDED to go to college because you just can’t make a decent living without a college degree. So I went to college. And when I [...]
