- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

I have eight different bosses.
Nothing compares to slow rot and decay of the office. Every day your body slowly grows more decrepit, more out of form. Fingers bending to natural shapes, knuckles becoming knobbed and fingers thin. The slow click clack of the keyboard and shuffle of paper lulling your mind into a soft slumber you dare not take. Your back aches, but you know it’s your fault for not keeping good posture, surely it’s not related to spending god knows how many hours sitting in the same exact spot. Your legs feel numb. What how long have you been here exactly? How many hours has it been? Surely your shift is over now sure the clocks is wrong? The calendar too? Bill from accounting comes to your desk pulling your mind away from this terrifying thought. more office chatter, can’t he see your busy? You have so much work to do, wait, what is it you do again? You’ve been here so long but you still can’t really tell what it is they want you to do. You pretend as long as you can. Papers in papers out, emails read and responded, forms filled. When people ask what you do you give them some vague important sounding title and try to change the subject. How long have you been here…?
yeah i'd freak out too if i had to go from naked all the time except for my crown to business casual office attire.
Never thought about it, but yeah.. Sisyphus would be shredded. 24/7 sitting behind a desk would fuck him up though.
If you like this comic, please read the Terry Pratchett short novel "Eric".
At least I'd be ripped pushing boulders uphill all day.
my pants are ripped after eating so many tacos at my desk
Inaccurate. Sisyphus would be in an open-office plan.
Naw man, no reserved seating just a docking station
now that's cruel
going remote was literally the best thing that happened in my life and then the pandemic was the best time of my life. I got healthy, started having hobbies again and stopped feeling miserable most of the time. fuck office jobs to hell!
The opposite happened to me. But each to their own.
sorry about that
"I miss my boulder."
So Sisyphus is now an insurance salesman.
...I'd rather push the rock.
Severance be like:
Wearing clothing for an eternity? 😥
Cruel and unusual.
I'd rather push a rock. It must be good for my health at least.
Bold of you to assume there's boring office jobs for the condemned in Greece
