Comic Corner - WorkPlace Comics

Hi everyone. Doc here again with another web comic review. Sort of. This month, I thought I'd try something a little different. (I say that a lot.) Rather than focus on one comic that I think you should read (or not read, as in the case last month), I'm going to hit several in one sitting. Think of it as the buffet of web comic reviews. (You're quite likely to see a number of food related metaphors because I haven't had lunch yet. And now more comics than you can shake a breadstick at!) The theme for this list is workplace comics. These comics actually make going to work fun. They make you feel better about your job. They make you want to laugh and cry and slack right along with the protagonists of these comics. And most importantly, they make you want to point at the monitor in awe exclaiming, "Great googly moogly! That happened to me, by God!" Or something to that effect. 1.) Multiplex -- If you've ever worked in a theater, you'll appreciate this comic. How do I know? I don't. I've never worked in a theater. But it's still a good read. I'm not even saying that because they've advertised on my site either. I'm a serious journalist, dammit! I can't be bought (… by anything less than sexual favors.) The very first comic gives you a good flavor for how the series goes. I've always wondered how many assholes made that same joke. Either that or "Is Coming Soon ever going to get here?!" 2.) Do You Work Here? -- This one hits a little closer to home for me. Anyone who has been stuck in retail hell will see themselves in at least one of the characters. Or even more likely, you will have met the customers that show up to make life a nightmare. This comic is the "Office Space" for retail chains. If you haven't worked in an office, you don't get that movie. If you haven't worked in a major chain store, you can't fully appreciate this comic. 3.) Partially Clips -- The title of this comic is the first of many plays on words. The very first Partially Clips comic I read involved a hair stylist wondering why there were so many "hair doctors" in Germany. I'm actually cheating a little on this one as it's not entirely a workplace comic but I laughed at the hair/herr doctor strip so long I had to work it into this update. So until next time, Joe Bob Doc says "check it out!"
