You forgot you also have to have multiple references who all speak very highly of you

I'll vouch for you with my life if you lift a tiger above your head singlehanded

How about just a slightly positive recommendation if I lift my cat above my head?

Best I can do is thumbs up for one armed pull-up, i won't go lower

You drive a hard bargain, Ketchupcharger. But I think you got yourself a deal.

I think I used to work with Brockly

There's a Brockly in every office.

Ours happens to be named Brickly.

At least, we think so. He's a mumbler. Mostly he grunts.

And cries. There's a lot of crying. Like, a LOT. Mostly at the end of the day when everyone goes home.

He is probably lonely. We think he just lives there. He's there when everyone comes in. No one's seen him leave.

Come to think of it, I don't think he's ever taken a vacation.

All the pictures on his desk are pictures OF his desk. And one of the door.

What can I say? I mean, yeah, he's odd, but he can spreadsheet like a MFr. He's Brickly.

Hot damn that is a well drawn tiger.

u/Upbeat-Armadillo1756 33m ago

It’s a full grown ben-gal tiger. Not easy to draw, or hold aloft in one hand

The finance bro has a tiny pp while the strong-man is packing a hog. This attention to detail is what I appreciate about your comics.

This has become my favorite way to end my Saturday morning browsing. Man, I hope you keep releasing comics on Saturday mornings. It's like an echo of cereal & cartoons when I was a kid.

Edit: You just wanted to draw a tiger, didn't you? That was the whole inspiration for this comic, admit it. Yes, I'm envious.

Thanks for the ending portion. You’re right, the situation we’re in with fascism and AI is just hard to wrap one’s head around how to properly fight back

That's what I call a creative approach to problem solving. I'd hire him in a heartbeat.

Damn, I love the style and creativity here. Let's see AI pull something like this off.

Moral of the story: work smarter not harder, and always keep a bengal tiger on hand

u/Kukul_Art 1h ago

Ah tiger hand, a classic arm wresting technique. What happened to its inventor was a shame

u/D1EHARDTOO 23m ago

Appreciate the effort at the end to include us who read the message a second time, I always appreciate your comics <3

It's crazy that he still had to use both hands to move the disembodied arm.

Boomer mentality, walk into any office and shake hands with the biggest guy to get a job

Genuine question for OP or anyone who read the pleas.

Aren't sites like Patreon just going to become similar to the sites veing derided?
