Working Daze is the worst.

But wait, Zakour and Roberts have a second strip where they incompetently plagiarize pay hilarious homage to basically every childhood strip from C&H to Peanuts to Marvin called Maria's Day!

Hmm- not ‘exact same’- they’re all variants. Comics thrive on borrowing themes. I said “Calvin and Hobbes” when John first sent this one, but I thought it would be fun to see how we could handle it. But Calvin in many ways was Dennis The Menace crossed with Barnaby. And he was building on crazy things Little Lulu had done.

He just needs a beaker of Funny Comic Strip DNA.

(Yes, yes, I know, that's Safe Havens.)

What I really hate about Working Daze* is the one-note evil boss character. Used to be, office strip bosses were portrayed as imperious and out of touch, but not necessarily evil. But now it seems like every office strip has to have a boss who's genuinely malevolent -- the PHB, Ms. Trellis from Fastrack, et al. It's gotten to be a tiresome cliche. At least Sally Forth went in a different direction with Ralph.

*(well, that and the fact that Scott Roberts is actually a good artist and shouldn't be wasting his time on this crap. Even though he clearly spends about 10 minutes per panel.)

Hey, the boss lady in Working Daze has two notes. She's evil and there's a water bottle in frame every single time she appears no matter what. Her water bottle tells you ____________ about her character. :colbert:

I like how at no point does he connect the dots regarding this enigmatic, highly competent, identity hiding man who thinks precisely like the enigmatic, highly competent, identity hiding man that he takes orders from. How the gently caress does the Jungle Patrol solve any mysteries?

I think most of these are individual strips cut out of a Super-Fun-Pak that previously ran in TTDB.
