There are art galleries that host weddings and serve alcohol? Doesn't that just scream disaster and liability?

I love this comic except that the women in it always look so Donna Reed. It's weird because the men are all drawn with so much character. We have Ben Bolt, our handsome hunky male lead, but then they gave him freckles (off the top of my head, I have a hard time thinking of any other adult comic characters with freckles). Ben's buddy Spider looks kind of like Don Knotts, but he also absolutely looks like a guy who spent a large chunk of his life getting punched in the face professionally. Even the guest character for this arc, George, looks like he came out of the womb a 45-year-old bitter alcoholic. And then a woman shows up and she's all GENERIC PLEASANT 50'S FEMALE. I mostly love the art in this comic, but that bugs me.

You could change the title of this particular comic to "Working Daze" and it would go virtually unnoticed.

Evil Mastermind

The thing about Working Daze that gets me is that a lot of the time it's incredibly bland workplace/nerd humor of the easy Big Bang Theory level; nerd references and "<character> has <characteristic>" jokes with Zakour continuing to tell the "joke" after the punchline about half the time. And yeah there are gams but they're not as bad as, say, Brooke, and honestly there's nothing inherently wrong with digging legs.

But as you're getting used to all that and getting lulled into a mild doze, you slam right into the brick wall of some weird-rear end thing where someone gets hypnotized into being a bench for another character or someone getting *~POOF~*ed and turned into food or an animal or whatever.

(And yeah, I know it's all supposed to be a cartoony joke, but the idea of someone being turned into an inanimate object or food is a huge :gonk: thing for me and I hate when it comes up in the comic.)

When we last left Poncho, he had successfully become friends with Benjamin Franklin, the Mailman's Dog. He had also forgotten that he's been to his house before.







And the syndicate colourist apparently does enough research to know that Canadians do not wear shoes in the house, but then screws up not only the joke but also the plot by colouring a t-shirt and a pair of sweatpants like it's a postal service uniform.

Gotta keep us on our toes, after all.
