I just want to note that all real names have been changed, of course. Also, this one you probably won't think is quite as funny as I did, but when it actually happened, I laughed so hard... if there were a fourth panel, there would be me sitting behind a computer screen trying not to laugh too loud.

I didn't really get that last one. I liked the one about the paper towels. But in the joke were you talking about t.p. or p.t.?

As poor as they were in March with the exception of the bathroom one, which is not bad, and the turkeys one, which is less funny now than it was then.

I'll join the chorus of approval for the toilet paper one. "Claire the Typist" isn't too bad either.

The paper towel roll one was brilliant, and I rather liked New Job 3. The rest didn't really sizzle my bacon.

Neither of those were made in March. I've only had this job since the end of March.

I liked them a good deal, but that probably has a lot to do with the fact that I'm surrounded by idiots as well.

The turkey thing went right by me.

Considering I work in a rural area with rednecks, I should have been shot if I didnt get the turkey joke.

Explain the first three with the 3-09-05 date. Man, you're not only not funny, you can't fucking count.

The funny part about the turkeys is the guy thinking a BB gun would hurt them and that he would probably only have to go out to his truck in the parking lot/garage to get said gun.

Why didn't the turkeys say "gobble, gobble," and how was he hearing the outside turkeys inside the office? I don't know*.

*I do know that actual turkeys don't make a *gobble, gobble* sound, but I like to stereotype them.

You've obviously never worked in an office near a man made pond that had 30 or so (I can't count them when they're constantly moving) turkeys milling about. Fun fact: If there is no male turkey in a flock, the dominant female will become a male. Gross, no?

As for the BB gun thing, I'm more or less amused that a 26 year old man would try to attack a flock of turkeys with none other than a BB gun. He must never have had a childhood. And his father owns the place, so there's no telling what may be lying somewhere in the office that is his... they have parties there on the weekends.

Oh and there will still be comics in this series, but I lost the job title of Marketing Assistant on Monday. They decided it would be more efficient to combine another person's job with this one, so now I am an "Office Assistant" which is another name for "person who gets their face shoved in mud and then has to clean it up when it gets all over the office".

I was referring to all of the comics with "they were as poor as they were in March."

And yes, the two I selected were poor before they were made. It was predestined.

"The Little Claw Grabber Thing" = pretty good.

It's also fun to pretend it's a monster trying to eat your writing utensils.

That little claw thingie always ended up tearing the paper whenever I used it.

And speaking of playing with it, I always liked pretending they were vampire dentures for my hand. People get kinda uppity when you "bite" them, though.

just kidding. lower the muzzle

i liked the stapler ones, but other than that they didn't do anything for me. i think they might be chick comics and you have the wrong demographic here

Actually, I enjoy staples and paper clips and elastic bands, it keeps all my work in order.

I don't know why, but we listen to the 80's station at work. My coworkers hate eighties music for the most part. This conversation and others quite like it are what I hear all day at work. Joy!

This one isn't "true" in the sense that it happened, but it's "true" in the fact that it was considered a real option:

Technically, these belong here because it's an experience at my job, however it's pretty universally accepted anywhere there's an automated machine.
