Losing your job can be tough, for sure. And in these times of trouble, many are finding themselves suddenly, often disastrously, unemployed. But how much harder must it be when your place of work is a secret base inside of a volcano? Hm? You didn’t think about that, did you?
Well, I did. Thanks this week to my main bros Chris Holston and Elroy Sugarthroat of Bullship for help with my acronym. The strip was originally going to be entitled “E.V.I.L., Inc.”, but then one of the students in my comics class said there’s ALREADY a popular strip with that name, so I had to punt yesterday. For their assistance, they have earned a six-pack of refreshing Miller Lite, to do with what they may. Congratulations also to Elroy on the recent birth of his GORGEOUS daughter Ruby Luna, who was such a delight to hold on Wednesday that I totally missed the entire Lost premiere.
Well worth the time it took! ;)
In these times I'm really looking to find work at a vulcano, sadly, all CEO positions are taken! DANG!
NICE! Not quite as depressing as my last birthday, but NICE!
What? Dying isn't depressing?
I like this one. It looks really good!
I especially like bearded-man-with-glasses.
I like how the note actually said "Pink Slip" instead of "You're fired" or having an arrow pointing to the note indicating it was a pink slip. These are the little gems that make your stips so funny Dustin.
Thanks Neil! Also thanks Kristin! Although I already knew you were a sucker for bearded guys with glasses. Also thanks Simon!
Those last two panels are genius! It is a great testament to how aloof/unsympathetic/clueless/tactless people have become. Other people, mind you. Not "us" but "them" – wink-wink!
It's okay– Lost isn't that good.
Very nice Dharb! I laughed I cried.
Is EDNA supposed to be an anagram (sort of) for Andy (ANDE)
and the fact that Washington (Mutual) state is the only place in the continental U.S. with a volcano.
Of course all things are about me in this Mansell-centric universe.
Great comic, as usual
Actually EDNA is an anagram for Even Dusty Needles Andy, although I'm not sure what that means.
