Like everyone, I've had bad jobs and crummy bosses.
On payday at one of my restaurant jobs, employees ran to the bank as soon as they were handed their paycheck. I mean this literally: they were sprinting. The company never had enough cash to cover payroll, so the sooner you deposit, the less likely your paycheck bounced.
I used to have a wisecracking boss. When asked, "May I have a raise?" the boss would smile and reply, "Well, you can always ask! Ha ha ha ha." He was not a well loved man.
I have a cartoon in the print edition of Reader's Digest and it's also on their Web page today. One of their 10 recession cartoons.
When the call went out just a couple of weeks ago for these cartoons, I really didn't think the above cartoon would appeal. It's rather mean. But, it's also truthful.
Bad jobs, crummy bosses -- when it's all said and done, my friends, I would rather work for a solvent company, ya know what I mean?
Now please excuse me while I call up some clients about some outstanding cartoon invoices. I hope their phone numbers are still working ....

Congrats, Mike! And the cartoon is great.
Good cartoon, Mike. I think your cartoon hits the mark as it's probably exactly what a boss would be thinking.
I went the the dumb route in that issue with my Superman cartoon.

haha... That's great! —and something we can all relate to! Thanks for the chuckle! ;)
Love the cartoon Mike, it really reflects the current situation our economy is going through.
I wonder if companies that make solvents are doing OK...
(Great toon BTW!)
Thanks for the kind words. Dan, I liked that Superman cartoon.
