My Comic About Capybaras Showcases The Situations Many Of Us Have To Face At Work (34 Pics)
Capybaras deal with awful management, lazy coworkers, and a diminishing will to live.
I used to work in a number of dreadful places, including the aptly named retail hell. I used to write down all the most ridiculous things that happened and was going to share them all in one long post but apparently decided that's too easy. Instead, I opted to learn how to draw digitally and make a comic. I went with capybaras because they are my favorite animal and I thought it would stand out more. Plus, if I'm being honest, they're far easier to draw than people.

Capybaras are highly social creatures and have become well known from videos and pictures online as gentle friends to all others. This friendly demeanor juxtaposes well with the characters in the world of the bookstore: sarcastic, cynical, lazy, clueless... all our human foibles wrapped up in an adorable fuzzy skin.

yeah come guys we can’t have the fire marshals smell the fish and decide not to help us. again.
I’ve always used dark humor as a coping mechanism and channeled that into my comic. I based some of the personality traits of my characters on real coworkers and bosses I had in the past. No one character is based on a single person but I took aspects of people I know (including myself) and gave them to the characters. I think this helps them feel more real and thus more relatable. Much of the content is based on real experiences I had, as well as stories my coworkers and friends told me. I think at one point or another most people have experienced a terrible boss or lazy coworker and can relate to what it's like.

I know how hard it is to be trapped in a toxic work environment and how isolating it can feel and the very real and harsh effects it has on mental health. I hope my comic will help readers feel less alone and help them find some comfort in the humor. At the very least, I hope they can get some laughs out of it. I would like to eventually expand my artistic endeavors and do other comics on themes like mental health and being an introvert who prefers the great indoors.
For now, my job and Capybaras at Work keep me plenty busy and I look forward to continuing the comic. I also enjoy painting in my free time.

I took 7 years off to take care of my Mom as she battled stage 3 cancer. I have 2 degrees. I can't even get hired at Walmart. 😒

You’ve obviously not been to Starbucks anytime in the last 20 years if you think you can walk out of there with a coffee and doughnut for $5.

The living wage for a single New York resident with no kids, as of 2023, is about $30.33/hour. The state minimum wage is $14.20/hour. And bear in mind, the 'living' wage is rarely enough to do anything beyond continue existing. Actually "living" would require being paid even more.

Winning a prize is always more valued than an incremental improvement in conditions, even when the prize is worthless. :-(

If you consider it as "This or starve to death in my still leased overpriced used Ford Fiesta", the yes, great place to be.

Hoping you catch that Dratini/Dragonair one day. And may your water cooler inexplicably become a pokestop.
