Have you ever had the Sunday Scaries? It's that sense of dread that starts creeping in, unsuspected, over a weekend when you know you'll eventually need to go back into the office again.
This was a very familiar feeling to me as an attorney at a law firm that, coupled with a dark sense of humor, I needed a creative outlet for. That's what led to the creation of these comics, featuring stressed-out stick figures with odd head shapes, which are reflections of many of my actual experiences as a lawyer.
I hope these comics serve as a form of therapy–like, a much quieter version of listening to death metal after a demanding day—for other attorneys, working professionals, or anyone who needs a break from the daily grind.

Asperger. I relate. Either do work or do social, but not on the same day.
Fortunately, at least in Europe this kind of contract is void anyway. Clauses that defy common law, that are surprising or that one-sidedly disadvantage the customer are void. I am always thinking about that when I scroll through EULAs that have been designed by US lawyers and merely translated. You are just accept them over here, they are not binding anyway.
Lawyer? Rather engineer! It freaks me off that some recipes refer to cups, tablespoons and the like. Either be precice (grams, litres) or relative (twice the amount of butter than the amount of sugar).
I'm assuming you're not entirely familiar with the metric system... 1 teaspoon is 5ml, a tablespoon is 20ml, all "cups" and "spoons" have precise quantities. Also, in a typical set of kitchen measuring spoons or cups, they are all made to these precise measurements. So, although it may seem vague, it's actually very specific. Although handfuls and pinches....

"What size hand are we using" HAHHAHAA Yes. That's... pretty much exactly why I can't cook/bake worth a damn... "what's this pinch business? What do you mean stir until it looks good?? wtf?"
Pretty sure my recipe using gram and ml, it must be an old one, nowadays everybody have weighing scale and measuring cup.
Or they wont give the real recipe, yep, nobody wont give an authenthic delicious recipe, opening a restaurant seems more profitable and more reasonable, so keep trying figuring it out.

Hahaaaahaahahahahaha!!!🤣 I love this one... It's my favorite
I upvoted this because it has a pie chart. Otherwise it probably would've gotten nothing. I love pie charts.
Oh my god this is me in a nutshell when school meetings ended/got cancelled lol
My dude... a pizza hut pizza has more than nutrition than a grilled cheese... someone give this man a salad or something
You will not believe me but my best score on not showering is 10 weeks. And, no, I don't scare away my colleagues, and Axe stock isn't up because of me. I've been in a gypsum upper body shell for 8 months in a row, with one gently sponge wash after 4 months when the shell was renewed. Then you realise that our focus on personal hygiene is somewhat overrated.
That's not just in law, thought. Insurance is the same way.

I've worked in law firms for over 10 years, so I can relate! Thanks for the laughs, keep up the great work :).
These are exactly the reasons why I left my lawyer life and never looked back
Gave up private practice to work in insurance... relate to ALL of these... even in the new line of work -__- I keep dreaming of going to another country where work/life balance is a thing.
