Based on a True Story

I'm back from my trip out of town. I hope everybody didn't get too worried by my absense. At least you had some new cartoons to keep you company. Speaking of which, the events described in this week's cartoon really did happen. Sort of. The statement was indeed asked in an email to the pinball team and the person in question couldn't believe she had to ask the question. And the company had those seminars on a regular basis, not because of anything anyone said or reactions to said things.

On to fun matters. In case you hadn't been reading Working Daze lately, we're having a contest where we are giving away three copies of our latest book, "Managers and Other Unnatural Disasters" to the folks who can tell us in an email why they deserve it. We've already received a lot of creative entries, but the contest is still open. If you feel you are a deserving person (and you're not already on my Christmas list), then go to Comics.com and send us (John and me) a message.
