Office OFFline Comic Strip

Halloween + Dressing up + Zombies =

I decided to try my hand at animation using a new tool I discovered just this week. I actually wrote the joke that appears in the above video last month, but I never got around to turning it into a comic.

I’m not sure if I’ll keep doing these short videos, but I thought it was kind of funny to have a zombie joke read in a robot voice. What do you think? Let me know in the comments.

UPDATE: I just noticed that the video doesn't appear in the RSS feed, so for all you RSS subscribers, if you want to watch the video I created, you'll need to click through to the actual post.

Learning + Movies =

Today’s Office OFFline comic was inspired by the movie, "2012."

I actually haven’t seen the movie yet, but it sounds awesome. Have you seen it? Was it any good?

Democracy + Work + People + Decisions =

Today’s Office OFFline comic was inspired by the recent elections.

After creating this comic, it occurred to me that elections are a lot like business meetings. The people in charge usually have an agenda. Most people never participate. And when it’s over, we spend a ton of time trying to figure out what really happened.

Have you noticed other similarities?

People + Word =

Today’s Office OFFline comic was inspired by a project I’m working.

Marketing + Software =

Struggles – Happiness =
