<P>I decided to try my hand at animation using a <A href="http://www.xtranormal.com/" mce_href="http://www.xtranormal.com/">new tool</A> 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. </P>
<P>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.</P>
<P>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.</P>

<P>Today’s Office OFFline comic was inspired by the recent elections.</P>
<P>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. </P>
<P>Have you noticed other similarities?</P>
