okay less than a month but this was the best decision i've made for my comic making
two characters looking down into a box. the one on the left looks shocked, the one on the right looks horrified, gripping the box top in his hands.

realized i haven’t posted this anywhere yet, but my short comic from office hours, a salaryman themed zine!
introduction page of our main character and his office workplace text 1: “At Company Inc.,” text 2: “in the General Specialty Department…” text 3: “… is a new hire.” text 4: “Nickname: Newbie. Age: 25. Skills: Printing documents, data entry. Strengths: His unbroken youthful spirit.” newbie and his coworker are standing at the photocopier, making after-work plans. newbie gets distracted by higher-ups in suits. panel 1: coworker 1: “So you’d be free tonight for drinks with everyone?” newbie: “Yeah. Got nothing else, so why not?” panel 2: coworker 1: “Sweet! There’s this super chill spot that I found.” panel 3: text 1: “Weakness:” text 2: “Men in suits.” panel 4: coworker 1: “Heyyy. You listening?” newbie: “Ah! Sorry! 7pm. Got it!” newbie and his coworkers at drinks, having a casual conversation. newbie drifts off into his thoughts until a hand reaches out for his shoulder. panel 1: coworker 2: “I’m telling you! Baseball players are probably a catch!” coworker 3: “And those uniforms…” coworker 1: “Hey, but us normal guys make a good living!” panel 2: coworker 2: “Yeah, but we don’t make nearly as much as a pro athlete.” coworker 1: “Isn’t that kinda shallow?” panel 3: newbie (thinking): “Baseball uniforms do make a guy look really cool…” panel 4: newbie (thinking): “But still nothing beats a guy in a—“ coworker 1 (offpanel): “Hey, by the way…” newbie jumps as his coworker grabs his shoulder. he starts to think about men in suits and blushes to himself, confusing his coworker. panel 1: newbie: “AHHH!” coworker 1: “Why’d you join our company? I’m sure there’s better paying gigs out there.” coworker 2 (offpanel): “Don’t scare him off! He’s cool!” panel 2: newbie: “Well… I sorta needed a job quick. And, to be honest…” last panel: newbie: “I really like the atmosphere there.” coworker 1: “?”
