    I used to have a casual postion where they had to increase my pay every birthday.

    I was considering leaving before they fired me for my wildly unnecessary wages… But then the company went under.

    C’est la vie!

    Corn tour sounds fun. I’d totally go make crop circles. 😉

    Another amazing comic! I had a job like the one in the third panel once. Wasn’t really a JOB job, but I was paid.

    I always love the “overkill” situations in this comic, like in panels #2 and #4 😀

    Living in Iowa I am totally appalled by this blatant attack! I am sick of everyone defining Iowa by corn when…oh wait.

    Thanks for planting that seed man, I’m on vacation right now. I’m secretly hoping for a plague of paper-eating locusts to invade the office. Tee hee.

    Loved the corn tour plug and the Iowa shirt w/corn hat. However…the official “Corn Palace” is in Mitchell, S.D.
    Iowa ain’t the only place that corn grows. It just seems that way!
    Hilarious comic as always!

    Wow, not as many comments today as for ninja farts.
    In this economy, maybe today’s strip hit just a little too close to home :/

    I absolutely love you comic, but I really have to ask, why is it the glasses bug who is always the big jerk. What have you got against people who wear glasses?

      I started drawing him because I needed way to differentiate the main bug from another bug, and he slowly turned into this adversarial character. In my mind, they’re the best of friends – we just happen to catch them on their “off” days.

    I actually had a job where the management decided to close the store while I was away on vacation.

    I was the “store manager” for a small chain of airsoft shops, and the chain of command at my store went “Owner of company -> Me”. Anyway, I went on vacation, and the owner was going to run the store while I was away. Came back to an empty storefront the next week. :C

    I have, on two occasions, been laid off because I automated myself right out of a job…

    Now, I only do such a thing to my subordinates!
