Well, these were my initial ideas:
PANEL 1:
Setting: NukeWorker talking to his boss.
NukeWorker: “Why are you sending me to teach MARSSIM to the client? Woody is the one that knows MARSSIM, not me.”
PANEL 2:
Boss: “Woody said he’s busy that day.”
NukeWorker: “Can’t you reschedule the class?”
PANEL 3:
Boss: “Okay… Does tomorrow work for you?”
NukeWorker: “You’re solving the wrong problem!”
PANEL 1:
Setting: Company meeting, NukeWorker, Woody, Nancy, Boss.
Boss: “I saved a fortune by personally negotiating the contract for our new FSS instruments.”
PANEL 2:
NukeWorker: “You bought outdated meters and forgot several components that are required.”
PANEL 3:
NukeWorker: “And I like detector probes with my meters, but that’s just me.”
PANEL 1:
Setting: NukeWorker talking to Woody.
NukeWorker: “It’s stressful to be a contract employee. I only get paid for the hours I work.”
PANEL 2:
NukeWorker: “I can’t enjoy my time off because it feels like it costs me a fortune. I can’t even take a sick day!”
PANEL 3:
NukeWorker: “Do you know what I mean?”
Woody: “Yeah, I had a feeling once.”
PANEL 1:
Setting: NukeWorker talking to Boss.
Boss: “NukeWorker, you’ve been too busy to get your 40 Hr HAZWOPR refresher this year.”
PANEL 2:
Boss: “So I hired a contract employee to help you out.”
NukeWorker: “When does he start?”
PANEL 3:
Boss: “Yesterday. He already finished eight hours of your training.”
PANEL 1:
Setting: NukeWorker talking to Nancy.
NukeWorker: “Nancy, I’m thinking of quitting and becoming a contract employee. Do you have any advice?”
PANEL 2:
Nancy: “Sleep in your car so it doesn’t rain on you. You can take showers at some public parks. Eat in fast food dumpsters. You can make an excellent sign with a sharpie and a hunk of herculite. Pushing your car out of parking spaces saves gas versus using reverse.”
PANEL 3:
NukeWorker: “I hate all of my coworkers.”
Nancy: “Despite the name, food stamps are not edible.
PANEL 1:
Setting: NukeWorker on couch with laptop. Banner states unemployed. All text in thought bubbles.
NukeWorker: No problem. I’ll just go to NukeWorker.com and find a great job.
PANEL 2:
NukeWorker: Let’s see… This one looks good. “No experience needed…
PANEL 3:
NukeWorker: …must be willing to relocate, then be put into a huge shredder and packaged as rad-waste.”
