Here's a gag I wrote when I was working as a temp in a bank. It was published in my mini, "Spit-Toons #1" (which I'm selling in the Shop). My job was to pull staples out of large volumes of stock info print-outs and then run them all through a document scanner and to then staple them again and file. Needless to say, I spent a lot of time doodling and writing down contemptuous stuff about office work in a journal I kept. Here's a list (though really dumb, I figured hell, why not post it?) that I wrote when I was working there:
1. Journey to the center of a Ding-Dong
2. Pay Your Rates
3. Cardiac Arrest Spreadsheet
4. Still touching your base
5. The CEO ate my virgin daughter
6. Phoney greeting while fantasizing about homicide
7. "There's some cocaine on your lip, sir."
8. Precision Porking with Peggy; a Powerpoint Presentation
9. Trade stocks until you implode
10. Willy the mail-boy smells like pee
11. Still quoting numbers, even in the after-life
12. Around the water-cooler, chattin' about The Third Reich
13. Corporate noose is good noose
14. Temp working on a permanent basis
15. "Yes, the report's ready, massah!"
16. Daily metaphoric anal sodomy
17. Affinity for AK-47's
18. Company Mission Statement: "We Like Rape!"
19. My mug says, "Already Dead."
20. "My secretary's fat and I deserve better."
21. Cost-effective fucking with people's livelihoods
22. "That pension plan gives me a hard-on."
23. How to run a better company by patenting your employees
24. "Vicky complimented me on my new silk tie."
25. Rock-n-Roll mail-merge
26. Profit-sharing with a cock in your mouth
27. Increase productivity by mandatory blood-letting
28. 99 ways to sleep on the job without being caught
29. "Bring Your Guns & Bombs to Work Week"
30. Portrait of the artist as a wage slave
31. Old McDonald (CEO) had a cube farm
32. Four ulcers and no sick-days left
33. "Put down the bull whip, I'll 'CC' Linda..."
34. Brett jizzes in Mindy's eyes, but it's okay 'cause she has vision coverage
35. "Mr. Henderson, I just took a bifurcated shit."
36. Gradual lobotomy with stock options
37. "Didja see my main man Jonathan's figures for July?"
38. Sign above desk reads: "Feel Whorish & Miserable Here"
39. "Did you get my memo about burning your house down?"
40. Satanic blood orgy written off as business travel expense
41. "Hey everyone, look! Cindy's 'on the same page' with me!"

47. Hidden misanthropy in flow-chart
This is a series of ink wash drawings I did for an Environmental Science class project on the 1984 MIC gas (methyl isocyanate) disaster that happened in Bhopal, India. A pesticides plant in the heart of the city (owned by Union Carbide and currently owned by Dow Chemical) malfunctioned and released approx. 40 metric tons of this gas into the city, killing 3,000 people and in the coming years, another estimated 15,000 to 20,000. Neither Union Carbide nor Dow Chemical have given proper compensation nor cleaned up the site. Although these images aren't necessarily accurate, I wanted to choose a sequence that would help sum up the event and its history. The third image shows Warren Anderson, the CEO of the old Union Carbide Corporation, who still has homicide charges against him from Bhopal.
