Hello, Knucklehead!
|
Hope you had a good holiday.
|
This is the time of year when cartoonists often publish collections of their most-liked comics from the past 12 months. Well, this year, I say -eff- that - I'm going to show you ALL of the new comics I made from the last 12 months…
|
…because there's only three of them.
|
|
|
|
#1 - Every. Job. Site.
|
|
|
|
This comic would kill on LinkedIn.
|
|
Since posting this comic, I've been made aware of ATS - a resumé format tailor-made for automatic parsing. Too bad NO TWO JOB BOARDS PARSE IT THE SAME.

|
#2 - Grustle Hours
|
|
|
|
The Grustle Monster's dialogue here was inspired by a tweet I saw from some random hustle bro account. He got dunked on a lot in his replies - and rightfully so.
|
|
Also: a lot of folks took issue with my "two hours for bathing and chores" line. I'm not saying I take two-hour showers. I'm not Kramer from Seinfeld. Mine only take 60 minutes - 90 tops. Sheesh.
|
|
|
|
#3 - A Better Way To Spend Billions
|
|
I tossed off this comic in under an hour out of frustration. I wasn't even going to post it publicly, but the good folks over at my Patreon convinced me to.
|
Ironically, it became my most popular comic on Instagram this year.
|
|
Looking back at these three comics, I see clear theme: I'm clearly unhappy with my work/life balance and wish I had more time to make comics. I'm hoping to make some changes to fix that in 2025. So stay tuned…
|
|
|
|
…AND THAT'S IT!
Thanks again for subscribing. I'm always grateful that you spend a little of your time reading my silly little comics. I hope to make more of them for you in the New Year. Until then, please take care and remember to format your resumes in ATS.
