This comic artist captures the typical office experiences through the lens of sarcastic and relatable humor. "Work Chronicles" usually provide a look at the day-to-day grind, highlighting the quirks of office life, relationships with coworkers, and the highs and lows of work environments.

So, without further ado, we invite you to take a quick break and let us know whether any of the illustrated situations seem far too familiar.

Bored Panda once again reached out to the artist behind "Work Chronicles", Bob, who kindly answered our questions.

First and foremost, we were curious to know whether there have been any changes since the last post shared in 2022. Bob responded: “Yes, Work Chronicles is now a newsletter-first comic! My newsletter is now my main medium of publication. While I do post on social media, exclusive comics and bonus panels are posted only on my newsletter.”

If only it worked like that. Lying in the job description should be a punishable offense by the department of labor

But it's not punishable for the company to lie. Double standards in my book

If everything they say is a lie, are they lying?

The artist also explained a bit more about how he chooses or, in fact, doesn’t choose which work experiences to portray in the comics.

“I list down all the experiences in my notebook and start writing the script for each one of them. Some of the scripts come out well. Others don't. The scripts that get fully formed are turned into comics. The scripts that don't seem right are put on hold and I let them stew there for longer. I'll keep coming back to see if I have a fresh take on the script. If not, I'll drop it,” shared the artist.

In a previous interview, Bob mentioned that scriptwriting is crucial. Therefore, we asked how he makes sure that the scripts turn into humorous comics.

“Writing and rewriting. When I sit down to write a script, I never hold back. I let the good and bad ideas flow onto the paper. You need to get all the bad ideas out of your system before the good ideas start flowing. Then, I start the process of editing. Cutting words. Rearranging the panels. Taking care of readability. It's a lot of work. But after a lot of practice, you start to get the hang of it,” responded the artist.

Previously, Bob also mentioned wanting to make books and animations. The artist explained what challenges he foresees in doing that alongside his current commitments.

“My comics don't make much money at the moment. So I have a day job to pay the bills. I have a family, so I spend a lot of time with them as well. So outside of my day job and family, I get very little time to make comics. And so books and animation are on hold,” shared Bob.

And lastly, the artist added what he would like people to take away from the comics: “You are not alone. We all face the same issues at work - whether it's anxiety or a micromanaging boss.”
