I like this strip, because it really isn’t that simple. Nature is beautiful, and most of us can agree with Bruno on some level, but human desires look for other things for beauty as well. A “sexy ad” being a blatant trashy example, but it is only at a different place on the scale from, say sublime architecture, or sculpture, painting, gardens, etc.

I was very very proud of this strip, having made up the word “podderma.” It’s not every day you come up with a reasonable-sounding etymologically-decent new word.
Hard to be nasty and dock pay to someone working minimum wage. I remember all too well.
Oddly, it can give the employee an odd sense of freedom.
I quit a job at McDonald’s as a teen in a similarly irresponsible fashion. I was being paid crap and they had begun treating me like crap on top of that. It is the ONLY time I have ever left a job without giving notice. I may still feel a little bad about it, but I’d never confess that.
Cold snowy lonely roads are magical… and depressing. Life is so full of dichotomies!
But it felt good, like poetry in a way, to try to capture the mood like this.
I’ve hitchhiked after dark and felt similarly. It’s a hard place to be.
What grown-up kid doesn’t like dressing up occasionally? aside form Stanley?
I think there is a lot of truth to emotional repression in the workplace being a prime place people develop passive-aggressive tendencies. I understand how keeping emotions away from the workplace is a safer thing for management and simply having a lot of strangers in the same place for hours on end, and I might even agree with it on many levels, but we be human. We be emotion.
Using leverage when someone needs your skills/presence is not very kind, but it feels good when they also happen to make no secret of how much they dislike you.
I don’t know how much shame her uncle should feel. They have such a broken communication relationship that it’s kinda’ all fair at this point.
