Four workplace-comedy comic ideas.Take one. Make it yours.

A job that makes no sense, done by people who have stopped noticing. A workplace comedy lives on its regulars and its running jokes, and a comic can hold a deadpan reaction in a panel of its own, so each of these comes with a crew and one impossible shift.

Press start on any of them and it lands in the premise box of a new comic, where every word is yours to change. Then you pick a look, meet the cast, and Panel & Ink writes and draws the first issue.
