There’s some dumb ass like Cogs in many big company work groups, and this comic is about Cogs’s everywhere. He’s totally incompetent, unqualified, useless, and usually annoying. Startups can’t afford to have someone like him–only big companies riddled with rot, nepotism, and corruption. Cogs is Teflon. Maybe he’s somebody’s son, or he holds damaging intel on the CEO. Who knows? He’s like Dwight but worse. He always seems to survive the layoff hatchet. He spends his work time using a well known hole in the company firewall to send everybody in the office porn emails that could get them fired if they didn’t double delete them immediately. Co-workers like to send Cogs on wild goose chases, and show him videos of animals having sex and stuff like that, just to keep him busy. He laughs at the Brazilian fig iguana for being stimulated by something obviously fake, but he himself takes delivery on a blow-up doll.
Blown Away,
Love the tag line on the blow up doll.
Hmm… I wonder how much the company wants for all 4?
I mean, shame on him! 😀
I mean, it's only fake after you've finished. 😀
I can enquire about bulk discounts if you really wanna know, George. XD
I like the choices at the top of the box LOL 🙂
I'm not makin' that up–that's how they really are sold. I have a cousin used to keep a very well dressed blow up male doll in her car and she would also park him in front of the TV and put sports on to deter would-be burglars. When she got married to a real human dude I guess she got rid of "Chuck," but I've seen the catalogs. I'm sure the color of the plastic i makes a huge difference in how they uhhhh "perform."
He's a hypocrite. 🙂
among many other things. He'll reveal more of himself in future strips. 🙂
Hey there! Haha, "Blown Away"? Perfect title and really funny 🙂 Yeah, I like the tagline on the doll too 😉
Is Cogs based on a true life work colleague of yours? Someone where I work discovered my blog & everyone reads it from time to time so if parody any of them into cartoon characters they just may recognize themselves. Poor Cogs, you think the Adult Shop would've sent it in a plain wrapped parcel for him.
Cogs is a composite character, a remix if you will, where I took bits and pieces of various individuals I have worked with. He doesn't LOOK like anybody real that I know. No, wait, actually he does. ( I wish they had all been as good looking as that guy–he was decorative if nothing else.) Some of my characters have a higher percentage of components from a single individual, but I manipulate/condense/rearrange details and sometimes just make stuff up if it makes a better story. And I do have a disclaimer, so legally, any resemblance is coincidental. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.
Oh, PS, I would either go extremely gentle on, completely distort, or not do at all, anyone I currently work for, or anyone whom I would ask for a recommendation. Past colleagues who would write me good recommendations tend not to be ridiculous anyway, and I don't want to cheeze off the guy who currently signs my check, ridiculous or not.
Hahaha… SCIENCE!
It’s… well… it’s hilarious!
