Rancorous bosses, quirky workers, and an up-and-down stock market populate the world of 9 to 5. A cast of regular characters include J.B. Wells (the boss), Sims (office flunkey), and Ms. Forbes. While mainly a satire on business, the comic also pokes fun at technology, relationships, dogs and cats, and life in general. The cartoon is by Harley Schwadron, whose business cartoons have appeared in Playboy, Barrons, and many other top publications for many years.

Barefoot, uphill both ways, in the snow. And if stranded, nothing to eat but the onion he wore on his belt, as that was the style at the time.

Ahhhhh! The freedom of no backpack. I don’t know how the kids do it today. It should be better when they let them use Ipads instead of lugging books.

The history of chainsaws, how to properly sharpen an axe and how to judge where a tree’s going to fall.
