Working Daze by John Zakour and Scott Roberts for August 21, 2014

ow! ow! ow! my eyes! How am I gonna get to sleep now?

Oh, be happy it wasn’t Mrs. Jenson pictured here.

Agreed, but where are the “rolls of hanging fat”?

Mary Sue’s powers must not be working. But Mistress Rita is still Mistress Rita.

Beautiful artwork, though…have to admit that the guy who draws these strips is GREAT. And cute storyline, too, of course. (Don’t get a swelled head, guys.)

Agree marilynn25 … when they want they do great “artwork” and can draw sexy and add sexier with a single well placed line or curve… when they want….

At least it’s a back shot, and not the front. Thank heavens for the towel. …Dana’s got some great ‘humidity hair’ going on.

If the company loses it should be deducted from the executives’ bonuses…like that was going to happen.

Getting a water refill in the sauna is quite the exercise of power. At least we know she has not had the same water bottle for all these years.

Is Rita really that hideous?

Could Dana join her

Like she doesn’t know – if times get bad for a company, bonuses remain for the uppers. The verily ones whose decisions often caused the problems. Workers are let go entirely.

1. I think Rita looks good for her age, don’t see how can this gross out somebody (except for the fact that she is Rita, and her mere presence offends anyone)

2. As mentioned in previous cartoons, they are aware of reality but choose to ignore it; how can they see ‘sharing loses’ as fair, but give 12 millions bonuses to a ceo when there is no profit, and how come those who make the decisions don’t take a share in the profits all the time

I am thinking on the smell Dana has to stand the rest of the day. Getting with clothes into a sauna, where she’s gonna sweat and her clothes are gonna get wet..

Somehow, Rita’s butt cleavage was not something I was hoping to see today…

the company building has a sauna? heeyyy Carolina, when is your next break..?

Whoa! Look at Rita’s back.

So is this Scott imitating Frank Cho’s style? GoComics is getting lenient.

Somehow, I always perceived Rita as being more svelte. But that could just be my own prejudices showing thru.As far as the prurient bits, y’all just grow up a little, y’hear? LOL

Um, I work for the government. Please don’t cast aspersions on all of us. A lot of us are good people, doing the best job we can and dedicated to our jobs.

That said, Rita has never been represented as fat when she’s dressed. Her figure is not as good as the others’ but she has always been drawn as though she is in good shape. I was a little surprised to see her drawn so flabby in the sauna.

Rita is a hockey and now pickeball player so she is in good shape.

C’mon Rita, no tramp stamp???

Reminds me of an old Spider-Man comic where the Kingpin relaxes in the sauna while his bodyguards still have to wear their suits, only Rita is far more diabolical than any crime boss, lol.

That’s a hot sauna. That water bottle has melted!I see no rolls of fat. I see no ‘love handles’. None of the women in this strip can be described as a ‘Blondie’, or ‘Aunt Fran’ (Nancy & Sluggo), or drawn super skinny. Those that see that have been seeing too many skinny models and actors

Rita is not fat. Take a drawing class with live models sometime. Rita is drawn realistically. Dana was as well in the nightgown a few panels back. Did you notice Dana’s thighs were thicker than the average starved, photoshopped, model. Very nice work guys!

I don’t understand what everyone is talking about Rita has a nice body, if anything she has a realistic build. very nicely drawn.
