Working Daze follows the employees trapped at MacroMicroMedia. MMM is a wanna-be software giant, and it's staffed by geeks and clueless management types. VP Rita will try anything that might make a little money (though her ideas usually don't.) Underpaid Dana carries he place and keeps it running, while overpaid Ed sleeps all day. Roy and Kathy are made for each other, and everyman Jay never knows when to keep his opinions to himself. Writer/creator John Zakour is a humor/sci-fi writer, whose work includes the Zach Johnson detective novels. Artist Scott Roberts was a longtime contributor to Nickelodeon Magazine, and is the author of the fantasy novel The Troubling Stone. John and Scott met when they both worked on the Rugrats newspaper strip.

I’m impressed with Rita’s punishment. I’m reminded of the blind squirrel adage…

Easy out for Ed. Write it – send it to legal for review and wait a few weeks for them to react the sheet. By then the blog will be history.

Anything that stops the plot device from doing what the plot device does every few weeks or so is fine with me.

Time for nap, Ed.

Work left undone is never done. Sounds profound anyway.

Dana’s not very nice.

It’s nice to see Jay back. His brick tomb yesterday must have been more of a managers “timeout”.

Ed would never have got the chance to show this creativity with my last employer.

She is over worked and under paid and has a temper.

He’s always rescued by Dana. Although more than once she’s warned him not to expect it every time.

With that kind of creativity, he should be writing a novel.

I love Dana’s powers and her willingness to wield them. I’d also like to see more of some of the others with powers, like Medusa, Elena, and Madame Shannon.

Thank you Rita!

Their powers are more specialized, making them harder characters to use a lot. Medusa has basically one power, turning people to stone, and Elena practices hypnosis. Dana is a more flexible character. And Madame Shannon isn’t really an employee. Like Elena, she comes in as a consultant.
