Working Daze by John Zakour and Scott Roberts for May 24, 2020

The Princess Leia outfit looks good on her.

Cool! It would be really cool to get some years included. Pretty sure I started reading somewhere late in the 1st row.

Need to go back and read the first few years from the archive.

Like the one on the left in the bottom row. One can always drive staff crazy. But doing it with style is something else.

I always thought that Working Daze as a strip began in the 30s…or are we only dealing with this incarnation of WD and not the entire back story?

Rita as Cleopatra? Never work. Cleo was bad, but not THAT bad. Plus Rita with grey hair? Never happen, she is FAR too vain. Nice try Scott…or is it John?

What, no pictures of Rita in college? When she worked as a Meter Maid during the summers. She was lovely, although the uniform made her look a little like a military man.

Your Rita is so gorgeous and expressive♡.

Do you have something planned for WD-40 or just let it slide?

I like Rita #4 and 9.

Gotta admit, for a grandmother, Rita looks really nice in the full metal bikini and the latest hairstyle.

Waitamminit…originally Ed was actually AWAKE in this comic strip? :). Loved the ‘History of Rita’.

I think she looks good as Leia. Well done. Nice memorial, even though I’m sure you didn’t have that in mind.

I’m finally starting to like Scott’s Rita. But I still prefer Kyle’s Carolina.

These are great! It’s funny how each is a caricature of a person (woman) that many of us have no doubt dealt with at some point in our lives (including childhood). Current Rita is, in my opinion, still the best looking (I like hair, but 80’s Rita is just a bit too … 80’s). I don’t remember Rita #7 at all. I did see the early (Kyle) “stern” look now and then back in the early 00’s when I would occasionally run across the strip in a newspaper that I didn’t normally see. Also, I am intrigued by Rita #2 (Kyle’s #1, as I understand)… she looks very much like a real person I knew!

Wow, such a Rita-lution!

Rita #9 is absolutely outrageous! Imagine her going through doors, in her car… I’m surprised she could fit into her office.

I like Rita 8 and 12, although the white / blonde Rita in panel 11 is interesting….

Like the current Rita best. Early version (first 5 years) makes her look manly.

Indeed … a cool look back at Rita here. Thanks, John and Scott.

How convenient. The birth of Mistress Rita happened when Scott got the job.

My favorite incarnations are “poofy haired ponytail” middle left, and the current hairstyle. I never cared much for the ones where it looked like Rita and Maria (from the other comic strip) went to the same stylist who only knew one haircut…

@scottartist I do like your version the best, especially her current style. The Princess Leia one is also quite nice.
