Hello workers! Jason Katzenstein here, appreciating your labor. Whether it’s physical, emotional, or Herculean, I see you. What can I say about work that hasn’t already been said by Britney Spears or Rihanna? A lot, probably, but I’d have to work harder than I intend to in order to do that. Instead, I’ll kick back and relax and appreciate the labor that has gone into all of my genius colleagues’ wonderful cartoons!

Raise your hand if your employment situation is getting better, your options are widening, you're part of a thriving industry that pays you what you deserve! Now raise your hand if last week they took away the remaining bowl of fruit.

The shark’s life is bleak, but also it’s cool that the computer functions underwater.

CREATIVE LABOR IS STILL LABOR!!!!!

The only thing I love more than having a wonderful job full of meaning and purpose is not having to go to work at a wonderful job full of meaning and purpose. It's a labor of love, they say, and I'm grateful as heck. But man, teaching kindergarten. Am I right?

When I was working as an executive assistant in my 20s, my boss told me a fun trick to get out of a meeting topic is to say “let’s table that” and then just end the meeting before you can talk about whatever it was you were avoiding. I think that was the exact moment I decided to “table” office work as soon as possible.
Speaking of, make sure to pre-order my new picture book “CALL ME MOBY” - out Feb. 2nd from Macmillan!
