Yeah, but you wouldn’t seek out an office chair to go be depressed in. Those people are making do with what they got. They’d all prefer a couch to flop onto and be unhappy.
Niece bug using ‘the sad man’ as a diving platform…kills me!
Also loving the “room to flail” explanation. And of course, the title.
So much win! Uh, I mean, uh…for those of us who didn’t just get dumped. (sorry, dude)
Thanks, but I didn’t get dumped. I’m drawing these for a friend whose girlfriend walked out on him. Trust me, you’ll know when a girlfriend dumps me. The strips will probably be a lot more mean-spirited.
It’s also tough to be depressed in a hammock. First ya have to get into it without looking like a dolphin caught in a tuna net. If by some miracle you DO get into a hammock without hurting yourself or a somewhat innocent bystander, it’s hard to resist the urge to order one of those cocktails that come with a tiny umbrella
I think a hammock is a dangarous thing to combine with depression. Even if you feel OK, it’s too hard to get out of it. With depression, you probably strike roots 😀
Although a couch does seem the best choice for a post-breakup crashing spot, in my experience, most people seem to prefer a puddle of upchucked tequila mixed with tears.
Honestly, I thought about putting out a line of furniture based on the observation but ran into production scaling problems when on the second day of production, I punched a cop, set fire to day school and went suddenly blind.
I’m not sure what it is, but something about that last panel looks off to me, even though when I break it down into it’s component parts everything checks out fine.
Again, there is a subtle hint of a recurring theme, but i cant quite put my finger on it..
Pretty sure it’s all in your head.
I beg to differ… I see a lot of colleagues who DO get their depression on in their office chairs!

Eggs-actly. As written in the first panel, it’s about the item of choice! 🙂
I… I think the 3rd panel just broke my heart. I definitely heard a distinct shattering sound when I saw it.

The niece bug panel also was a LOL from me. Clearly, Adam, you are comic genius, even in (or especially in) tough times.

It’s impossible to be depressed in a hammock, anyway. It’d be like trying to be depressed in a bouncy castle.
“Depressed in a bouncy castle” 😀 Good one! 🙂

Once again enjoying the expression you put into such simple lines. Though I feel a bit guilty about enjoying *these* expressions…..

you are all mistaken. An empty bathtub
there are good accoustics in the bathroom for sobby depressed music.
You really can wallow in it if you want,
If you pee yourself or puke on yourself from being to drunk you can use your feet to turn on the shower or bath water and wash it away.
You can eat and drink in it and its easy to clean and if people come over you can turn the shower on to hide the sound of your sobbing.
Its easy to clean and its relatively comfortable.
…Joe…
That seems a little specific.
voice of experience.
Best Idea Ever!!!
Cheer up Mr Martini, there are lots of bugs in the sea …
Yes, of course. Perhaps they can share their experiences with the rocks they used to drown?
