Sorry this one is more sad than funny, but I couldn't do a series on bad dreams without acknowledging my own recurring nightmare.
Having an office job in itself isn't really that scary, and I'm not trying to denigrate anyone who does that kind of work for a living. In every version of the dream, however, I'm there because my freelancing career failed. I'm back in an office (usually my old customer service job), trying to remember how to do everything and quietly accepting that the goals I've spent the last decade working towards didn't work out. Then I wake up, realize it was just a dream, and have a quiet meltdown in bed for a while.
I hope I didn't bring your mood down too much with this one. If it did, I know how you can cheer yourself up! Check out What the Gnomes Know on Kickstarter and keep me from going back to my old office job by supporting this incredible comics anthology! Did that shameless plug make you feel outraged instead of sad? Well then, my job is done.
Next week, we wrap up the nightmare series with another funny one. Truly absurd. You'll love it.
Rock on, guys, and never stop drawing.
