Explaining the Obvious


right hand man toady business cartoon

This cartoon is popular on my site. Like really popular. Seriously — it’s really super crazy popular.

I have my theories (Phil is a funny name, toady is a funny word, and the comedy rule of 3’s). But I suspect the real reason is that this is an all too familiar hierarchy in the workplace.

Sometimes just drawing and explaining the familiar is all a cartoonist needs to do.
