Mr. Sansom…I know you stay out of politics in your strip, and I applaud you for it. I couldn’t help think of a political equivalent to the above.
Warning to fellow readers/posters to this forum…Skip my reply if you are put off by politics in a comic forum. I tried to tone it down a little, my apologies.
“We, the unwilling, led by the unqualified, have been doing the unbelievable for so long with so little; we now attempt the impossible with NOTHING.” This is a plaque Mom gave me back in the 60’s. Still true today.
A golden opportunity was missed to make real changes in the boss’s and in the work environment. Most likely though, this was the first test that Brutus passed in his life with flying colors…….

By the way Rancid is not perfect, he bullies Brutus and his coworkers and is very mean to everybody, he reminds me of Trump or Scrooge. Rancid never says anything nice he’s a control freak and hoards all the money for himself he doesn’t care about anyone but himself he’s very self centered and selfish, I would like it if there was a storyline where Rancid retires from work. Rancid is my least favorite character ever.

Hmmm…I dunno – I’d have to say using “by jingo” is worth at least one demerit!

A perfect example of how to not get fired if you worked in the tRump Administration.

I would say I’m overly humble, but that would be a fault and I don’t have any.

And sadly, that is exactly how you end up with the Trump family.
