Working Daze by John Zakour and Scott Roberts for May 03, 2021

Very meta, the reader would have to have been following this strip for over 13 years to get this joke. Actually, It’s hard to believe I’ve been following it that long.

You could save it on a Throwback Thursday.

Better not to release them. They would certainly try to take the lead place taking advantage of the fact that, momentarily, the current Rita is weaker and smaller.

So fun! I’ve been looking back over the early years of WD lately, this is a nice homage. Made my day.

Oh, send the 12 year old. I doubt they’ll notice.

This is Rick Sanchez level stuff here.

Wondering if the Rita-bots will have to wear a mask. They probably would even without the whole COVID thing, just for their own protection.

Is it chocolate milk in her bottle? Rita-Bots, I like that!

WOW what a blast from the past! Amazing how she has gotten younger looking with each incarnation…

That sign on the glass should read, “In case of emergency – DO NOT BREAK THE GLASS!”

Depends, people might get suspicious if she came across as too decisive and coherent. May be able to fool the execs who translate everything into gibberish habitually.

Nice gag showing older Rita characters. Which one should she pic? I’d go with the one on the right because she let her hair down a bit.

But now that she’s young again, Rita can finally hold that football for Charlie Brown.

My question- if she went to the meeting as is, how would it be explained that Maxine is also 12… or more likely 13 since she seems to often be a step ahead

Talk about looks that could stop a clock…

Now, let’s see… which one is the other VPs less likely to consider copying…?

“I’ll fade away and classify myself as obsolete!”

So Andre and early Scott are obsolete (before Scott “evolved”.)
