This is the first cartoon I published in a Revenue Canada newsletter.
I worked in the mailroom, upstairs, hidden from the public. Part of my job however, was front counter relief. Every panel actually happened, several times a day I might add, except the last one. It became how you viewed the general public after a while.
Anyone offended by that has clearly never worked with the public before.
The front counter was for MAIL DROP OFF--not forms, not inquiries, and not the public information booth. MAIL DROP OFF!!!!!! Mail for Revenue Canada, I had to add. A lot.
This cartoon and Life in the Lobby were partially drawn in MSPaint and then pasted up and the curvy bits were drawn by hand. I typed the text in MS Word 6.0 and then cut and pasted it up -- with a glue stick and dull scissors.
Printed in black and white, I scanned my camera ready art and added colour in
Photoshop for my web page. Now you know why I had Mel draw giggle.
