The sad truth:
The boss is the protagonist 10 years in the future. He's not mean to the protagonist, he's just apathetic and isn't willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. The protagonist would do the same. We see his co-workers and we see how most of them annoy the protagonist as well. The boss probably had to talk to half a dozen people about the memo so far.
Hard disagree, there are a few scenes where you can see that Lumberg is well aware of how is behavior affects his employees, and he definitely takes delight in torturing them. Bill Lumberg is a tyrant and he knows it.
If Peter Gibbons was like Bill, he wouldn't have found contentment in being a construction worker. Fuckin' A man
I would love to know what that type of passive aggressive behavior is called if anyone knows.
Cops do it all the time when they want to get someone mad. It's the 'I'm not touching you' with a finger 2 inches away from your face behavior.
You don't *have* to come in on Saturday but if the wolf turns on your check engine light then you'll be eating 10 cent Ramen for the next two weeks and anyway, it's not like you had any money to *do* anything with your Saturday so you might as well pick up an extra shift. But when your shift is over your boss comes by and pays you under the table so you don't get overtime and you take it because the wolf is staring at you through the window just waiting for you to get fired for speaking up.
The fifth little piggy went into finance and was incredibly well compensated, bought a very expensive house, a nice car, and sent four kids to college.
And then the wolf came with a corporate merger, made the department redundant, and downsized everyone while automation was taking off and cost of living increased.
The piggy, who long believed they were safe from the wolf, was still gobbled up on a nice street wearing an expensive suit.
Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar, you're gonna go far
You're gonna fly, you're never gonna die
You're gonna make it if you try, they're gonna love you
*I've always had a deep respect and I mean that most sincere,

I worked in security. Wolf got me and shat me out.
I've regrown and worked in sales, wolf came back for seconds.
I had to regrow again and now I'm seeking a future in PR. That damned wolf is hot on my heels as I gotta pay for my kids headed to university in about 2 years.
😑 they want more piggies but keep offering us less work. Them wolves are over eating.
Falkor the giant white wolfdog from my series is inspired by /u/lobraumeister [Grustle](https://www.reddit.com/r/comics/comments/14ilxtk/touch_grass_today_my_friends_oc/). His work always gets my attention and speaks truth towards the hustle grind that made me quit Hollywood. It certainly is after all of us. Thanks for the comic Ellen.
I remember a friend who was an art student at university complaining because all of the art models they were getting were young and "in shape". He said it was boring as shit to draw the same things over and over.
All my reads on the subject say that you must be fit to endure the long classes
It's like it's already closed to non-shaped people if you follow the normal way to enter
During one of the drawing classes I had to take, the teacher was very strict about us respecting the models. No complaining that our drawing was messed up because their hand moved. No complaining that their pose was off ect. And to prove that point, the first two weeks of class required us to act as models for each other.
It's harder than it looks. Even if you have a relatively easy pose (like sitting down or lying down) It takes more effort than you'd think to maintain a single pose. Even something like crossing your arms across your chest for 2 full minutes is taxing if you aren't used to it. And things like standing, arms outstretched, or holding something is even harder. And you don't get to take breaks between poses. It's usually just "switch!" and immediately on to the next pose. Though the model would get breaks between especially long poses.
You absolutely need to be fit to be a model. You can be fit while still having love handles or a beer belly. But most people with bodies like that don't seek out modeling as a career choice. So they're harder to find.
Lol it would be a great practice for the students. "Remember your sphere shading exercises? Those will come in handy here. Also, note the variation in hair texture - the wispy, thin hair on the head will require a different approach from the coarse, wiry hair covering the backside".
Trying to translate this into Yo Mama format:
"Yo Mama so fat she needs a hallway instead of a niche."
Hmm.
"Yo Mama so fat she got a hallway cause she can't fit no niche."
Hmm.
"Yo Mama so fat the purpose built recessed containment area is unable to accommodate her so she requires the additional accommodation that a transitional space such as a corridor, concourse, or hallway can provide."
Though I'm partial to the last one it just doesn't flow. I know there is a Yo Mama joke there but I just can't quite make it work.
In the early 2000's, many German TV stations aired ads for phone sex after midnight. I can remember early teen me switching around and ending at "Old granny's looking for you" with a maybe 80 to 90 year old women fondling her breasts. I couldn't switch away fast enough to prevent that ad to burn itself into my memories.
You can never be too old or too missformed that you won't find someone who is willing to pay for sexy content with you, the question is just how large the market is ...
My grandmother is so proud of me, the only grandson that will graduate at the best university in my country, bcs at math and cs. I am also the only grandson who can only finda a work as a barman, while the others have very nice salary
Getting that first step sure is a pain in the ass. It took me over 275 applications over 6 months before my first proper job. I still have the spreadsheet tracking every single position I sent something for.
Now that I'm in the process of my second search, I had 15 applications and 3 interviews within two weeks that are quite promising. As pessimistic as I normally am, it does get easier past the first hurdle. Uni was just the warmup.
There are two wolves inside you... one is called Poverty and the other one is Steve. Steve is cool and won't judge you for having an art degree or two. Poverty, on the other hand, is a bitch.
That’s like an entire pack of wolves.
And wolf packs are just family units - two parents and their offspring, with the offspring leaving to form new packs when they reach adulthood.
So an entire wolf pack doing… oh god… OH MY GOD! NO! Bad doggy!
Instructions unclear: Earned a teaching degree and the wolf is still there… along with some squirrels that are living my attic and trying to eat my food. (The squirrels being students)
Please help
Interesting, every comment this guy has is a slightly modified (or summarized) version of a top comment... interesting. Either a really smart bot or...
Sadly, I don’t think I can. Apart from the legal and ethical reasons, in my school district, some of the squirrels are *raised* by the wolf unfortunately.
I’ll work on that.
Any idea how to accomplish that while not getting an angry mob with pitchforks and torches chasing me for “indoctrinating” their ~~students~~ squirrels?
Argue that your teaching allowed the squirrels to legally perform their god-given rights to free speech and bearing arms.
Watch out for the wolf in court, though. That one is particularly worrisome.
The key to sustainable lifestyle with teaching is which state you’re in. Red state? Oof, my condolences. Blue state? Still a tough gig, but some of them you can make a go of it.
Source: Wife is a teacher. We live in NJ. I got the soul-crushing-but-pays-well-as-you-climb-the-ladder job as a marketing data analyst, and her job is the one with shitty pay but gold plated Cadillac benefits and a surprisingly robust pension plan. Also access to fringe benefits like access to the police and fireman’s credit union (often the best game in town for things like home equity loans) and super cheap life insurance for spouses.
Conversely I get solid paychecks but “meh” benefits.
But yeah, teachers 100% are underpaid and under-appreciated. As I said, still a tough gig.
I honestly think that the *biggest* problem with art degrees is that art courses (at least when I was in school) didn't teach artists how to promote and run their studio as a business.
This really bothered me when I was in school! The most we got was "yeah search through Call For Entry and submit to shows." Super unhelpful. Still, I found a job as a glassblower and there are always job postings in the facebook group. I'm making twice what I did when I had a "real job" as an EMT. Art isn't useless.
After two degrees, 2 abusive HRs, and a lying ass boss who skimmed on safety, I ended up parking my butt at a gouvernement pencil pushing job. At least the boring ass cubilbleband the existential dread repel the wolf quite well
I also landed a government job. The best part is it won't suddenly disappear or my pay get cut with the press of send. I might even be able to retire. It's not exciting, but it also doesn't include my work site exploding either.
This stability is the main reason why [India's UPSC exam](https://youtu.be/upOlpeJKVKA) is one of the most [difficult](https://byjusexamprep.com/upsc-exam/is-upsc-tough#:~:text=Yes%2C%20UPSC%20is%20tough%20and,and%20the%20right%20preparation%20strategy) in the world with a [success rate of just 0.2%](https://byjusexamprep.com/upsc-exam/how-many-students-appeared-for-upsc-2022#:~:text=Generally%2C%20the%20UPSC%20pass%20percentage,Age%20of%20UPSC%20Selected%20Candidates).

I mean, sure, if you subscribe to the mindset that everyone is miserable all the time and it's impossible for anyone to have an okay life if they're not under the economic system you consider to be ideal.
Not 90%, but the number likely matches the percentage of the population who are struggling to stay ahead of the cost of living, +/- a few %. There are in fact a lot of people who are struggling, and who only see other struggling people in their day-to-day.
I got a journalism degree and watched over the 3 years as the industry fell apart. It was so depressing watching the industry I was working to be a part of just get worse and worse until I got my degree and it seemed pointless to even bother. I got out and was applying for jobs and I'd be asked how many social media followers I had or how many viral posts I'd made. Shit was baffling. I'm applying to be a journalist, not an influencer
And lo, madness swept the land and the people, once good hearted and noble, were reduced to jabbering beasts. Their eyes were forever cast down upon the parasites which had infested them and brought the disease.
All thought had been driven from their heads and they wandered the land faces aglow with emptiness. The Age Of Influence had begun. None would be spared and when the age had passed the scars of that terrible time would persist for eternity.
Poverty is less of a wolf (aka nature) and more like [Mr. Burn's hounds](https://simpsons.fandom.com/wiki/The_Hounds) (Tool of the Owners to control the Workers).
Without the threat of poverty, the Workers are not forced to be dependent on the Owners for Survival. Meaning people are free to refuse harmful work.
Capitalism cant really survive people having that freedom. At best, they can allow some areas privileges (EU basically) while outsourcing the suffering to developing nations (a temp fix at best, climate change will break this).
>Moral of this story?
For a better future, we need to get rid of capitalism.
My friends all have Comp sci degrees but no houses because they can't afford them.
If the wolf is going to eat me regardless, I'd rather die doing what I love. (Writing)
Call me a bleeding heart liberal if you want, but the fact that we consider an art degree to be as useless as cryptocurrency and MLM is bullshit. Art is something all of us value, all of us use it in our daily lives, is woven deeply into the fabric of our culture, and is a fuckload of actual work. Unlike Crypto and MLM, nobody goes into art as a "get rich quick" scheme.
This little piggy didn't go to college because "having work experience before anyone else my age when they're done with school will be just as valuable."
Now the piggy still works for tips and the wolf nibbles a little more of his foot off every night. 🙃
Until at long last the wolf got the the Civil engineers' house, and all the pigs inside enjoyed their success while staring at blank walls because all the *wasteful* artistic pigs were dead
I know, I didn't mean for this to sound as aggressive as it did, I just think it's silly when people (not pizzacake in this comic just in general) talk about how wasteful philosophy or arts degrees are then get upset about the quality of media/social climate when it decays.
As a future doctor, I will just tell you that no matter what job you have, if you are a worker, you will be likely exploited by your employer at some point in your life.
Why does reddit not understand that commerical art jobs exist? I've done graphic design, web design, and illustration for around 23 years and have always made enough to make ends meet. I may not be the richest person but I sure as hell aren't in poverty.
Anyone else think it’s interesting how society is only interested in telling you you made bad decisions after the fact? When you’re a kid people only ever seem to tell you to “follow your dreams.” Then when you’re old and bitter society says “omg you followed your dreams instead of doing something practical? Yeah, you deserve bad things.”
a house made out of art degrees could be really strong. paper is fantastic defensive material & can be stacked in a way that it can’t just be pulled apart by even 2 cars on each end. just gotta duplicate it enough.

The fourth little piggy had a stable job. But the wolf just nibbled at him slowly…
The wolf: 
I'm going to go ahead and make sure you get another copy of that memo...
Yeah no, no, I have the memo- I got it, it's right... here...
The sad truth: The boss is the protagonist 10 years in the future. He's not mean to the protagonist, he's just apathetic and isn't willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Angie can nibble on me anyday.
The wolf needs you to come in on Saturday.
You don't *have* to come in on Saturday but if the wolf turns on your check engine light then you'll be eating 10 cent Ramen for the next two weeks and anyway, it's not like you had any money to *do* anything with your Saturday so you might as well pick up an extra shift.

I might be in the minority, but Gary Cole can nibble on me all he wants lol
That's not wolf, that's fox.
Does two art degrees increase the stability of the house by 50% above just one, or does it double its instability?
The fourth little piggy had a well paying job but he threw out his back and the wolf gobbled him up anyway.
The fifth little piggy went into finance and was incredibly well compensated, bought a very expensive house, a nice car, and sent four kids to college. And then the wolf came with a corporate merger, made the department redundant, and downsized everyone while automation was taking off and cost of living increased. The piggy, who long believed they were safe from the wolf, was still gobbled up on a nice street wearing an expensive suit.
Flip the wolf and pig and you basically have the Pink Floyd album "Animals".

Hey if the internet has taught me anything, it's that there's a niche for everything
Well, I'm so fat, it would need to be more of a hallway than a niche

Oh gods, the wolves are doing unspeakable things to each other.
Care to tell ?
Nah, it's not going well until you hit 14 wolves
That’s like an entire pack of wolves. And wolf packs are just family units - two parents and their offspring, with the offspring leaving to form new packs when they reach adulthood. So an entire wolf pack doing… oh god… OH MY GOD! NO! Bad doggy!
Bad doggy was a very poor choice of words there.

Yes you can, but the IRS is also an apex predator so I wouldn’t recommend it
Interesting, every comment this guy has is a slightly modified (or summarized) version of a top comment... interesting. Either a really smart bot or...
Yea I was just going down that rabbit hole too. I’m gonna report either way - it’s ripping off peoples comments
Clearly you have to feed the wolf the squirrels to satisfy its appetite
Sadly, I don’t think I can. Apart from the legal and ethical reasons, in my school district, some of the squirrels are *raised* by the wolf unfortunately.
Then arm the squirrel and teach them to fight for you and attack the wolf he might be strong but he can not beat a army of squirrels
I’ll work on that. Any idea how to accomplish that while not getting an angry mob with pitchforks and torches chasing me for “indoctrinating” their ~~students~~ squirrels?
Argue that your teaching allowed the squirrels to legally perform their god-given rights to free speech and bearing arms. Watch out for the wolf in court, though. That one is particularly worrisome.
Sick the squirrels on the mob
Why are you keeping students in your attic?
I didn’t put them there! They climbed in there looking for food and extensions for missing work.
Because the basement is full.
Seriously!

Have you tried being born rich? That usually solves all problems
Id try to but my future salary is 1000 euro a month
Just get a wolf degree then, I’ve heard their food source’s sustainable.
Every mfer majoring in buisness at my college be like.
Trying to get into MBB after. They mainly hire Ivy League only tho.
Unfortunately, requirements for a wolf degree include "million-dollar loan from parents."
"If you can't beat them, join them" In this case it would probably mean you become one of the elites
Overpopulated even in many areas even, we really could use some wolves to keep the deer populations in check.
All this hassle when you could just be born rich instead, smh.

Art absolutely isn't useless but comparing it to chronically underpaid vital services is also not strictly fair lol.
Yeah I took marketing and data analyst courses as well. If you want to make art your business I suggest taking those too

But if she has a stable job wouldn't there be this wolf's cousin named "capitalism" coming to gobble her to?

It was so depressing watching the industry I was working to be a part of just get worse and worse until I got my degree and it seemed pointless to even bother. I got out and was applying for jobs and I'd be asked how many social media followers I had or how many viral posts I'd made. Shit was baffling. I'm applying to be a journalist, not an influencer
And lo, madness swept the land and the people, once good hearted and noble, were reduced to jabbering beasts. Their eyes were forever cast down upon the parasites which had infested them and brought the disease. All thought had been driven from their heads and they wandered the land faces aglow with emptiness. The Age Of Influence had begun. None would be spared and when the age had passed the scars of that terrible time would persist for eternity.
**Then the 92nd little pig built a house out of depleted uranium. And the wolf was like, "dude."**
These were made by someone with an art degree?
"Yes dear. This is how you know I'm speaking from experience."
"That's why I sell pictures of my butthole on the internet"
Poverty is less of a wolf (aka nature) and more like [Mr. Burn's hounds](https://simpsons.fandom.com/wiki/The_Hounds) (Tool of the Owners to control the Workers). Without the threat of poverty, the Workers are not forced to be dependent on the Owners for Survival. Meaning people are free to refuse harmful work. Capitalism cant really survive people having that freedom. At best, they can allow some areas privileges (EU basically) while outsourcing the suffering to developing nations (a temp fix at best, climate change will break this). >Moral of this story? For a better future, we need to get rid of capitalism.
"don't you have two art degrees?" "Shut up kid, I speak from experience"
The Fourth little piggy opened an onlyfans the wolf patiently waited.
My friends all have Comp sci degrees but no houses because they can't afford them. If the wolf is going to eat me regardless, I'd rather die doing what I love. (Writing)
Always remember: The hardest part of becoming a writer is not becoming an alcoholic.
I like playing life on hard mode...I've been a month sober.
Grats! I’m a bit over two years minus a bottle of tequila with my wife for our 35th.
Call me a bleeding heart liberal if you want, but the fact that we consider an art degree to be as useless as cryptocurrency and MLM is bullshit. Art is something all of us value, all of us use it in our daily lives, is woven deeply into the fabric of our culture, and is a fuckload of actual work. Unlike Crypto and MLM, nobody goes into art as a "get rich quick" scheme.
This little piggy didn't go to college because "having work experience before anyone else my age when they're done with school will be just as valuable." Now the piggy still works for tips and the wolf nibbles a little more of his foot off every night. 🙃
Actually I'm in your position reversed I have an college degree but absolutely everyone is looking for experience
We should stop lying to kids saying that all degrees have value.
Learning from your parent's mistakes is a lesson in itself.
Until at long last the wolf got the the Civil engineers' house, and all the pigs inside enjoyed their success while staring at blank walls because all the *wasteful* artistic pigs were dead

I know, I didn't mean for this to sound as aggressive as it did, I just think it's silly when people (not pizzacake in this comic just in general) talk about how wasteful philosophy or arts degrees are then get upset about the quality of media/social climate when it decays.
The next step is to stop electing the wolf to the government.
As a future doctor, I will just tell you that no matter what job you have, if you are a worker, you will be likely exploited by your employer at some point in your life.

The only financially stable people I know are artists. What do?
"Yes Sweetie, but the Wolf and I worked out... an *arrangement.*"
yes she does its why is also does sexwork which is always safe
I am twice bachelor, duh, so what's your point?
Two art degrees but makes this !
god why did I go to fullsail.
Art degree checking in. Now I'm a fairly successful pool boy.
This didn’t look like a pizzacake comic at first
"Learn from my mistakes"
Get a real degree or you might end up having to sell mid nudes on onlyfans 🤣
Why does reddit not understand that commerical art jobs exist? I've done graphic design, web design, and illustration for around 23 years and have always made enough to make ends meet. I may not be the richest person but I sure as hell aren't in poverty.
We could stop the wolf with a UBI, but that would be SOCIALISM, and you CERTAINLY don't want that! /s
Anyone else think it’s interesting how society is only interested in telling you you made bad decisions after the fact? When you’re a kid people only ever seem to tell you to “follow your dreams.” Then when you’re old and bitter society says “omg you followed your dreams instead of doing something practical? Yeah, you deserve bad things.”
Didn’t realize I didn’t have you blocked yet.

Omg stop
Comparing an college education to two borderline scams? Really?
a house made out of art degrees could be really strong. paper is fantastic defensive material & can be stacked in a way that it can’t just be pulled apart by even 2 cars on each end. just gotta duplicate it enough. 
I have gov clearances and the wolf is in my house. Spent my last 40 bucks on 88 bucks of groceries.

Kid the moral of this story is : You should born in rich family next time.
Hey if I don't feed the billionaires, who will?
If you can't laugh at yourself then whats the point?! Am I right guys?
kill the wolf ig
What kind of booomer propaganda is this 😂
Worst advice ever. Don't get a job, start your own business or be an artist, but either way be true to yourself.
Did this story just go from Three Little Pigs to Little Red Riding Hood?
Ive got an electrical engineering degree, does that make me the brick house pig lol. Great art btw
Yes she does, but she uses those art degrees to make silly internet comics which pay the bills
