Poop

This turned out to be one of my favorite finds of the Balitmore Comic Con 2014. It isn't the funniest book or the best drawn, but it is the most memorable and by far the most shareable of my purchases.

Poop Office is a Dilbert style send up of office work. It doesn't really offer anything new in terms of insight, these are the same jokes you've been reading in comic strips since Dagwood and Dithers. Poop Office just ups the ante by going right into the lowest form of comedy, potty humor.

In its own way Poop Office is really sending up the office comic strip more than the office itself. No one really likes work. Even if you love your job, you probably wouldn't like to be there all of the hours you are. Saying "work sucks" has the same equivalence as saying water is wet.

Still there is a universality in complaining about  your job, and doing it with humor, even hackneyed humor can be fun.



The real treat about Poop Office is that the creators did more than just make books, they made poop, adorable stuffed poop.

And be sure to pick up a stiffed poo for your office working pals this Christmas, or just whenever.

I highly recommend Poop Office, if for no other reason than saying Poop Office is just kind of fun.
