The current story arc started with this strip: Bad Sign.
- Richard: Stupid managers!
- Richard: You have zero seconds to improve my mood.
- Jack: I just read that raccoons can’t run faster than 10 miles per hour for long. This means he still has to be within a circle with a radius of just… 2.5 miles!

2.5 miles isn’t that bad…
mwhehehe someone’s gonna get owned! And watch, Woo’s chillin’ somewhere oblivious to this all.
Why do I have the feeling that Woo is watching this happen?
I believe it’s called the Dilbert principle. It’s the effect which causes dumber people to be promoted to a level where they can do least harm. They can still make the lives of the competent people utter misery though.
I wonder of Woo will come to save the day.
I think I’ve seen that swear word before. It was in an Astreix comic.
Woo is with the clients and wooing them over to the dark side…er I mean Richard’s side. That or correcting an accounting error, he talks, so he’s also got to be an accidental math whiz too!
What’s up with this racoon this time…
Woo’s off “helping” …by freeing the office workers from all that nasty, stiffing paperwork that’s all around them.
Richard is on the move and he looks disgruntled! Hit the deck!
Half of me wishes that “You’ve got zero seconds to improve my mood” was “If you can improve my mood by yesterday, you’re off the hook”, instead.
Wait what happened? I thought the meeting was going well? how did he get in such a sour mood?
No, Woo’s just off putting cover pages on all of their TPS reports.
I sense an improved mood.
Give up now, guys. He killed Tweety Bird. A raccoon that good just can’t be caught
@ Icalasari:
Woah, I didn’t even consider that! They’re doomed!
i’m quite sure Woo is with clients…
Wow…first panel is exactly how I feel today about my workplace, lol. Uncanny.
E.A.W.
Stupid lightning bolt skull fist bomb managers!
surely woo is hiding somewhere there is food… i know i would be.
Oh,come on! Surely Richard won’t be firing is employee for such a ludicrous reason. Now that would be pretty unreasonable from him. Frankly, whoever heard of a boss firing his/her employees just because they’ve lost the boss’s pet.
@ DDG:
He’s at the vending machines!!
No way Richard’s gonna fire the guy, he needs all the help he can get before a higher power finds out Woo is loose… Sandra.
XD That last panel is filled with win!
Hey, Richard says [censored] and it doesn’t appear in the transcript!
Also, that’s some pretty quick thinking on Jack’s part, looking up how fast racoons can run. If they end up finding Woo, I think he deseres a raise
I’d check the break room refridgerator first. 🙂
Wow… Richard can be frightening as a boss… Wouldn’t have expected that

it also goes under the title of “the peter principle”, as founded and explained by dr. laurence peter. the book that explains it all was published in the early ’70’s. it was one of my favorie books back when i was in high school. that, and vance packard’s “the hidden persuaders”
This last panel would so fit into a demotivators pic.
“Improving the mood.
You’re doing it wrong.” XD
Never thought Richard coud get so angry, even I’m kinda scared… O_O”
Wait… was Jack just looking for Woo under this sheet of paper?
Did he win his job in the lottry or something?
Woo is either
1.Entertaining the managers.
Which leads to an incredible success for Richard.
2.Exploring the office.
Which leads to confused office workers.
3.“Improving” the IT-system.
Which leads to questionable PC optimizations and/or Racoon-porn on the harddrives.
4.“Looting” the cookiebox of the office.
Which leads to… well, to crumbs…
Well there goes the Doughnuts and Coffee!

I am a new reader of your comic, and I am already hooked on it! I spent al night reading it, just to get cought up! (This is coming from the guy who reads, and rereads, 35+ webcomics)
poor porr kitsunekage, I’m running at 63, but I’m moving two to my “suspeceted abandoned”folder friday.
All of a sudden, I don’t feel so bad about my “Reading Habbits”……. And, altengal, I’M WORKING ON IT!
@ neon5162:
Yup; I forgot that. Sorry o_o;
Lily got in somehow and now they’re having quality somewhere close, but also quietly.
It helps to be good at math, so you know exactly how screwed you are. 🙂
@ MrGBH:
Sounds like our electoral system. 🙂
Well woo did fav some “videos” on youtube, and racoons can figure things out Pretty well….. Woo could be/work in IT! @ Someone:
@ Yan:
No but Area is pi(r)^2 so that makes it roughly 7.65^2 miles or about an area of 50 miles or so
Ceiling Woo watches you get destroyed by your boss!
unless he gets in a car
Hate to step on any toes asking this… but if he is their boss, doesn’t that also make him a manager?
On the + side…there is no + side is there?

It was bad enough people screwing up Sandra’s expanding brackets a few strips ago, but this is grade school maths. For a start, area isn’t measured in miles, it’s measured in square miles. Totally different thing. Your number is also plain wrong, likely because you’re multiplying r by pi before squaring it, thereby squaring pi too! The correct answer is roughly 20 square miles.
We tigers, however are vastly superior in our travel skills.
