I recently got an iPad 2 and have been playing with it non-stop. It can eat up huge chunks of your time. That led me to the idea that some people probably use their iPhone (BlackBerry, Droid, whatever) to text or play games at work more than they should. Doug is one of those people.

Here is a HUGE version of the strip if you want to read the phone text. I didn’t think the actual text was as important as showing the passing of time. I like to add little things like e-mails going unanswered and no desktop activity as well as mindless texts, status updates and tweets.

I thought this strip was going to be a quickie since 90% of it was all created in Photoshop. It wasn’t so quick. Editing screenshots is a pain in the butt. Special thanks to Maria for the iPhone screenshots.

I got a Jury Duty notice in June which I rescheduled until November due to work. Luckily I was able to get out of it due to my work schedule and the poor economy. I wasn’t so lucky last year when I had to serve for a week. I don’t know anybody who actually looks forward to Jury Duty. They should just let the elderly serve. They have nothing else to do anyway. This strip was inspired by some of the lame excuses I have heard while in the jury selection process.

Kanye West is a douchenozzle. Anyone who watched the 2009 VMA’s can attest to that. Anyway, I thought it would be funny to add Kanye to Doug’s world. Kind of like a douche life coach.

Southern CA had an earthquake. The Twitterverse went nuts as it was happening. Really.

This is the first strip in my soon to be ongoing series. Based on true events.
