The Punchin’ Bag 7: Zone Defense

The Punchin’ Bag encounters an inescapable realm: the friendzone.

Is the friendzone real? Is it a matter of confidence? Is it wrong to expect something out of a relationship with the opposite sex and not accept it for what it is, which may just be friendship? Or does the pain of liking someone and them not liking you back make “just being friends” too difficult to realistically pull off?

My wife and I debate the merits of lamenting being friendzoned, herself having to deal with guys who acted like friends but turned a cold shoulder once they realized “it” wasn’t happening, and myself mired in several friendzones in my youth, lamenting that a girl I liked just didn’t see me “that way”.

The Punchin’ Bag 5: Entry Position

The Punchin’ Bag tackles some entry-level work with The Elite Team. Will it pay off? Does it ever?

While drawing this, I realized I may try to avoid too much of PB in full costume in the future, if only because his round head is hard to draw with pen and ink #butIdigress.

The Punchin’ Bag 4: Compensating

The latest in my webcomic, The Punchin’ Bag, as he tackles the greatest foe of all: soul crushing office work. Check out the rest here, and Gentleman & Scholar Comics here.

As a fan of Office Space, The Office, and a victim of offices myself, this was a cathartic comic.
