It feels like every rule in this country is against humanity
Welcome to Bureaucracy!
I’ve always find private bureocracy worse than goverment bureocracy they pull from their hats everykind of roadblock so you won’t get what you want.
I have precisely the opposite experience. There’s a limit to how bad a private bureaucracy can get before they lose business; such is not true of the government.
This is only true if there is suitable competition, that the business in question hasn’t eliminated to gain total dominance over their respective share of the market.
Yep, Walmart bureaucracy is tons of times worse than my local civil registration office.
“Huy” is not a “slang”, it’s a swear word. Russian language doesn’t have neutral word for a dick: it can be mentioned by medical terms, by numerous euphemisms or by swear words.
That is correct. It’s one of the taboo swear words about on the same level as the “C word” in English.
-Cryo
‘Crikey!’
Now I’m curious, did her vengeful boss know how her name would be interpreted by the locals or is that just another horrible twist of circumstance for Troy?
I could expect that from Hope-Fokker, but I’m pretty sure Teddy Wexler is too ignorant to come up with something like that.
Having had this happen to me in Indonesia.. I’m convinced Troy is my spirit animal
Mine Sweeper!
Love the concertina wire on the building’s facade. Adds that elegant touch.
have you filled out the form which authorizes you to fill out the next stack of forms?
there are pages of this comic that remind me too much of my life — my daily job is working on forms. it’s soul-crushing work, but it pays the medical bills. which of course require even more forms.

Truth.
In case any of you wonder what’s there to snicker about, Huy (and variations of it) is one of the worst names you can have in a Russian speaking country because it’s slang for dick: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mat_%28Russian_profanity%29#Khuy
