How to Accept Responsibility

 

The photo below shows two highly desirable items: the most recent collection of “What the Duck” comics by my friend Aaron Johnson, and the idol from the beginning of “Raiders of the Lost Ark.”


 One can be obtained from Aaron’s website. The other, well, you’ve gotta step only on certain tiles, then weigh out the right amount of sand, and even then … it’s all a big mess. Just, get the book.

Oh, I see! You count by the Chinese New Year! Fantastic!

I have tried the whole delegation thing with my daughter. She assigns things to her stuffed animals in turn, and then nothing gets done.

How horrible. Death by delegation.

I never realized that idol was so ... bawdy.

I JUST noticed that the moon symbol on the underling's coveralls has a crescent moon incorporated into it. That's clever.

Also, great comic, yadda yadda. If you ever had any comics that weren't great, I'd feel more need to compliment this one.

HE'S TO BE DELEGATED TO DEATH!

I have to find a way to use this in everyday conversation!

That last panel had me ROFLing. "I gave him the opportunity to exceed my expectations! That's good management"

As always, well done! What method will the moon emperor use next to try to vanquish his foe? May I suggest death by boring monologue?

Wrong copyright date! That comic says 2012, when it's ...wait.

"Death by Delegation" is the name of my new Tito Puente cover band.

I'm currently serving a death by delegation sentence at work. It's not all it's cracked up to be.

How is giving birth "bawdy"?

January 27, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterPaddy

@xenapan, don't you mean by Moonologue?

January 27, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterFranz

@Paddy - because it doesn't look like a woman giving birth, it looks like a "cowgirl".

January 27, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterZebTheTroll

@Franz: Moonologue. That's priceless, man. Well played. :-)

I have just opened the comic and the first thing I see is rick portraying the moon-emperor. I am already smiling.

I can not fault the brilliance of the guard in panel 4 in anyway.

freak-A great job Mr. Meyer!

That is good management. It never actually works, but who has time for such low-level details?
