The Reviews Are In!
The first is from the fine blog Scraps, penned by a nice individual who I wish the very best on their bass lessons:
It concerns me the I like "Drink at Work" so much. It didn't concern me when I first found the site. It was clever and it seemed to make a lot of fun of Sally Forth, a comic I've never liked. Then I discover it is by the writer of Sally Forth. Talk about cognitive dissonance! It's not that I feel dirty or anything, just sort of uncool...
And so with that we introduce our new tagline:
Drink at Work.com—Bringing Shame Upon Its Readers Since 2003
The second is from Emdashes, an exceptionally well-written site based in good ol' Brooklyn that calls attention to what's "between the lines, covers, and issues of The New Yorker" as well as other notable publications:
Leaving aside for a moment the possibility that "jumping the shark" may have finally jumped the shark, how about "Sally Forth"? Don't those characters age?...In any case, who knew the guy who writes "SF" had a witty, nicely designed blog? Well, he (Francesco Marciuliano) does, and it's called Drink at Work. Carol Hartsell contributes good stuff as well...Read some letters by Sally-haters, and either chortle or weep, depending. And call me ill-travelled, but the site has one of the coolest link-arranging concepts I've ever seen.
And so with that we introduce our even newer tagline:
Drink at Work.com—Trying to Make Amends for Past Crimes

Man, how carefully *do* you watch your logs? ;-)
I have overcome my fear of being perceived as uncool and now visit at least daily. I just wondered, do the folks at Sally Forth ever check out your blog? The attitude seems a bit different here than on the comic pages.
Actually, it's very easy to check out blog links through technorati.com
And yes, the syndicate is aware of the blog (which has absolutely no official affiliation with said syndicate nor speaks for them). I just make sure that when discussing the strip I only focus on my writing of the comic, not the comic itself. I also never discuss my employer, to whom I'm extremely grateful for the opportunity to pen the strip.
And with such statements I make certain to protect my own ass once more...
Always remember: The Syndicate Is Aware
Well said, and always at the forefront of our minds. In fact, very little of the content on this site has anything to do with a particular comic strip but rather comic strip writing in general.
Well done!
