About These Office Cartoons
This collection of office cartoons is created by Ravindra Potharaju, author of Give Me Back My Guitar and Fools Work Hard for Others, drawing on firsthand experience of leading and managing business units within large global organisations, along with long-term observation of organisational behaviour, leadership dynamics, and decision-making patterns.
Rather than targeting specific companies or individuals, the cartoons reflect systems that quietly shape how work actually happens. They aren’t meant to mock work — they’re meant to recognise it. ​
