Some people come home after a long day dealing with deadlines, meetings, and office chaos. Others come home after losing something far more valuable — the chance to steal a couple of low-hanging credits.
This cartoon captures the perfect blend of office politics and home life, where the day’s frustrations spill over into the living room the moment you walk in.
Punchline
“Bad day. Two low-hanging credits… and someone else stole them first.”
A clean, sharp, two-beat punchline that lands beautifully. The pause created by the ellipsis gives it comedic timing that feels natural and defeated.
Why Credit Stealing Hurts
In the workplace:
Some people chase visibility, not work.
Some “own” anything that isn’t nailed down.
Some pop up right when success is about to be announced.
Some turn meetings into hunting grounds for easy credit.
And then… they brag about it.
This cartoon is for everyone who has watched a colleague swoop in and claim a win that wasn’t theirs.
The Humor in Mixing Office Politics With Home Life
Workplace frustrations don’t stay in the office. They follow you home, into conversations, onto the couch, and into your dinner-time storytelling.
Illustrating this contrast creates the perfect comedic moment: the drama of office politics invading a simple domestic scene.
