“Panel 01: Lisa is at her desk, getting her lunch out.
Lisa (thinking to herself): Guess I’ll catch up on all the latest MMO news during my lunch hour.
Panel 02: Lisa looks to the left while eating her sandwich.
Panel 03: Lisa looks to the right.
Panel 04: Lisa hunkers down at the computer.
Lisa (thinking): Hmm, if I arrange the windows just so, no one will see what I’m looking at.
Panel 05: Wide bird’s eye view of the people working at their computers. Guy next to Lisa is streaming pro-wrestling. Guy behind Lisa is looking at a Lawrence Welk fan site. A girl is listening to a LARPing podcast.

I hate places that don’t have lunch tables. There are some foods that are way too messy to eat at your desk. I actually brought my laptop in the other day so I could play Machinarium during lunch
I probably shouldn’t admit this but I have my Xbox under my desk hooked up to one of my monitors so I can play at lunch, and when there is nothing to do.
i’ve really enjoyed your comic, but this one really hit home for me.
i have a background on my monitor that’s a screen capture of open app windows, making it look like i’m working. i’ve got the desktop hotkey’d, so if anyone walks into my office it looks like i’m busy busy busy. honestly i don’t use it much, but some days when i feel brain-dead i spend almost all day on my NES rom, or skuttering around the web.
funny thing is every time i walk by someone else’s cpu they are on the net or gaming, or anything but working… guess it’s just human nature to feel like we have to act like we’re doing what we’re ‘supposed’ to be doing (like working, at work). lol.
Thanks guys! I love hearing about people relating to the comics.
@Shimarenda: Haha that video is so weird and funny.
@Gary: Ooh good idea…
@Wasabi: Sorry you don’t like the style! I’m not going back to the old style though.
Don’t forget to add “reading NPC” to the list. Yep, found this place on my lunch break — already added to my comic bookmark list. Though I never got a chance to get into WoW (ended up playing FFXI for 5 or 6 years, though), I’m still loving the heck out of this comic
i have no clue who or what he is…

The sad thing is you could probably describe The Lawrence Welk Show to a lot of people by beginning, “Well, you know that Trololololo video?”
Should have had one of them reading webcomics
I do this all the time at work. ^_^
Well i hope this doesnt upset you, and im not a troll (well my race is troll on wow) but
i dont like your new drawing style, your own character was much more adorable before, know, your hair seems awfully awkward : /
(prepares for yelling)
Personally, I like this style the best. Lisa looked kinda weird before, she looks much better now.
Love the expressions.

You should have Lisa walk by Kendra and notice that she (kendra) is reading NPC Comic!!
well its your website, your comic, your style and your choice, i just wanted to point it out
i love your comic and cats no doubt but that
I think you need a poll for who during the lunch hour is doing the geekiest thing.
