    It’s that thing where you drop a sheet and duck behind a doorway/couch/whatever and whoever is watching (often a child or dog) is left to wonder where you went.

        I don’t think it’s funny but for some reason I still appreciate custardfist’s goofy style and the effort they put in

        I think the joke is okay and would have worked if I didn’t have to make sense of a number of confusions I had to work through first.

        • number being represented by “nr”. Nothing wrong here, just something that I’m not familiar with.
        • the use of “floop” to represent the sound of the list hitting the floor
        • the lines in the doorway representing, what I’m guessing are, stairs and not connected to the employee as I first considered
        • the disappearance of the desk from one panel to another
        • the path one manager in red took to get to the door from sitting at the desk

        I don’t know if anyone else has these problems to work through, but having had to work through them muted any enjoyment I would have gotten from the joke had that been absent.

          I think the lines in the doorway represent the list falling. It wouldn’t make a lot of sense for the manager’s office to be in the basement of a fast food place.

      That’s what it was. For a brief minute, I was a child or dog again.
