New Employee Orientation Comic Book
Posted on Wednesday, August 15, 2007 by Frank RocheWhat happens when you combine employee orientation and a great cartoonist? You get a visual representation of the day.
Austin Kleon is a talented visual artist who’s started a new job and suffered through new employee orientation:
Today I started my new job (!!!) as Electronic Publishing Specialist for UT’s Law school. (That’s a fancy title for web designer.) It’s a great gig, everybody in the department is awesome, and I’m genuinely excited about it.[...]
The only bummer today was sitting through UT’s 4 hour orientation session. Like I told my new bosses, it was “15 minutes of readin’, 4 hours of sittin’.” Luckily, they provided free stationary.
Here’s the first panel of what he drew. Click on over to see the whole set. There’s some real learning there. New employee orientation comic book anyone?

What a hoot! I snorted right out loud at the “Surrender, Dorothy” section. Thanks for the morning laugh.

Tammy, that made me laugh, too. There’s so much texture to the doodling that I could spend all day looking at it. Austin is very clever…and this made me laugh, too.
