Happy International Worker's Day Slash Nothing Doing Birthday Day! I have some thoughts about this milestone, which I’ll link in the replies below

Summer and Autumn are standing in a winged ring behind a banner. They are accompanied by text that reads “Can you believe it’s been a year of Nothing Doing -- May 1 2023 - May 1 2024.”
Summer: Remember, kids: Even the least terrible jobs are designed to exploit your labor and rob you of your personhood. Autumn: Build solidarity with your fellow workers, because the only way we can take it all back is by working together. Thanks for reading, and Happy May Day!”
In a small panel in the bottom right corner, Autumn holds up the plant she stole in strip 12. Autumn: Also, I don’t know how universal this is, but it seems to me that stealing stuff from the workplace has like, no consequences. Stealing is cool and sexy, and that’s the OFFICIAL Nothing Doing stance!

Nothing Doing no. 28

$p1: Summer and Autumn are sitting in a diner booth. Autumn has a sympathetic expression, while Summer grumbles with her hands over her phone. Summer: So now I only have a small fraction of my usual time to finish each shirt. I haven’t made a single proof this week that wasn’t completely embarrassing p2: Autumn: Aw come on, you’re a great artist! Maybe this stuff’s not meeting your standards, but I bet to most people it still looks pretty good. S: Mm. Maybe take a look at how my latest project turned out before you make that bet p3: On Summer’s phone, there is a drawing labeled Customer Sketch of a marathon runner with a garbage bag. Text next to them reads “5th Annual Apple Creek Fun Run and Bulk Trash Pickup Day.” Below that is a doodley version of the same drawing labeled Final Proof. A: Hmm p4: Autumn looks up from the phone. A: Hey Summer S: Yes Autumn p5: Summer rests her face on her hand. A: I think you need more time to work on these. S: That’s basically my current theory, yeah$

A redrawn version of the pre-serialization “coffee break” single-panel strip featuring Summer Springs and Autumn Winter in conversation. They are sitting at a bar with coffee cups. Summer (left) looks annoyed while Autumn (right) is responding blankly. Summer: I don't hate my job, really. I guess I just... resent that so much of my energy goes towards working instead of stuff I really care about. Autumn: Now see this is an interesting perspective to me on account of I do hate mine
