Workplace Stress Cartoon by Dave Carlson Studios #1590371 (License: Personal Use)

This editorial cartoon features a massive, grumpy gorilla looming over two visibly distressed office workers-a man in a suit and tie and a woman in a pink dress-both straining under the creature’s physical and metaphorical burden. The exaggerated scale and expressive linework emphasize themes of power imbalance, overwhelming responsibility, and organizational dysfunction. Created by Dave Carlson Studios, it blends humor with sharp social commentary.

Used on editorial pages, HR training materials, or mental health awareness campaigns to visually represent workplace stress, toxic leadership, or burnout; targets professionals, managers, and educators seeking relatable visual metaphors.
