Savage Chickens Comic: Calling in Sick - Humor for Remote Workers & Office Life #1938036 (License: Personal Use)

This two-panel comic by Doug Savage features a frazzled employee calling in sick with a “terrible headache” while sitting at their desk, unaware their boss is visible on the computer screen. The punchline reveals it’s “Hobby for the Lonely #14: Call in sick for places where you don’t work,” satirizing remote work blurring and performative absenteeism. The hand-drawn, yellow-background style adds charm and relatability.

Used on blogs, HR newsletters, or productivity sites to illustrate workplace burnout, remote work culture, or humorous takes on absenteeism; matches user intent for light-hearted office satire or coping with work stress.
