11 | ''[[http://www.worksuckscomic.com/ Work Sucks]]'' is a UsefulNotes/{{Furry|Fandom}} Webcomic focusing on the lives of the characters Gayle and Terra in a bizarre world where animal-kin live among monsters, living day-to-day trying to avoid becoming lunch for the larger beasts. Ironically, their jobs happen to be inside the belly of a giant space whale and home to their boss, Kaz the Jester.\ |

14 | !!''Work Sucks'' contains examples of: |
15 | |
16 | * AnimalsNotToScale: Pretty much every animal character is around the same general size. |
17 | %% * TheArk: Zeppy |
18 | * ArtEvolution: The first comics were in black and white and sometimes lacked backgrounds. Over time, they've gained more detail, colour, and more intricate background designs. |
19 | * ArtisticLicensePhysics: {{Lampshaded}} with Gayle pointing out Kaz's ridiculous explanations about gravity and space distortion. |
20 | * BagOfHolding: The cast has used several over the course of their careers so far. They range from a backpack with a membrane entrance to weapons to Socks' fanny pack. |
21 | * BarefootCartoonAnimal: Shoes don't exist in this universe.[[note]]Unless it's an April Fools gag.[[/note]] |
22 | * BiggerOnTheInside: Fairly common for most monsters. Hoo'va for example has a massive space covered in very powerful monster lungs that create tornadoes whenever he breathes hard. |
23 | * CensorBox: Early in the comic Kaz censors Gayle’s potty mouth by painting over his curse words. (When Kaz is preoccupied or just not around though, [[DefyingTheCensors Gayle’s cursing has gone uncensored.]]) |
24 | * ChekhovsGun: Nothing in Kaz’s monster care kits goes to waste, nor have devices shown for apparent gags. |
25 | %% * ComicTrio: Gayle, Terra, and Kaz. |
26 | %% * CrapsaccharineWorld |
27 | %% * TheEngineer: Gayle |
28 | * FantasticVoyagePlot: Save for the characters all being normal size, this is pretty much the plot of any given work day for our heroes. [[spoiler:Though Terra and Kaz were shrunken by a matter-recombobulator a one point]] |
29 | %% * GiantFlyer: Zeppy [[note]]There are other unnamed giants monsters as well, classified as "Class 4: Elders"[[/note]] |
30 | %% * KindlyVet: Terra |
31 | %% * LivingToys: [[spoiler:Socks]] |
32 | * ManEatingPlant: One just outside of Zeppy’s hovering spot has been menacing Gayle. [[spoiler:It eventually steals his cell phone and has been shown ordering pizza and eating the delivery boy.]] |
33 | %% * TheOneWhoWearsShoes: Socks. |
34 | %% * PercussiveMaintenance: Gayle’s solution [[spoiler: to get the matter recombobluator to unshrink Kaz and Terra]] |
35 | * ProtectionInMouth: While shrunken down and trying to save Gayle from Kaz' jilted ex-coworker, Terra liberates a vomit-inducing pill from his pocket to save him from said coworker's [[CagedInsideAMonster sentient tail.]] Upon being freed, [[http://www.worksuckscomic.com/comicarchive.php?page=77 Gayle reveals that he had quickly popped her into his mouth to carry her out with him]]. Neither comment on this, [[ConditionedToAcceptHorror likely already used to being eaten from workplace experience.]] |
36 | %% * QuicksandSucks: Kaz really should park Zeppy [[http://www.worksuckscomic.com/comicarchive.php?page=47 somewhere safer.]] |
37 | * RubberMan: Kaz is a rubber lion. He’s been shown to squeak when slapping or being slapped, with his footsteps, and when squeezed al-la a stress toy. |
38 | * SwallowedWhole: Kaz is a collector of monsters, many of which like to eat their prey whole and alive, so this happens fairly often. He’s invented several methods to get out of those situations,[[spoiler:one of which being a pill called [[PunnyName "Pukitol”]]]] |
39 | * ShrinkRay: A matter-recombobulator Gayle attempts to fix has had several effects, one of which has been shrinking Kaz and Terra. |
40 | %% * SuckingInLines: Many monsters have breath attacks. |
41 | %% * TheSymbiote: Hatch |
42 | * VacuumMouth: All of the monsters sure are lazy, and seemingly have infinite lung capacity. |
43 | * WeaponsThatSuck: |
44 | ** Gayle and Kaz use a pair of gunk-shooting guns in a friendly duel, but Gayle's (after some modifications) sucks Kaz into a vortex and traps him in a hammerspace ball. |
45 | ** While not a weapon, a printing machine was designed to suck in prisoners and print them as paper for transport. Its effects were found to not last long enough |
