Who said comic strips were dead?

I continue to find new examples of people expressing their recessionary selves. Between the unemployed having more free time and the need to laugh or else you’ll cry, there’s a lot of creative spark. Today, I found comic strips!

It’s about the (non?) adventures of a guy who’s just lost his job and moved back in with his parents. Here’s a sample:

Or if you make your own, let me know.
