Those are their work uniforms, by the way.


Work Sucks is a Furry 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.


Work Sucks Contains Examples of:

  • Animals Not to Scale: Pretty much every animal character is around the same general size.
  • Barefoot Cartoon Animal: Shoes don't exist in this universe.
    • Unless it's an April Fools gag.
    • Shoes would probably be awkward in a world where everything reacts like a bounce-house.
  • Censor Box: Early in the comic Kaz censors Gayle’s potty mouth by painting over his curse words.
  • Chekhov's Gun: Nothing in Kaz’s monster care kits goes to waste, nor have devices shown for apparent gags.
  • Comic Trio: Gayle, Terra, and Kaz.
  • Furry Confusion: Averted. The animals in this world are given the place of humans while monsters take up the place of animals, including food sources.
  • Fantastic Voyage Plot: Save for the characters all being normal size, this is pretty much the plot of any given work day for our heroes. Though Terra and Kaz were shrunken by a matter-recombobulator a one point
  • Giant Flyer: Zeppy [[hottip:*:There are other unnamed giants monsters as well, classified as "Class 4: Elders"
  • Living Toys: Socks
  • Man Eating Plant One just outside of Zeppy’s hovering spot has been menacing Gayle. It eventually steals his cell phone and has been shown ordering pizza and eating the delivery boy.
  • The One Who Wears Shoes Socks.
  • Percussive Maintenance Gayle’s solution to get the matter recombobluator to unshrink Kaz and Terra
  • Quicksand Sucks: Kaz really should park Zeppy somewhere safer.
  • Rubber Man: 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.
  • Swallowed Whole: Kaz is a collector of monsters, so this happens fairly often. He’s invented several methods to get out of those situations,one of which being a pill called "Pukitol”
  • Shrink Ray A matter-recombobulator Gayle attempts to fix has had several effects, one of which has been shrinking Kaz and Terra
  • Sucking in Lines: Many monsters have breath attacks.
  • The Engineer: Gayle
  • The Jester: Kaz
  • The Ark: Zeppy
  • Kindly Vet: Terra
  • The Symbiote: Hatch
  • Weapons That Suck: 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.
    • 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
  • You Fail Science Forever: Lampshaded with Gayle pointing out Kaz’s ridiculous explanations about gravity and space distortion.
