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.\

13	----
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
