The New Job: a personalized comic book gift
New badge, new desk, new coworkers who do not yet know about their very specific coffee order. This comic sends your hero into their first week as an action star: face on every page, laptop bag strapped on like a utility belt, surviving the onboarding maze and the printer that hates newcomers. Use the job title, the dream they are chasing and the catchphrase they will definitely bring to meetings. A funny way to say congratulations, and a confidence boost for Monday morning nerves.

Questions about this comic
Can the story fit their specific profession?
Yes. Put the new job title in the hero questions, plus what you know about the role and their big goal, and the story is written around it. Real company names and logos stay out, so the new employer gets a fictional name.
Can I add a mentor or the friend who referred them?
Yes. Mention a mentor, the partner who sat through every interview rehearsal, or the friend who forwarded the job ad in your answers, and they can appear in the story. Describe their roles in the 'anything special' field.
