Office Hero: a personalized comic book gift
Every office has one person who knows where the good stapler lives, fixes the printer with a single slap and still sounds calm on the 9 a.m. call. Give them a comic book of their own. Their face shows up on every page as they outrun a reply-all storm, survive the all-hands meeting and talk the coffee machine down from the ledge. Tell us their real job title, the phrase they say in every meeting and that desk habit everyone has noticed, and the story is built around them.

Questions about this comic
Can the story use their real job and our office inside jokes?
Yes. Tell us their job, what they say in every meeting and a funny habit, then add office legends in the 'anything special' field. The story is written around those details. Real company names, brands and logos are kept out of the art, so the office stays fictional while the jokes stay yours.
Can we give it as a team gift from the whole office?
Yes, and it works well that way. Mention a few coworkers in your answers and they can appear in the story alongside the hero. The printed hardcover can also open with a personal foreword from the whole team.
