The one the office runs on, drawn as the mastermind.
They are leaving, or getting promoted, or hitting ten years and pretending not to care. A comic book puts them on the cover with their real face, the office in-jokes in the speech bubbles, and the plan they always had three steps ahead drawn as the scheme that saves the city. The whole team can chip in.
A gift from the team should be an inside joke.
The mastermind angle
Every office has the one who booked the room before the meeting existed. The Espresso Empress, our book for a colleague in Porto, drew that person as a villain with an evil plan that turned out to be generosity. Yours can run the same way.
The in-jokes go in the bubbles
The broken printer, the Tuesday emails, the nickname from the offsite that never went away. Give us three and they land in the speech bubbles and the background, where only the team will catch them. That is the point.
The team can be in it
A few colleagues can appear, each drawn from a photo: the desk neighbor, the manager who will pretend to be annoyed, the one who started the group chat. The hero stays the hero. The rest of the floor chips in on the price.
What arrives in your inbox.

The Espresso Empress - An office mastermind whose evil plan turns out to be generosity
The Disassembler - A story page: an engineer taking a broken system apart in the rain
Story ideas - steal one, or tell us yours.
The Last Day Heist
On their final day, the hero steals the one thing the office cannot run without: the spreadsheet only they understand. Ransom: a proper send-off.
Three Steps Ahead
The city is attacked on a Monday. The hero already handled it on Friday, filed the report, and booked the room for the debrief.
The Promotion Nobody Saw Coming
Except them. A comic that follows the quiet years of doing everyone's job, and the day the city finally puts the right name on the door.
Ten Years, One Desk
A work anniversary retold as a decade of missions from the same chair. The printer is the recurring villain. It never wins.
The Offsite That Went Wrong
Team building in the woods, a map nobody can read, and the one person who packed for this. The team walks out because of them.
What to put in the form.
The occasion and the years
Leaving, promoted, or ten years in. Say which, and how long they have been there. The story is shaped around it.
Three in-jokes, explained
The nickname, the printer, the thing from the holiday party. Write each one as if to a new hire so it lands on the page.
Photos that are not the badge
Two or three clear photos of their face in daylight. The team photo from the offsite usually works. The same for anyone joining them.
Roast, or tribute
Tell us whether the room wants to laugh or to get a little quiet. Most want both, and the epilogue is where the quiet goes.
Comics we have made for colleagues.
Easier than passing the card around.
Tell us about them
A short form and a few photos. Their personality, your occasion, the details only you would know.
We build their comic
An original story with them at the center - their real face on the cover, their city as the setting. A person checks every page before it ships.

Before you start.
What is a good leaving gift for a coworker from the whole team?
One thing everyone had a hand in. A comic book puts the coworker on the cover as the hero, with the office in-jokes in the speech bubbles and a few of the team drawn in beside them. One person fills in the form with lines collected from everyone, the team splits the $49, and the PDF arrives within 24 hours.
Is a comic book an appropriate work anniversary or promotion gift?
Yes, as long as it is kind. The comic is a tribute wearing a joke: the person who plans three steps ahead is drawn as the mastermind, and the in-jokes are the ones the team already tells to their face. The quiet part goes on the dedication page, in the team's own words.
How fast is it?
Most comics are delivered the same day you order, and always within 24 hours. You get a high-resolution PDF by email, sized for printing at home or at any print shop.
What do you need from me?
Two or three clear photos of the person, a few details about them, and the occasion. The form takes a few minutes. The more specific the details, the more the story feels like them.
What if something is off?
Every comic includes one free revision, and there is a 14-day refund window. A person reviews every page before it is sent.
Is it really 26 pages?
Yes: a cover, a dedication page, 22 story pages, an epilogue and a back cover, with more than 50 individually composed panels. It is a full comic book, not a strip or a poster.
Also a good gift for...
They planned everything else. Plan this one.
