Work From Home Comics
When lots of folks started working from home in March 2020 I decided to accelerate the creation of a bunch of comics with the tips and tricks that helped me the most when I went full-time work from home in 2014. They include notes and transcripts that didn’t exist in the original Instagram posts. Enjoy!
