Looking for some creative ideas for cartoons to handle torture and harassment?

Question

I am in a situation where a powerful superior is torturing and harassing me in front of my collegues almost everyday. I think I might leave this company very soon,but before that I want to express my feelings thru some cartoons(I am a cartoonist) by depicting this nasty fellow is being punished by me in various forms . I have already sketeched a few,where, he is licking my feet like a dog, wrapped in a pillow and being hit by kick boxers! etc..

I need some more powerful and funny ideas for expressing my anger thru cartoons! Can any one suggest something funny and cool!

Answer 1

I did this sort of thing with one of my teachers in high school. It's more of a comic, but it's UNBELIEVABLY better as a comic. And you'll probably be able to draw it faster if you're an animator.

What you do is make a character out of your boss, who is extremely nice and well-spoken and a good person all around. Introduce him; have him tell the reader who he is, what he does, show his desk (If he has one. And if he does, put a picture of his family on it.) or workplace, and have him share his somewhat optomistic view on life and such. Make him cheery while he's introducing the reader to his world. Don't make the introduction too long- five or six panels will do. The reader shouldn't know he's a bad person.

Then, make a character out of yourself (Mostly a regular guy who just looks like you). Don't introduce this character, just work him into one of the panels somehow. Maybe your character should bump into the boss character accidentally, or he has to ask the boss character a question. When this happens, just have the boss character turn to your character and, for no reason, he just starts beating the he ll out of your character for the rest of the page.

You'll probably have about half a page left, and don't put any words on the rest of it. Of course the boss character looks furious (For no reason) and your character can't fight back or else the humor is taken out of it. Have the boss character brutally beat you. When he's done with you, you should be lying down, bruised and all. Then show the boss character picking up his glasses and walking away, like it never happened. Noone should be watching this going on, and only the last panel or two should not be fighting scenes. Don't just put a cloud with fists coming out of it or any "BAM!" "POW!" stuff either; just make it as brutal as possible.

This might not be exactly what you were looking for, but do it. It will be hilarious, and will get the point across that he's a psychotic ***. If I could draw, I'd do it for you. Mail [e-mail] for any questions or anything. As you can see I loved this idea.

Answer 2

Hope this is not too far-fetched but try using the antics of the young boy in the HOME ALONE sequels while this so-called superior is harassing you.I'll just name a few I can think of...Shaolin monks,Tom and Jerry,Tweety and Sylvestor.I think your own version of Roadrunner running all over him would be cool,especially if you make it related to what you are going through.I wish you the best of luck.

Answer 3

Depict him as being laughed at behind his back.
He is the type of guy that may need to be talked back to so that he can realize his cowardliness.
He may feel that no one really listens to him, like maybe he is the one with problems, and he sees you as being safe.
Good luck!

Answer 4

Maybe you should do one of you scraping him off your shoe (like dog crap) as you move on to something much better with dignity and head held high? Just a thought . . .
