People say you should “dress professionally”. Dressing professionally and how I dress when I’m at my most productive are.. not the same.

A picture starting with the title “The problem with ‘dress professionally’”. Under this are three columns. The column to the left is titled “relaxed edition”.

Face: painted. Clothes: clean, ironed, seasonally appropriate. Shoes: match outfit. The middle column is titled “starting work”.

The final column on the right is titled “MAX PRODUCTIVITY”. In this, the same person is shown to be still wearing their bathrobe, but they’ve covered it with a sleeping bag.

Also, don’t worry- I do have some text posts queued up! This week involves a lot of packing away all of my things for the second big house-move of the year, though, so you’re likely to get more in the way of doodles until I’m all settled in.
