Comic Books Another Installment of Intern Thoughts: A Business Proposition

Posted by Suzette "the Intern" Smith on Thu, Sep 29, 2011 at 10:14 AM

Whenever I'm feeling down I like to come up with business propositions. This business proposition revolves around my desire to roll with a pug on a faux bear skin carpet. The problem is that I don't want to OWN a pug. And PEOPLE are always so suspicious when you clasp your arms around their pet and cavort around the Mercury office. Anyway, we don't even have a faux bear skin rug or Steve certainly doesn't let us use it.

I can't believe Portland doesn't already have this:

I use New Seasons as my pet brothel. People always tie their dogs up outside, so I can get in a few minutes of quality pooch mooching every time I go shopping.

Anyway, nice comic!

We do need one of these. I live with a pet allergic, and while I do love him more than I love pets, I would also love to get to snuggle with a pet. It's tough, and this comic outlines an obvious solution. Come on, Portland!

Plus I'm too lazy to be a dog walker (and ick, not picking up poop is one of the few perks of no pet).

High quality intern work. This is the best thing since the rant about the Cruise toddler. Kudos.

This is something I've been wishing for a very long time. I don't want to own a dog, I just want to borrow one for an hour and give it back when it's all smelly and needs to poop. Kind of like loading your niece up on sugar and taking her to the park, then dropping her off at home when she gets grumpy.

I hope you have discreet parking in the rear, so that I can sneak in for my pug-cuddling fix.

You never appreciate the good things I do for you! I re-checked how to spell dominatrix like fifteen times, you guys.

Is my mind in the right place, or is it a "language barrier", or this too plays the role of a reproductory place/space for animals, cats and dogs, etc...

Don't be mean to the intern. She draws us pictures.
