The modern workplace is diverse and welcoming... even to human-chomping man-headed lion monsters. :nod:

This is manticore. Never heard of a manticore? Wikipedia has a surprisingly good manticore-related page ->[link]

Manticores scare the shite out of me. I'm fine with non-human heads on human bodies, but vice-versa is terrifying. Seriously. The damn things give me major creeps.

I think I've seen some manticores in suits and ties. They seem partial to lattés with an order of barista spleen... or almond biscotti. It's like crack to them.

Do you know a working manticore? Be sure not to rub them the wrong way, if you like your throat were it is and all. :)

You know, for the longest time I didn't know manticores were mythical beasts...I always thought they were related to sting rays or something, hahaha. I know, random. this is awesome, btw--I love the charts in the background, they definitely contribute to the setting. and the expression on the guy next to the manticore is priceless, he looks like he wants to run out of the room...oooh, and the multiple rows of teeth. much love! :D

Let's bypass the bullshit,
and move on because the minute hand moves faster

in before puns involving MANticores.

I can't much complain about spectacular, brightly-colored Affirmative Action-enabled beasts, though. :3

Very nice. Will he be filing the TPS reports?~

This picture is both cool and frightening at the same time.


Just like them Manticores.

Tuna Casserole:
Ingredients: 1 large casserole dish
Place the casserole dish in a cold oven.
Place a chair facing the oven and sit in it forever.
Think about how hungry you are.
When night falls, do not turn on the light.

Wait, I just realize that this means you fear sphinxes, too ^^;

I love the bright, charming grin on that manticore! He just wants to make friends around the workplace.
