TITLE The Bastich By Hart: Summer "Vacation" Part 4.5
PANEL 1 (BAPPER and BASTICH sit at workstations next to each other in a shared cubicle.) BAPPER: Y'know, 'Stich, at first I thought nothing could possibly be worse than having to share a cubicle with you for the entire summer. BASTICH: Aw, geez, Bapper, I love you too..!
PANEL 2 (Close up on BAPPER.) BAPPER: ...but lately, I've been doing some thinking, and I've begun to realize that I was wrong...
PANEL 3 (A wider view reveals they also share the tight cubicle space with at least three other interns while a FACILITIES WORKER carts another one in on a trolley. The BOSS points the WORKER toward them.) BAPPER: Things definitely CAN get worse... BASTICH: I concur. FACILITIES WORKER: Hey, I got another intern here. Where d'you want me to put 'im? BOSS: Over there's fine.

Commentary
This was a mid-week, web-only strip. Interns were crammed pretty tight in the office, but I remember it being more fun than frustrating to be elbow-to-elbow with a bunch of fellow nerds all day.
Also, I'm not sure what Bapper's complaining about here, since he's clearly playing an FPS on the job. For the record, we actually did productive stuff there... most of the time.
