About

TheOfficeNinja.com is an online web comic and blog about the daily struggles of a ninja working in the corporate world.

The authors believe that all corporate cube-dwellers are, in fact, ninjas: They either know they are one or they do not.

To that end “The Office Ninja” as seen here is a manifest representation to the working class white collar who desperately would love to stealth-attack the living snot out of their boss, toss a couple shurikens at the constantly broken fax machine down the hall, or grapple their way out of massively boring quarterly earning round tables.

This comic is about you.

Share your personal stories with the community over at the Forums, let your voice be heard, and we’ll immortalize the best into real strips for the world to share in your office-ninja-ry!

Please Note: All strips in The Office Ninja are, admittedly, based on real life situations, circumstances, and persons. Names have been changed to protect the innocent and infamous.

Brief History: Peter was chosen at a young age to be one of the many who would live and die in the white-collar workspace. While living out the middle-class dream in Corporate America, Peter was visited by a guru who changed his life forever. This guru trained him to be the “shadow in the light” and the “light in the shadow,” whatever that means. Eventually, Peter grew through the ranks and is now a level 17 gnome assassin. Peter continues to live out his life in the static grey dungeons of the cube farm and he seeks the day when his mission will be revealed to him.

Brief History: Lucian exists only in your imagination. When you enter the world of your mind, Lucian is there. Well, he might be there. Where is the world of your mind again? Okay, nevermind, he’s not there. Lucian does NOT exist in your imagination. He actually resides in the world of his mind where universes are created and destroyed, life is given and taken away, and socially awkward “men” who never grew up play video games, watch cartoons, eat delicious ice cream, and inexplicably have gorgeous girlfriends. He exits this world only on occasion to go potty or take out the trash.
