I think this is the first time I have seen the chief in that position. I’m not sure if he is getting up, sitting down, or just trying to avoid seeing a chiropractor. (My guess is his back hurts, and he is too cheap to shell out for a visit to the doc.)
This strip presents a new view of Brutus’ and boss man’s relationship. Brutus is beside the boss and the boss is, as Cordlock points out, in a relaxed position which is also a new position for him. Usually, Brutus is speaking across the Boss’ desk with the said desk acting as a wall to separate management and staff. This view shows Brutus in an almost majordomo role, no longer the belittled peon but a member of staff that has the Boss’ ear. With this relationship, Brutus can even make a criticism without the expected retaliation from the Boss. Interesting.

You mean there’s something he can’t control?

The staff has a tendancy to annoy the chief.

Chief thinks his control of people is a strength not a weakness Brutus. Self righteous – that he is totally correct or morally superior..

ain’t he your boss though. I mean controlling is part of the whole boss thing right.

I didn’t think boss man cared about his employees at all. Today Brutus is his conscience?

If his controlling causes something to go bad, he gladly gives the staff credit…

He controls it by aiming it in the right direction.
