about the artwork…

OFFICE MADE US MONSTERS


In this series, Monkiddo transforms everyday struggles of adulthood into playful monster tales. Through comic panels featuring SOSO and friends, we capture the absurdities of office life, from endless deadlines and corporate chaos to those little victories that keep us going. The monsters aren’t just creatures; they’re reflections of us. They embody our frustrations, our resilience, and the humor we find in navigating work and growing up. Each panel is a mirror of modern life, told with the quirky energy of the Monkiddo universe. With a mix of sarcasm, local flavor, and monster energy, “Office Made Us Monsters” celebrates the inner child we’re all trying to hold onto, even when the office turns us into something else entirely.
