From 2010 to 2011 there was a webcomic out there that delivered a wonderful dose of humor to the world of restaurant work. Sock Puppet Army by Nick Hamilton was created in his Russian Literature class in 2005 and five years later became a regular webcomic that followed the daily adventures of a group of mostly twenty-something workers at a chain restaurant. The main character is Jack, a recent college graduate that could only find work in the restaurant industry. His fellow coworkers include Chris (a guru of sorts that's a bartender), Ryan (the angry and barely sober thirty-something server), Meaghan (the feisty trainer), and Ian (the dim-witted server/bartender). The staff must deal with bitchy customers, underage hostesses, and a head chef with a drill sergeant's attitude. Sock Puppet Army was updated on a weekly basis and each new webcomic featured commentary from Nick Hamilton about the restaurant industry or life in general. There was also a forum where current and former restaurant employees shared their tales of horror.
At this time, the webcomic is listed as updated 'now and then' and I hope this article motivates Nick to get this webcomic up and running again because it was fantastic. If not then let me crack open a 40 for my fallen webcomic homey. Respect, yo.
