I agree, Matticus, the snowglobe/fishbowl one reminded me very much of Larson as well. Have loved his toons and quirkiness forever. Do you also call them snowglobes over in the UK?
My friend and I have been pondering this one… what is your take on it? (If any.) I’ll share my thoughts tomorrow. Anyone else want to weigh in?

I'm not answering that until you confirm whether it's a Remove-The-Caption windup!

(Incidentally it's past the Golden Years, i,e. after my obsession with Larson, date-wise ;-)

However, I don't really see why it is funny ...

Spoiler: Spoiler

One day Wilson, I'll be sitting at that desk

Aha - that rings a bell. I think that's hilarious.

Spoiler: The point

is that they are both in uninspiring-looking jobs in faceless locations. And clearly "promotion" to the OTHER desk is of no consequence, but is a Big Deal in the mind of Wilson's colleague/junior.
You don't find that hilarious?!? x

I find it sad and reminds me of circumstances where I have worked with people who are very proud of their job title

which is meaningless

or will fight tooth and nail to sit in the right part of the office by the windows and have a partition next to them - and looked down on me because I sat in the middle

all of which was pointless - but it meant a lot to them

I've only really worked in an office once, as a temp working at the British Council down in that London. Remarkable organisation, they have a very high proportion of disabled staff. Anyway, I was put into a small filing office and set to work putting invoices into a binding machine and gluing spines on with fabric and hot glue. Extremely tedious but relatively well paid. The only other guy in the office had his own desk but had a very bad speech impediment. I swear on my life, when I first saw this character on Family Guy, he was the absolute spitting image -

I'm not being cruel or mocking him, that's a pretty accurate representation. When he spoke I would smile and nod and occasionally make him a cup of tea which he seemed to like.

However, after a couple of weeks I was surprised when the Temp Agency said I wasn't to go back. It turned out that the guy in the office was my supervisor and I hadn't followed a single one of his instructions the entire time I was there.

Offices are strange places.

So in summary: you never did get to work over there?

That is quite often what Larson cartoons are showing up - the pointlessness of some aspirations or feelings.
