Character: Dash the Penguin

Dash (formally Dashwell Peabody), the Supply Chain Accessioner, believes “Dash” makes him sound sleek. He is not. Frequently found wedged in filing cabinets or skidding through conference rooms, Dash solves problems by accident and fixes things by breaking them. He signs emails with a lightning bolt—with no irony whatsoever.

About Donna Lake

The Donna Lake Comic Strip follows a quietly fierce department head trying to lead with dignity, despite corporate curveballs, chaos-prone staff, and a workplace that keeps getting weirder. It’s a sharp, heartfelt office comedy with a surreal streak and a deep respect for the ones who hold it all together.
