Character: Finley the Goldfish
Floating mid-air with no visible water source, Finley is the department’s anxiety in physical form. As Safety Coordinator, he narrates every meeting like a suspense thriller and panics at candles, carpets, and casual greetings. Somehow, in real emergencies, he’s shockingly competent. The rest of the time? He’s worried you’re not worried enough.
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.
