Character: Riley the Black Cat
No one knows what Riley’s job is, only that things change after he appears. Silent, strategic, and eerily respected, Riley is tolerated by Donna and feared by everyone else. He dismantles office hierarchies using only posture and paperclips, then vanishes—leaving behind unsettlingly accurate reports and the faint scent of existential dread.
Yes! Send this to me each Wednesday.
About Donna Lake
If you’ve ever thought, “How am I the only adult in this room?” you’re among friends.
Donna Lake Comic is for the people who keep things moving while everyone else creates new complications. The ones who solve the problem, and keep their actual thoughts safely behind a very controlled facial expression.
It’s a sharp, heartfelt office comedy about corporate nonsense, competence fatigue, quiet leadership, and the strange amount of dignity required to function in an increasingly unreasonable workplace.
Welcome to Donna Lake.
