Summary

This comic strip, originally published in 1997, features a woman who is frustrated with her inability to focus on work due to distractions. She attempts to find a solution by:

• Asking her husband to eat a whole jar of pickles
• Hoping that the loud sound of him eating will be enough to distract her from her work

However, her plan ultimately fails, and she remains unable to concentrate. The comic strip humorously highlights the challenges of working from home and the creative (albeit unsuccessful) measures people take to overcome distractions.
