Introducing Donna Lake: Your New Midweek Obsession

If you’ve ever led a team, faked a smile through a meeting, or silently questioned your entire career while staring into your coffee… Donna Lake is your people.

Created by Tamara Bissell (the same quirky brain and pen behind Pithitude) Donna Lake is a weekly webcomic that takes a hilariously surreal look at life in the workplace. It’s absurd enough to laugh at, and biting enough to relate to.

And it’s already got a following — with new episodes dropping every Wednesday.

Who is Donna Lake?

Donna is a middle-aged department head. She’s capable, composed, and just barely holding it together. Her team? A cast of wildly unfiltered animal coworkers who specialize in “helpful” chaos, passive aggression, and HR unmentionables.

Witness:
🦝 A raccoon with an emotional support pinecone
🐱 A cat with his own agenda (naturally)
🐟 A neurotic goldfish obsessed with safety manuals
… and a boss just trying to stay human through it all.

Why We’re Telling You This

Because if you love Pithitude, you’re going to fall hard for Donna.

She’s got the same dry wit. The same “say what we’re all thinking” energy. The same hand-drawn charm, straight from Tamara’s pen.

But this time, it’s a story. With characters. And commentary. And a painfully relatable blog called From Donna’s Desk that reads like your best friend’s inner monologue after a rough Tuesday.
