I'm actually glad to say that I'm not familiar with District Managers, I feel no shame in being wrong about that.
A few months into Penny Arcade we had every intention of branching out into a second strip called Retales, but when I told people about it they said that User Friendly did office humor about as good as it could be done. I really didn't know how to respond to that.
We did eventually find an outlet for those stories, years later, in the pilot episode we wrote for a Penny Arcade animated series.
