I was like, you have to do this because I knew he was a big fan of The Office. So I was like, look, you have to do this. My L Gormalin, he is the one who actually did the drawings, but I was on calls with Glenn, his whole team and my L every week. That was my favorite part of this for, I don't know, two, three months.
We would have like a two hour call and talk about every image and what it looked like and how the characters were developed. And that was really fun to do.
I'm so glad that you mentioned that because when the first drawing started coming in, the thing that I kept catching inside of me, I was like, where are we? Where exactly are we backed by the accountants? And so that was my first... major and only sort of note about that was the architecture of the space is so important.
Like I want to know where we are within this layout that everybody knows so well. Most of the people who read this will understand it. So he took that and like flew with it, including exactly what you just brought up. Like we're coming into the book and
And so the angle, the perspective is us entering Dunder Mifflin from that classic, like we see the Jim and Dwight clump and Michael's office and the painting on the wall.
Well, obviously. It's really fun.
Yeah, I would say that it would be like a middle-of-the-road episode of The Office. So it's not like sexual harassment or diversity day or Scott's Tots or a dinner party.

That's true.
That's true. But yes, it is intended to be an office fan keepsake. Yes. Not specifically for a four-year-old. It's not a children's book. That's right.
Well, I think you can guess. I will tell you the rhyming and like having a legit rhyme is often not as easy as you think that it might be. And so I had constructed how I wanted it to end. And there were words that was a specific word that was really difficult to rhyme with. And then, well... What was it? You'll have to read it. The button became. You'll have to read it.
But that is.
It was. And I think it turned out better, particularly along with the illustration. But yes, it came out of an inability to rhyme a certain word.
Yes.
Yes. Again, it's not a – because some people have asked like, oh, which episode is it? Like it's not a specific episode. There are nods to certainly iconic moments from characters throughout the show or specific character traits from characters throughout the show as well as all of the Office Christmas episodes.
It's for fans.
Thank you so much. Happy holidays to all of you out there and to all a good night. No, I don't know.
Oh, yes, there is. Yes, there is. There it is. If you don't want to read to your children who are old enough for this book, well, you can have me do it for you.
All right. Thanks, guys. Thanks for having me.
