comics delay

Refers to an impromptu pause in labors that involve old newspapers --- such as cleanup or padding --- to read cartoons that you happen across as you're separating the leaves of the journals prior to using the paper sheets for their intended purpose in your task.
My boss takes a dim view of comics delays, so I just save out any newspaper-sheets that have cartoons on them, and then peruse said funnies during my coffee breaks.

I don't see how this isn't intended to do explicitly that.
Hym "I mean, if the lawyers need to sign as a guarantee that the filing isn't being used to Harass, Cause Unnecessary Delay, or Increase The Cost of Litigation then why am I being harassed? Why is me getting paid being unnecessarily delayed? And I don't really care about the cost of litigation but I did have to sit here with fluid in my brain for months. It's still there! Less now. I don't feel like my cognition is impaired as much. But I can still hear it slamming against the back of my ear drum... So, you're saying they can't do it but they're doing it. Exactly what this is intended to do. Harass, Cause Unnecessary Delay, or Increase The Cost of Litigation. And avoid having to bring me my money."
