Biglaw Just Got A Surprising New Mascot

This is incredible.

088retsukoWelcome Aggretsuko the Red Panda to your life, because the new mascot of the hard-drinking, rage-fueled Biglaw life is brought to you by the most unlikely source imaginable.

Hello Kitty?

Really?

It should shock no one to learn that I’m not really a Sanrio aficionado. As far as I knew, the company makes cutesy garbage that little girls put on their lunch boxes. If the characters had any adventures at all, I assumed Hello Kitty would talk to a Penguin about sharing or going to the doctor some other childish s**t. So imagine my surprise when I learned that the company introduced a pitch-perfect junior associate character, a single twentysomething rife with unending professional sadness, repressed rage, and a pronounced alcohol problem.

Here’s what she does after her boss piles more work on her desk:

Seriously, this is Hello Kitty these days. Getting drunk and bitching about working unending billable hours.
