These take me back to the dark ages of my own retail experiences: especially taking inventory. Once it was of 10,000 pairs of shoes. Later, at a different job, it was inventory of sewing machine parts and accessories.
For the first, I was the manager with one missing pair of shoes. Yes, one pair. There were receipts for the ones that had flown the coup. The rest were on the shelves. All but one pair.
For the second, I was but a funky. I preferred flunky-ism. It was my second day on the job. The first was orientation. Therefore, anything missing was hardly my fault.
As is customary with me, this is more rambling than commentary. Ah well.
Love the comments on boxes and posters. They feel like "side-stories" inside the story, and remind me of Bloom County whereas Walt Kelly often drew similarly layered scenes.
I've been enjoying your work for about a year now, so I appreciate it when you give us some background on characters. Have you considered putting together a book of your works so we could see how things started and how they have evolved?
I lived without central heat and air for 5 years in Charleston, SC. It was awful. I was finally able to afford a new unit last year and it was worth the huge price tag. Never doing that again.
I just Googled Jim Randall. The top 3 hits are:
1. A celebrated Tuskegee Airmen veteran
2. An American serial killer
3. An influential 20th-century American historian
When you have a popular name, Google is full of doppelgängers, not all of whom you’d want to meet in a dark alley.
1. All your comics are good
2. Thanks for teaching us about Mr. Thompson
3. Your survey is missing the answer "Yes, because not only do I not catch on fire, I enjoy grilling to a nice deep brown."
4. Enjoy your vacation.
No pleasure, no rapture, no exquisite sin greater... than central air.

1. I only read your comics to see Tabby.
2. That's all.
3. Also, no, never mind.

I love your comics, new and old! Thanks for making me smile this morning!!😄
Thank you so much!

Two legends in one sentence. Thank you!

I have! Adding a book to my workload has been more challenging than I thought, but I will try to make it happen this year.
Ah, the chain of retail command. I almost sorta-kinda missing being a link therein. Or not. I'll ask my one-up.
Yes, you did it again and enjoy your time off!
I was responsible for inventory at a hospital inpatient pharmacy. The blister pads were fine, but oh the big pass around bottles!

So glad you are now conditioned airily. South Carolina is beautiful, but that heat makes you want to camp out in the movie theater.
