Working Daze doesn't wear long sleeves because that would require drawing the character differently.


This awful character somehow manages to give fat, bald, badly-dressed nerds a bad name. I hate him and I hate everyone in this comic who treats him with any humanity whatsoever. Kill all Working Daze. Thank you.

The people in the GoComics comments are all hoping this does get OMD-ed because they want Rip to be with Cobra and hate Breezy.

But Breezy is cool? I mean I don't pay that much attention to "Rip Haywire" anymore but she's always seemed extremely tolerable, unlike a lot of the supporting cast.

If it ends up removing Breezy then I hope it's a lot more literal and the whole comic is cancelled going into reruns as soon as he does it, creating a temporal story loop.

I got curious and looked these tumblr blogs (they actually exist) after yesterday's comic. Most of the tips are about store policies that can be used against them. (For example, I have no idea of the veracity of this, but allegedly some stores have a policy that if the sales associate didn't see you come in not-wearing an article of clothing, they can't later claim you stole it when you're walking out of the store with it. Assuming, of course, that you dispose of all the tag-related evidence properly.)

You also get some hilarious posts like 'I only stole $50 worth of items and got caught, and now they're making me pay a $250 fine. This is bullshit!'

I can tell you that when it comes to Walmart, everyone except Loss Prevention or salaried management is dickless when it comes to being allowed to do anything about shoplifters.

I managed the electronics department there so I had to deal a lot with theft. I had fun outsmarting the shoplifters but I never really understood the associates that got all upset and emotional about thieves. I think it was some kind of weird Stockholm Syndrome people get from working there.

I'm pretty sure the pizza shop was in Kent, Ohio (well, technically an Akron suburb) probably because Batiuk is a Kent State University alumnus. But, I think it was a John Montoni (erroneously referred to as a "Mr. Hale" for some unknown reason which is probably bad copy editing), not Tony who ran the place IRL. He died in 2001, and here's his obit:

It's amazing how the Evanses write college as "high school, only you live there". Is going out into the woods and catching lizards a thing you do in college level Biology 101?

Well, she also hates her husband. Basically she hates her family. And her life in general.

Elly is a miserable person and knowing what we know about the author it's really weird reading that comic strip. It has a much different feel to it than when I was a kid. In a way that's why I find it so fascinating.
