I mean, I could assume that he's yet another of the entirely interchangeable characters this comic is full of, but what if he isn't? The old assistant manager got a real job, so this is the new assistant manager.

It's a surprisingly not-terrible story arc that begins here. http://retailcomic.com/comics/march-21-2016/ And runs for several weeks.

Don't worry, it will all come together over the next year as sycophantic lackey comes to realize that evil district manager was wrong all along and that righteous and noble slacker and those other guys are the ones keeping the whole corporation afloat despite the meddling of evil district manager and ignorant customer.

Honestly, it's not as bad as all that. The district manager is incredibly 2-dimensionally evil, but everyone else is pretty reasonable.

Retail is pretty good low-grade humor and catharsis for anyone who worked retail for any length of time, especially in management. It's like Dilbert used to be for office drones. It's not great, but it's still better than half the other crap available.

I had a district manager once who couldn't find any issues with the electronics department, so he took a piece of paper out of one of the demo printers when he thought nobody was looking, tossed it on the floor, and had the electronics guy pick it up. He seems pretty in-character to me.

When I worked fast food in high school, my coworkers and boss were much more cartoonish than the workers portrayed here. Off the top of my head: - Delivery driver got in a verbal argument with a customer and threw a pizza at him, then ran away when the guy threatened to beat his rear end. - Line worker was always incredibly high. One day, either due to highness or just teenagerness, he decided to get fired by wiping his hands all over everyone's faces and walking out the door. - Boss would often attempt to schedule shifts for high school students during the school day and would ask offended if you suggested this was not reasonable. - When I gave my notice, three weeks before I planned to leave, my boss demanded I stay at least a month, so he had time to find someone to replace me. I told him, no, I wasn't missing the first week of college classes in another state. - Said boss also would bring up his miscarried child randomly in arguments with his staff. - The assistant manager did not give a gently caress either way and hid in the back and collected scale models of nascar cars. - A customer on the phone once threatened to 'break' me for not accepting her expired coupon.

Tell me about it. I'm catching up, and I got to the comic where the new assistant manager is upset that people aren't working towards sales or add-on goals and my eye just started twitching.

 F Minus  Looks like one of those darn hipster haircuts the kids get these days to me! Mary Worth  Dawn, you spend every spare moment with him, and you call him by his first name, not "Professor Jones" like everyone else does. You don't get to be a bitch about people making assumptions. Rex Morgan MD  So thanks to RMMD and this thread, I learned some homes are still wired in the old style, and it can cause more problems than I would have thought. You never know where you'll learn new stuff. Secret Agent X-9  His landlord is half parrot. Apartment 3-G  "Anyone who sends such beautiful flowers can't be all bad."  God LuAnn is so easy.

It seems the writer on Rex Morgan, MD just changed, which might explain why the carefully set up "Rex buys a house" arc seems to have abruptly ended.

Evil Mastermind posted:I'm safe in assuming that Where I work, at this point he's probably looking at an uphill battle to convince the ethics office that they are not, in fact, engaged in an "amorous relationship," which would have required them to both self-report to said ethics office ASAP to make sure he was no longer in a evaluative position regarding her course work. He should've already begun the process of self-policing in order to avoid the appearance of a non-existent amorous relationship and they would most likely point to clauses regarding multiple party interpretations as something he should've been keeping in mind. It can get a little hazy (Getting lunch with your research advisor and being on a first name basis with them is no big deal when you're a grad student, although the yoga thing would still raise some eyebrows and in any case Dawn is an undergrad) but in general he's loving up. That said, unless Mary Worth throws a hell of a swerve I'm expecting 100% of the conflict to revolve around Dawn's interactions with other students because she's so buddy buddy with Dr. Jones.

It's OK, just, not great (plus, my source is drying up). I'll be replacing it with Mopsy, Gladys Parker's strip that started in 1939. I have strips that started in January, 1940 in the Spokane Daily Chronicle. While Flapper Fanny was a strip that Parker took over from another artist, Mopsy was all hers, and I think it shows. wikipedia posted:Mopsy was a comic strip created in 1939 by Gladys Parker, who was one of the few female cartoonists of the era. The strip had a long run over three decades. Parker modeled the character of Mopsy after herself. In 1946, she recalled, "I got the idea for Mopsy when the cartoonist Rube Goldberg said my hair looked like a mop. That was several years ago, and she has been my main interest ever since."
