Why do any of them socialize with Rita outside of work? She's practically a sociopath with vary little to no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Maybe she makes people hang out with her because if they don't they will be mysteriously "laid off".

Sluggo is lucky to live in a country where poverty is kind of a joke. Lighten up poor people just put on some Kojak. Who loves you baby?

Because it's a lovely workplace "comedy" where nobody knows any human beings at all except the ones they work with.

See you could make a decent joke about Sluggo being a hobo child(was he always meant to be that way or is that just how boys in the 30s dressed?) but Gilchrist is always just using every character in the strip for out of place nostalgia porn.

I've seen the chips themselves be called Nachos. Served plain with a side of cheese. It's not too uncommon here in Ohio.

Nachos are the combination of chips and melted cheese and if Ohio disagrees i am going to burn Ohio to the ground.

I would not be surprised if Sluggo has already made a "I was poor before it was cool to be poor" "joke" at some point during Gilchrist's run.
