The sitcom stereotype of fat doofus husband and thin hot wife applies to comics as well.

He did publish a coffee table book, but it was of his Spider-Man photos. (Which is kind of unrealistic, actually, because no loving way would JJJ ever let a freelancer retain rights to the photos he sells.)
Probably the ones JJJ rejected. Half the time he comes in with pictures Jonah just throws them out because they don't show Spider-Man collaborating with a villain or because there's a new bad guy around so he doesn't want pictures of the last one or whatever.

So Sam's going to wake up in the pulp jungle whatever from the beginning of the strip, meaning that after a year and a half the comic's finally going to actually start!

Surely the Retail guy understands his comic strip doesn't have the necessary amount of character in his characters to have a character driven plot
Like the characters are the one guy who hates working retail and that lady who hates working retail and their boss who is an out of touch manager and that's it

I think it's a thing for people having a second (or third, fourth, whatever) wedding, especially the older generation, to wear a color that isn't white for that wedding.

That said, it's a pretty ugly wedding dress.

Always searching for North.

This idea may have been raised in the thread before and I forgot about it, but reading this Dustin made me think that the guys writing the strip don't really understand the difference between a temp agency and a recruiter/head hunter, do they? Because what's we see is Dustin always taking any job he can get, no matter how menial or brief, but it's always presented as he's such a lazy bum that he can't hold down a job.

And it manages to be sugary sweet without being nauseating, unlike certain other comics(Rose is Rose, modern Nancy) that try to be sugary sweet but are really just eye-rolling.
