Pancho Jueves posted:"All I want to do is pretend I'm as athletic as I was in high school and not 50 pounds heavier with knees of porcelain, I don't know why everyone's so negative!" Please please please, let it be that Ed misread without his glasses and he's signed up for a pole dance class (b/c who the gently caress has ever heard of pole vault classes in adult ed  ). I'd forgive this comic at least a few of its sins if it made Ed extremely uncomfortable for a week run.

Archduke Frantz Fanon posted:Old man mozz gave one of the bandar warriors a gun and jampa's location I hate that I'm even remotely invested in this Mozz prophecy horseshit storyline, but my guess is still that (somehow) it's going to be Diana behind the Bandar warriors showing up, rather than Mozz. We had that whole thing where Mozz gave Phantom the wrong book to hide in the mausoleum, followed by Diana asking him questions that would enable her to read the propecy without him telling her it (thus keeping his side of the deal not to tell her it). So, she reads the prophecy herself, goes out and talks to Guran, sends a fuckload of Bandar after him to change his fate, and spits in the eye of prophecy. Bonus points if somehow Savarna dies instead, thus eliminating one of the very few entertaining characters in this whole hosed up mess of a comic.

Really, you should just be ashamed of yourself.  (I love your comics and translations. Thanks for doing it.)

Darthemed posted:Retail Oh man, I forgot about this comic. It's painfully true in my experience. Back in 2006, I applied to JC Penny's because I had an 8-month gap between when I finished undergrad and when grad school was starting. I was going back for biological/biomedical engineering graduate study, and applying for the men's section as a long summer job basically. The interviewer was very blunt about it during the interview: Paraphrased: "Why should she hire even consider someone with actual career options beyond retail?" She didn't want anyone with any leverage whatsoever.

Murdstone posted:The Phantom I'm not gonna blame the fill-in artist since I'm sure he or she was given notes, but the main writer & artist reallllly horn it up for Savarna, don't they? It's downright awkward. Gotta say though, if this lovely-rear end arc hadn't somehow taken like four IRL years to get through, trying to dodge a future with a Savarna lineage of phantoms only to have your son fall for her instead would be a kind of ending. But nope, gently caress everything about all of this.

Malachite_Dragon posted:Its less trying to dodge a Savarna line and more trying to dodge the line ending entirely; The current one would be dead, even after pumping babbies into her, and the ring et al would be in the hands of Kit after his guerilla fighters killed his dad, and you know drat well he would not be giving them back. Yeah I forgot that part with Kit getting the ring. This loving plotline.

CzarChasm posted:How did that work with overtime and whatnot? My first retail job the store was pretty consistently staffed, so overtime basically didn't happen. 2nd one, they made sure it didn't happen. I know home office doesn't like to be shown conflicts in their logic, and it probably didn't come up often, but if my store had to pay an hour of overtime to at least 1 person (manager usually salaried, so they don't count) questions would be raised. Honestly, I'm not sure any of us were given enough hours to get overtime. Maybe some of the long-timers, but as a summer seasonal worker, I was min-wagers at 35 hours a week tops. I never had enough hours to get OT.
