Noise Cancellation

I swear I never use our headsets for this purpose. I swear! Stop rolling your eyes!

Seriously, though, I really do wish I could use our headsets for the purposes of drowning out the droning of Shoppers, but I have noticed that the Shopper finds this offensive, for some odd reason, though it really is not my fault that I find their shrieks utterly annoying at times. Most of the time. All of the time.

Throwback Thursday: Black Friday

Here is another early retail comic sketch that I did a couple of years ago, before I fleshed out the characters and the store dynamic. At a small shop like Aviation Supply Company, they would probably not participate in the Day Which Shall Not Be Named. There is not much reason for it, since it is a small shop, and most Shoppers abandon the smaller stores in favor of big box retailers offering ridiculous special pricing. It just would not fit the current dynamic in the webcomic as it currently sits. But, since we are nearly to the Day Which Shall Not Be Named, I figured I would share this with all of you. Note that the only character who has remained the same is Poe. I went ahead and framed it up for y’all to give you a better idea of how it was supposed to look. Enjoy, comrades!
