Comic Strip of the Day

CSotD: Retail development

Retail

For several weeks now, Retail has been starting a secondary storyline about its main character, Marla, and her impending marriage. That should send up all sorts of warning flags, since the strip has been tightly focused on retailing, but (1) if Norm Feuti brings the same cynical reality to weddings that he's brought to management and customers, this may be a fun side trip and (2) Marla's social life has never really been part of the strip, so there is nothing to be lost as there generally is when a character's love life changes.

Also, (3), he's never been afraid to quietly jettison a thread that isn't working out.

  1. I agree that a cynical take on wedding planning could make this a great storyline. The genius of “Retail” has always been that flash of recognition, that the comic could almost be about the reader’s own life.
    As I’ve mentioned on my own blog, today’s comic captures almost exactly how my wife and I planned our wedding. Definitely looking forward to seeing where he goes with it.
