Retail Duncan #1
Here’s a simple way to keep “your” and “you’re” straight: if you are saying “you’re”, would it work if you switched it out with “you are”? Same thing with “your”: if “you are” fits in that spot, don’t use “your”. Sorry to start off with a rant, but if there’s one thing that’s fingernails-on-a-chalkboard annoying to me, that’s it. Well, that and the difference between “their, they’re and there”, but only rant per review is the legal limit around these parts. I mention it mostly because it’s the only thing that bugged me in an otherwise funny and occasionally insightful comic. Our hero, Duncan, needs to find a bathroom in the mall. OK, not the most promising of starts. He finds one, happens to sit next to an old friend, and ends up applying for a job. From there he’s given a series of tasks, including 18 hours of filling out a form, killing the Rancor monster, cleaning up after Lone Wolf & Cub and fighting off Chunk. If you don’t know who that is, kids, ask your parents. It’s a pretty funny comic, with a larger point or two thrown in about the whole retail experience. Maybe you should buy a copy and see for yourself? $2
