Ok. I'm lost. Who's Keith? I thought he was the annoying new hire who kisses up to Stuart but then I found out that was Josh. Sooo, who's Keith? :o

Edit: never mind that's Cooper.

Here's a wiki link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retail_%28comic_strip%29). I can never find it to read online. If you know where it is, can you link me? I really really like the comic (what I've read of it).

You might also like (our very own Apathy's) Do You Work Here? (I don't think he'll mind the plug, especially since he links it in his sig...). It updates on Monday and Thursday, and the commentary below is equally fun. I suggest going back to the beginning (don't worry, it only launched a few months ago). Read the About link, too.

Keith is the guy who made a blog inspired by Cooper's blog, but Cooper's blog was more popular. Something else happened - I missed the end of that story arc - and the two have been bitter enemies since.

I hope it goes into book format soon. I wouldn't mind buying that! :)

In the meantime check out Pretending You Care (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Pretending-You-Care/Norman-Feuti/e/9781401308902/?itm=1)

I was looking at it last weekend (but I was in <ahem> a different bookstore than my own so I didn't buy it there). When I get over to my own company's store I will pick it up :)

Kieth is the Elitist of the bunch. He knows he's not cut out to be management, but thinks he's better than everyone there. A while ago, (shortly after his introduction) he made a blog that was a carbon copy of Coopers but him posting in an over the top manner, and self flooding with comments. In a bit (or is that fit) of anger, Cooper let a virus loose on the site, effectively trashing it. Kieth has been bitter since, and used Cooper's retreat against him. Cooper called the police and Kieth has been fire and banned from the store. Sadly, Cooper had to sacrifice his hideout for the cause.

speaking of retail... i'm irritated... the SL Trib stopped printing it... grr, they replaced it with some piece of shit thing that is so unamusing I've read it once and never read it again... I'm not sure if I could even think of hte name it was so uninspiring... :mad:
