I can't wait to see what happens next!

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

That story arc has ended, at least for the time being.

Does anyone have a link to the Zoe storyline comics? I need to refresh...

[Tama]

That just means they can't go to the coffee shop anymore. Boo!

There's always soda, I guess.

Eh, still worth it to shitcan Courtney after all this time... I had been waiting for it a long time.

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

I thought it would never happen, because IMO Courtney was, sadly, probably the most relatable character in the strip.

Seriously, who in retail hasn't worked with a Courtney, and watched them hang on to their job way too long?

[Jay 2K Winger]

Watch closely, there'll probably be a replacement Courtney (if not the Return of Courtney) eventually.

What if the replacement is a hot male version who can seduce Marla into giving him what he wants?

Might make for an interesting week-long arc or so.

Might be funnier if he thinks he can do this, with her seeming to fall for it, until the reveal that A-- she's happily married and has a child, and B-- she knew what he was doing and just wanted him to keep digging himself deeper.

.. just wanted him to keep dicking himself deeper.

Fixed ya.

Fixed for you, IPF. I can't recall a job where I didn't have at least one Courtney as a CW....and come to think of it wondered how these individuals remained CW's.

It's usually a case of Beloved Asshole Syndrome.

That and spineless (or resistant) HR syndrome.

Just finished reading through the entire Retail comic series that's been done so far. Very entertaining. Lunker is my favorite character as he reminds me a bit too much of myself.
