Part 2

He crept slowly toward the ICEE haven and wondered if he should wait for the family to leave or just go for it.

He woke up in a daze, feeling like he was looking through red tinted glasses he glanced around the cave. Bewilderment took him over. What happened? He saw numerous large ICEE cups strewn about along with several pairs of children’s socks. Those socks, it was all coming back to him now. He had decided to enter the 7-Eleven with an overbearing sweetness. He walked on his toes as if he was avoiding stepping on snails. Making his way towards the ICEE machine he pretended to have a hat and took it off and bowed towards the sales clerk. Tip-toeing towards bliss he noticed children stood in his way. They had already filled their cups but were drinking them quickly and kept going back for more. “If the apocalypse came today would you be ready?” the bear asked the children. At this, they stared at him, sticky sweetness dripping from their faces. “Would you?” asked the oldest. The bear hadn’t expected this. Alarmed but trying to stay calm, he said, “Well I would if only I had some shoes.” Looking down at the children’s feet, he said “Yours will do!” Then quicker than any bear he swiped their shoes and their ICEES and made his way out the way he came in, making sure to bow his head to the clerk as he left, to which the clerk just shook his head.

Part 1

The bear hurried down the mountain hungering for more than hikers. He stopped at the pavement and sniffed the air. What he sought was nearby. He started scampering across the road, looking both ways to watch for oncoming traffic and head down the side of the road heading east. Coming around the bend his pace slowed as the 7-Eleven came into sight. His anticipation had him breathing hard and fast. “Calm yourself old bear or they’ll never let you in.” No one wants a wheezing bear in their stores, frightens potential customers away. He walked the rest of the way so he could catch his breath and maybe sneak in undetected. When he was but 20 feet from his destination, an RV pulled into the parking and four kids popped out with their parents. “WE WANT ICEES! WE WANT ICEES!” the children were chanting. Hearing this sent the bear into a state of panic, he wanted ICEES as well. What if there weren’t enough? A bear can consume a lot, but kids can be downright greedy, he didn’t want to have to attack the children for theirs. Though, he was of course prepared to do so, if that’s what it came to. This wasn’t his first time at the rodeo, or the 7-Eleven in this case.

Fright Night at BevMo!




So there's been stories of spooky happenings at BevMo. So the store is haunted. Tonight Jen and I were the only ones in the store, and this store is huge. We were walking to the front from the break room after clocking out and we heard a bang in the middle of the store and there was nothing there! DUN DUN DUN! And we both looked at each other and said 'Did you hear that?'. Confirmed that we both heard it, and we walked hurriedly next to the each other the entire time to set the alarm. When we got to the manager booth we heard another noise farther back and decided to get out of there. We caught our breath outside and hoped that it wasn't just a lost customer in the very back that neither of us had seen during the hour that'd we'd been closing. But since we both went to the back several times and the doors were locked it's not likely. SPOOKY!

Never Gonna Give You Up

There's something weird and slightly hard in my hair. Ugh price tag. I did so much work today it's ridiculous. I'm tired, sick, and hungry but not. And unwashed. Must shower before 8 am tomorrow because corporate bigwigs are coming when the store opens at 9 and uggggggghhhhhhh I need to look good..ish. My tire is losing air and I need it filled. Might have to wash these dirty pants. And get enough sleep unlike last night. It's all so overwhelming I felt like crying all day at work. And wanting to cry and wanting to murder an incompetent coworker at the same time is a very odd feeling. Well I'm gonna publish this and come out. I'll post some new comics either tonight or tomorrow whenever I feel like not dying.

So here it is...

...the special post. So no more calling me asshole, asshole. So this is what I spend some days doing at work. These are all customer inspired drawerings I've done and put up for everyone to enjoy. I'll try to do more, just gotta wait for the inspiration in the form of ridiculous customers. Let me know what ya'll think of mah pikchers. Oh yeah and here's some pictures from a play day at the park.




Actually we heard you were coming and put that there cause we hate you.



(that would be a knocked over display of wine, liquor, whatever customers walk into)

'That's dangerous to have that there, whoever put that there should've known that I would be walking there and put it in the space next to it. It's not my fault, my legs knocked it over, not me! You should tell your manager how dangerous it is to have something where I plan on walking.

Oh and do you have this great, I think it was wine, that I had in this hilltop cafe in some country I can't remember the name of?'

Uggggggggh.

Yeah, but I'm just hanging out at this register for my health.



'Are you open down here?'

Obviously exagerrated for humor, but seriously, happens all day long.
