Legitimately, as long as you aren't stealing or harassing employees anyone who works retail is just going to treat it as another day. Gives us things to talk about to the new hires!
I regret not being there the day we had a streaker run through my store.
I had a lady doing cocaine in the bathroom in my first week. A senior just brushed it into a trashcan and called it a day after she was kicked out. I also saw my uncle shoplifting. Weirdly, I miss that job.
He makes her look like him, makes her unable to leave the job during the shift while he goes home early. She consequently is confused staring at herself in the bathroom mirror while new customers come in and demand service.
The manager hears the commotion, comes in and screams at her to get back to work. She get's screamed at all day both from customers and the manager and after the shift she turns back to herself.
You got a fantastic setup for a lineage of fun comics by using this idea as a general setup. Please continue making more of these with this Dark Elf. Become a new legacy.
And so Naznarul changed reality so that the customer wasn't lying. You could read this as the delf punishing the guy for lying, but I think he just took both the manager and customer statements literally.
At first I thought he fully just died then, with a clone being produced, but then I realised that would have made his claim "It's MY birthday" incorrect; it would instead have been the birthday of the clone. This means that Naznarul actually rebirthed his body while retaining his mind and soul
So.. is there now a second copy of that guy? Or was his brain basically transferred into this new hatched version of himself, leaving the old one behind as a drained corpse, and the new version is the only remaining one who was "born" on that day now?
Damn. See, that's what I thought at first but checked Wikipedia and they had it as the order I drew it. But now I'm seeing that's the only place that has it in that order. I trusted you Wikipedia. I trusted you!
This is by far my favorite part and I loved the whole comic. It's so creative. Now let's see if I got them all right:
Sonic, McDonald's, Chipotle(?), Orange Julius, Subway?
The i in the middle is the only one I'm unsure of.
As a former retail employee, who literally had people argue with me, "But the customer is always right" BS, this hits close to home.
I'm lucky in that I had access to internet and knew the full quote. So, I'd look it up while listening to them, flip my screen around, and ask them to read the entire quote and explanation:
"The customer is always right in matters of taste" means that when it comes to personal preference and what someone finds aesthetically pleasing, the customer's opinion is considered correct, even if you might not agree with it; essentially, you should respect their subjective choice because taste is personal.
I worked in a fucking electronics store (Radio Shack) and aesthetics didn't really matter there. And what they wanted to argue with me was over what would work with what (they never did work together that way) or that I had to give them a discount or return the wrong merchandise. The worst was a guy who bought a 5 disc DVD changer\player and tried to return his old on that only did 3; cover in cock roaches I might add. He even went so far as to hire a lawyer and private investigator. Thankfully we not only had witnesses but also video evidence of time of purchase and return.
You’ve got a great style, so much detail and character in every face! I appreciate the level of time and effort this must have taken. Worth it. That single panel Page 8 got me good.
TIL duck is the innermost fowl of a turducken. Always figured the chicken was inside the duck given the order of word roots in the portmanteau. Should call it a turckenuck. Or duckenkey.
If you've never had a turducken, claimed to have been created by Hebert’s Meats in Maurice, Louisiana and a yearly feature shown by John Madden, it's a stuffed deboned chicken put with stuffing into a deboned duck, then put into a deboned turkey (optionally the turkey wings and back quarters are left with bones) then baked. It takes forever to prep and cook while being incredibly easy to screw up and give people food poisoning. Turducken is tasty when pulled off, and a slice takes up most of a dinner plate. Having said all that, I want to go to this restauran, because I will not be making one again (no one got sick), and if you do want to make it, I suggest doing a turducken roll (cut to be flat, layered, and rolled, tied, and baked) to cut down on the headache.
I follow you here, on Insta and DA. I was just lucky to catch this strip here first. Unfortunately not familiar enough with Dork Elves to know if the rebirthing is canonically accurate.
Comics are a medium used to express ideas with images, often combined with text or other visual information. It typically takes the form of a sequence of panels of images. Textual devices such as speech balloons, captions, and onomatopoeia can indicate dialogue, narration, sound effects, or other information.
Customer lies about his birthday to get free ice cream. Wizard is sworn to make the customer right, so the wizard dutifully enchants the customer to respawn via some painful nether process, making today their new birthday. He hands them a free cone, and begins serving the next customer.

Oh I really hope Naznarul is an ongoing series. That was too good!
