It’s that frantic time of year again; even though everyone has already maxed out their credit cards they cram them selves back into the shops trying to spend even more money. Sure, there are great discounts to be made, but as figure. 3 shows, just because someone is reduced in price doesn’t necessarily mean it’s worth buying the first place. There are scary types of women, figure. 2, who run around the shops buying up everyone reduced handbag in sight, I presume to eat. Why else would a person need 21 handbags?
I always go to the sale, hoping to get a bargain, actually having saved a bit of money for the expressed reason. Unfortunately the smug feeling I have from being the only one in a shop not ridiculously in debt soon goes away when I try to find some clothes that I like. The problem with sales is that it is all end of line stuff, the things no one wanted to buy first time round. Is by chance there is something that I like, it won’t fit. In my experience sales are only good for giants, midgets, clinically obese and those willing to camp outside the night before the sale starts to get in the store first. And I am not any of the above.

So that was the first post of the new year. Hopefully you have enjoyed the comic in 2007 and will come back for more in 2008! It’s a new and there’s plenty more to rant about. Speaking of new years, it’s a new month, and that means that the stats have been reset at buzzcomics and topwebcomics. I’m going to ask you guys for some help this month, it’s the same old drill. You can vote for the comic using the buttons in the left column, you can vote once per day and each vote pushes me up the top list a little bit, meaning more people come to the site. To help persuade you to vote I’ll try and put a little extra something for the people who voted to see. Kind of like a reward, a crappy reward. The first is a picture I drew earlier today whilst thinking about cookies. If you want to see it, click here or here, and if you want to see it twice, click them both =)
