Description
"97 pages! From the artist of THE LI'L DEPRESSED BOY and AMBER BENSON'S AMONG THE GHOSTS, comes a retail hell story like you've never encountered before! A young artist takes a job at a department store in order to make ends meet... little does he know that he may meet his end! In this gothic story for fans of PERSEPOLIS, BLANKETS, and THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA, can the artist withstand competitive pressure, treachery, and high fashion while still keeping his soul?"Tags

The art is nice, but the story is disappointing. In a kind of episodic but not quite fashion the author tells a story about the time his car broke down and he had to get a retail job. The cut throat nature of the business starts to get to him, and his weakening resistance to high fashion makes things worse.
The whole thing is autobiographic, so I can forgive the narrow scope of everything to some degree, but none of the other characters make much of an impression, and the main character's internal monologue doesn't make him sympathetic.
The cover is of a guy in a nice suit and tentacles, so I thought this would be right up my alley, but there are no actual tentacles in the comic, just the guy living a mundane life. At least there are a show more lot of waistcoats. show less

More like skimmed. Not my kind of comic.
