Under Medvedevelopment

i was working at a little cafe where I could deny service over bad behavior, harassment etc. & mask mandates had just ended a week before & already people were being weird about me still wearing mine—an N95, the kind shaped kinda like a duckbill.

so this man walked in, looked at me sooo scathingly, laughed at me, and said “damn. never known a woman to choose…practicality over looks.”

And I just said, “oh. you can go, you’re not getting a drink.” And he said, “what???”

I said, “sir, you just walked in at 6 am & called women impractical and me ugly in one sentence.”

"Why do you still have Christmas music on? The holidays are over."

"I'm not in charge of the music, ma'am, that's at inventory's discretion."

"Where are your art supplies?"

I point in their direction. "Right over there, ma'am."

She checks. "Is this all you have?"

"At the moment, yes."

"I can't believe this is what you charge!"

"Prices are set by the buyer, ma'am."

"I can get these cheaper at a store downtown."

"You're welcome to shop there instead."

Full Karen mode ensues. The buyer, Tara, steps out of her office.

"Excuse me, what's going on here?"

"This cashier has been rude to me" blah-blah-blah.

I'd been working there over a year, by this point; my personality was well-known to the staff.

"What happened?" she asked me. I tell her everything start to finish.

"Ma'am, I have to agree with him. If you don't like our music, selection, or prices, you don't have to shop here. Please leave."

Once the hair grew back, one of my fellow math majors pointed at my ear and asked, "Did you always have that, or is it new?"

The same giveaway is happening on Instagram!

My roommate, who also worked there, suggested we come up with a parody thereof, and we came up with an idea that the title character should bear witness to a criminal stuffing something into a tree hole before taking off. Being innocent, this little bunny would have no reference for police or anything like that, but he's curious about what went in the hole.

He finds a sack of white powder, and assumes it's sugar. He takes it home and makes icing for a cake he baked. The consistency doesn't look quite right, so he gives it a taste.

Thank you for the support you've shown this project on Tumblr. I've found it's easier for me to keep one comic archive active, hence I've chosen to stick with the custom site I have up on Comic Fury.

You may follow the comic directly there, or follow any of my social media linked on the main site for page update notifications.

We're back from hiatus as of today, and there will be consistent updates for the foreseeable future.

Hiiiiii
