This short revisits the eccentric upscale shoe store C’Est La Feet. Panel 1 gives me nightmares you guys, not even gonna lie.
Don’t forget this week hosts a Sketch Day Saturday, so pop in on Saturday for a bonus sketch.
Also, for those that are in the Springfield, Illinois area, I’d like to extend an invitation. My Senior Art Exhibition will be available for viewing April 30th, and on Thursday May 3rd there will be an opening night reception from 5:30-8pm in the Visual Arts Gallery at the University of Illinois Springfield. I will be using a collection of Selkie comics for my part of the exhibition, so if you wanna see Selkie on a gallery wall and say hello to me, this would be a good time! Mark your calendars!
I almost made Annabeth's dialogue in the last panel the chorus to "All About the Benjamins".
Lawl:)
She does realize that she’ll get caught, right?
Well, you know what they say about flashing a wad of illicitly-acquired cash.
(They say not to.)
Hmmm… I’d usually encourage people to invest a large windfall in something that will last, but in this case, the young lady is probably better advised to buy something transitory — or something that her co-workers may never find out about.
Of course the best advice would have been not to steal someone else’s commission, even if the other guy’s a jerk…
This is why you don’t forget to put your name a commission before flouncing off.
He left the order blank, and I’m willing to bet they BOTH worked on that commission with only one of them (would have been him) getting the extra pay for it.
If she had taken his name off the order, that is clear cut flat out stealing and her head should roll for it. But… he left it blank and didn’t pay attention when she called the mistake out to him.
Not saying she is correct, but she isn’t fully in the wrong either. May the consequences of her actions fall where they may.
That is so right. If she removed his name is one thing, but in the world of commission sales there are no prisoners. You blink and someone else will claim they talked to the people first. I wouldn’t be shocked if he had done the same thing to someone else.
I worked in commision sales once and the guy who tried to steal an almost $600. Commission from me insisted he had spoken to the people first. He claimed this to the district manager and manager. I won when the customers in question informed the boss that I was their son and they had no idea who the other guy was. Found out he had been taking commisions when he could from anyone he could.
Tell me he got fired…!
That’s why I don’t work for commission. 🙂 I have neither the head or
the will to tolerate such back-biting nonsense from others. Plenty of other people do and good for them.
I just reread over the past two days, the whole story from page one. After hearing that this was today’s comic. I had a small feeling it would have to do with the missing cash. Haha, well done.
Surprisingly, this happened at my previous job, about a month ago (by then I had already quit to back into college). The culprit also took my Xbox 360 and several of my games. The good news is that at least my hard drive is recoverable.
That’s terrible, sorry to hear it happened to you.
if she gets caught this will not end well
…wait. Selkie’s shoes and boots cost $1000? Holy crap. I hope one day she thanks Todd for that~
Welcome to the wonderful world of Parenthood.
Just got done shelling out $3800 for my son’s summer trip.
YES. Take that for being a dick, Gregori :).
Yup, especially with how weird shaped Selkie’s feet are. They would have to make them completely from scratch.
That’s what happens when you don’t put your name/leave your name blank on the paper work! :p I’m not saying what she did was correct, but in the fair-unfairness of paper work….
I get why the first panel gives you nightmares, I really do. I’m glad I didn’t read this right before bed. XD
Scuzzy little witch…I hate people who are so nonchalant about stealing.
She didn’t steal. She put her name on a line he left empty. If he really cared about the commission so much, he’d have filled it in.
I’m just confused. Where did this interlude come from?
It’s a pop back to the shoe store where Todd went to get shoes custom-built to fit Selkie.
I’m really impressed with your stand alone comics. To tell a complete story in so few panels is quite an accomplishment.
Not that I don’t love the overall Selkie arc, but these one-shots are really good.
I have to ask, whats with the jumping around? I understand side stories, but to completely jump around in the middle of a story arc can make it very confusing for your readers.
When I finished the Adoption Day arc, I closed it off with a Reader Request short series. I decided to continue the idea after finishing this past arc, and solicited reader requests for this week.
I keep reading Gregori’s first line in Ambassador Udina’s voice (Mass Effect character, he’s a prick too).
Oh good, I’m not the only one who thought of Udina.
I’m a Mass Effect player too, and now I can’t unhear Udina’s voice. XD
never trust anyone waering a wig.
Since I’m the one who made the request, I suppose I should comment on the comic…
This is basically what I thought it would be, but it’s still fun to see it.
Sort of random, but the webcomic Bad Machinery has a plot going involving a selkie named Ellen losing her seal skin and ending up getting “adopted” by a senile old woman. It’s pretty cute 🙂
I really need to sit down and read through Bad Machinery sometime. I loved Scary-Go-Round, but somewhere along the way I lost track of Bad Machinery.
I found Bad Machinery first, chugged through it in several days, then discovered Scary-Go-Round. After reading all that, Bad Machinery’s archives are like nothing :p
They mention in a previous comic that commission is 9%. This means the shoes and boots cost more than $400/pair.
