Socialist Grocery September 2023

In an 8-panel comic part of the series Socialist Grocery by Oli Knowles, Sebastian is first seen sizing up a canvas with their brush while their manager watches. Sebastian Narrates "This week, I've been working on some sign painting for the store - doing a little less shelf stocking. But it means I end up hanging out with all my managers on their smoke breaks.  In the top right panel, Sebastian says, "Hey, did you know Matt was on Conan in 1996?" The manager responds, "Yep. Everyone knows. But did you know I was on a Lego robotics commercial in 1999?" Proceeding to the middle left panel Sebastian on their phone as the manager looks on says, "Wait, I'm looking it up. Youtube has a Lego robotics commercial - but it's from 1997." The manager quips back, "That's not it." Sebastian responds, "I want to watch it anyway." The center middle panel zooms to Sebastian's phone, showing a robot moving through a bathroom. The video narrates, "With new Lego robotics, program and build a car that takes digital photos. With perfect timing!" The middle left panel continues showing Sebastian's phone but now the robot is looking into the camera. A woman appears behind a shower curtain confused in the bottom left panel. In the bottom middle panel, the robot's lens is shown and goes, "SNAP!!" The final panel shows Sebastian holding their phone and their manager looking on, both saying in confusion, "What the fuck?"

Socialist Grocery

In a 9-panel comic part of the Socialist Grocery series by Oli Knowles, Sebastian the main character works the cash register at a grocery. In the first panel a man walks up and says, "Hey. Just buying these two things." The top right panel shows Sebastian's view of the man's shirt plastered with big letters "Blackrock". The middle left most panel shows Sebastian quizzically asking the man, "So... Do you... Uh...Work for Blackrock?" In the middle panel the man tugs at his shirt, "Oh! I sued to, last year. Didn't realize I wore this." In the middle right panel Sebastian asks, "Well... What do you do now?" The man responds, "I work at a lab that's trying to cure cancer." In the bottom left panel the man seen from behind speaks to Sebastian at the register, "When I worked at Blackrock, we played this game" , "With new hires: we asked them to each randomly name a terrible company-" The next panel a half cut row panel shows the man, "-Then we asked them to name something terrible the company's doing. Sure enough, every time Blackrock's behind it!" The lower half left panel shows the man receiving his items from Sebastian, the man continues, "Wait. Wait. Wait. This shirt is why I'm getting side-eye all day!" Sebastian in the last panel seen in side profile says, "Yes - Absolutely."
