Mike Bookseller

Mike: Bookseller is a gag-a-day webcomic written and drawn by Mike Lugaresi about working in retail. In this comic, Mike and his friends must survive stupid management, annoying co-workers, and of course, angry and unintelligent customers. Recurring characters include Mike's brother, Jason, Benevolent Boss Fab, the incredibly annoying Carol, and Pointy-Haired Boss Lark. Can be found at krrobar.com
