this strip speaks directly to my life!!! i too love the cute duckies at target as well as its bright shiny clean rows of awesome.
i did briefly boycott them when they said they didn't have to stock emergency contraception, and also when their new sugarfree candy made me very sick, but it probably won't last. i love you target!!!!!!
I boycotted Target for a while, because they refused to let charity Santa Clauses ring bells outside their store. Obviously Target hates children who don't have enough money to shop at Target.
Several stores did that. It wasn't anything they had against charities; they were promoting a double standard before this incident (allowing charities to stand on store grounds, but not allowing other groups that sold products; the groups complained, and Target booted Santa out).
I want to remix it, too... and I just may do that.
Before I being, though, I want to say that comics such as these are actually more difficult to remix.... way too much stuff going on. It's hard to be elegant when 3 characters are doing random stuff, and have dialogue bubbles all over the place.
Still, it's a funny comic on its own... I may just up the wacky quotient, or something. Of course, the coherence quotient is about to plummet.
Leesh-- there was such serious Target redecorating here when we moved. It all started with the Hello Kitty Toaster. It almost ended in me getting one of those sit-down Japanese style kitchen tables (at Target!! can you believe it?), but common sense prevailed.
stef--i have the hello kitty waffle iron, so i understand completely. and target's furniture has been featured on sites like design*sponge b/c it's just that cool. i can't wait to have an excuse to get some!!
by the way, supermarket sweep was a crappy game show in the us when we were kids. suburban folks would have some small amount of time in which to fill their shopping carts at the supermarket, and the one whose cart turned out to be the most expensive won free groceries, or something. obviously it wasn't very riveting for little kids--they always went for the meat and the cleaning products, so boring.
I, for one, loved it because I got to see middle-aged woman push shopping carts down aisles as quickly as they possibly good while grabbing random objects off the shelves and dumping them in the cart.
I would have just ran down the aisle using my arm to sweep an entire shelf into my cart, not worrying about what I was getting. Go for quantity, not quality, I say.

I want to remix this comic, but I lack both the correct state of mind, and humor.

Buying a heated japanese table when I live in a place larger than 1.5 rooms would be passion again, though.
ETA: What is this 'Supermarket Sweep'? Is it anything like 'Mall Madness'?
