If you’ve ever worked in retail, you know the mix of chaos, confusion, and unexpected humor that comes with the job. Stephen Beals, the creator behind the comic series Adult Children, captures these everyday struggles perfectly. His simple, expressive art and spot-on timing turn frustrating moments—like dealing with entitled customers or impossible managers—into laugh-out-loud experiences that many who have survived a shift behind the register might relate to.
Beals has been making daily comics for years, and his work is a reminder that even in the most stressful jobs, humor can be the best way to get through the day. Scroll down to check out the newest batch of his relatable strips!

Funny how "Tabby" is a common name for a cat. And also a description. "M"

That's me, except I would have reached that conclusion without bothering Tabby.

Number one question I was asked when I worked retail was, "Where's the restroom?" Men's and women's were in different places; sometimes on different floors.

I don't understand? In what Bizarro World do people *like* self-checkout?

I think that mug is actually running the whole store as some strange way to amuse itself.

These are great 😄. Extra votes for the signs, the mug faces, and the cat. The hairstyles were amazing. But Tabby is waaaaaay too smart for that job. Well done, more please 👍🏻😊

These are pretty good. I especially liked the background gags delivered Burma-shave sign style.

every time i see that there are more of these comics, i always expect to find the same great things in these, and this one was no exception. the signs in the background, the coffee mug, and tabby saying the stuff that needs to be said while working retail. these comics always seem to make my day a little better :)

Some of these are the same pictures as last time, but with different captions. I suppose that counts as "New Pics" (just about)...
