YOUR LOCAL SUPERMARKET SUPER HERO

January 25, 2019Comics, Lifestyle0

Comic of Your Local Supermarket Super Hero by Eli Rankin. First square: a mother holding a child with a lollipop saying, "Thank you so much for the free sample!' The supermarket employee, Lucius smiles, saying, "My pleasure, have a good rest of your day!" Square two: Lucius leans back, hands behind his head saying, "Ha! Another satisfied customer." A small image shows the speech bubble, "He-hey Mister..." Square three: The small ghoulish-looking child holding a gun with its tongue says, "Gimme all of your free samples!" Square four: A closeup image of Lucius' terrified face on the left, the right shows him from a distance yelling "H-H-HUGOOOOOO!" with the burly Hugo hearing him. Square five: A bird's eye view looking up at the strong and tough Hugo, with a curl of hair on his forehead, saying, "What's wrong, Lucius?" Square six: Lucius has jumped into Hugo's arms, around his waist; Hugo remains still, looking at Lucius flat faced. The girl/thing/kid with the gun remains in place. Lucius says, "HUGO! Thank goodness! This...thing... wants all the free samples! Get rid of it!" Hugo says, "This little girl is causing you trouble?" Lucius says "Nonsense! But could you punch it into orbit already?" Hugo says, "I can't go punching kids through ceilings..."
