The comic strip, Retail, presents a humorous look at the retail industry by chronicling the daily events at the fictitious Grumbel’s department store. The humor of Retail plays out through the day-to-day trials and triumphs of four main Grumbel’s department store employees (Marla, Cooper, Val, and Stuart) and the customers they encounter.
Retail is distributed worldwide by King Features and appears in about 70 newspapers throughout the US and Canada. If your local paper doesn’t carry Retail, you can read it online every day at The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s website by clicking on the Retail characters on the sidebar to the right.
Beginning in 2010, the original run of Retail can be viewed on this website. To read them, click HERE then navigate forward.
