Syndicated Comic Strips
Norm’s syndicated comic strip, Retail, presented a humorous look at the retail industry by chronicling the daily events at the fictitious Grumbel’s department store. Drawing from his 15 years of experience working in retail management, the humor of Retail played 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 was distributed in newspapers worldwide by King Features from January 2006 – February 2020. The entire run of Retail is archived online at www.retailcomics.com
Norm’s newspaper comic strip Gil was a realistic and funny look at life through the eyes of a young boy growing up under circumstances familiar to millions of American families. Gil appeared in The Providence Journal from January 2012 – December 2022. Classic Gil comics are rerun on GoComics.
