I didn’t even bother to go shopping last Friday, so I don’t know how the stores did. Everyone I spoke with said they were too broke to run out that day. 🙂
My stats resemble someone on a heart monitor about ready to go flat line , I have never shopped on a Black Friday and don’t have any future plans to do so either
I am a lucky man. My wife is hooked on Rummage Sales and she won’t fall for any of the sales hype on new stuff anymore. Some folks are going to be surprised to get a used toaster this Christmas.
Hmmm….So could we have used last year’s news articles for this year as well….i mean sales were down 8%. People still cannot put bread on the table how are we to get clothes….sorry.
fix the economy first….we need jobs..jobs jobs..
it is so interesting though that ur cartoon for last year is still relevant.
I have always been fascinated with your Black Friday…probably because I’m Canadian and have never taken part. Usually I just watch people beat eachother sensless for the last discounted PVR on CNN…
I boycott “Black Friday,” and hope others start doing it, too. The dishonest advertising practices of retailers is pretty gross, in my opinions. “Let’s send out an ad to 500,000 people that we have a 50” LCD TV for $399, knowing we only have 5 in stock.” Yes, the people are at fault for falling for it, too, but it’s borderline false advertising and deliberately scandalous.
Sorry, misleading advertising is one of my hot buttons. I hate how stupid the corporations think (or know) the consumer is.
My wife is the smartest woman I know (I have been programmed to say such things), she does 85% of her christmas shopping AFTER christmas through January when things are like 90% off! So by the time Halloween rolls around, she’s done and wrapped. People seem to not realize how shallow those holiday sales really are!
Dear Bearman and Loony: I would like to propose a collaborative post that we can all post on our respective blogs…I came to this idea because I got to thinking about our talents:
Bearman talent: funny awesome cartoons
Loony: creative and funny news telling
My talent: well.. the list is endless but my contributing talent could be writing the dialogue of the event as my mind imagines it.. hehe
maybe we could pick something funny that Loony finds.. bearman draws maybe 2 or 3 scenes and I can put dialogue to it?
You and the Loony bird figure it out and I’ll draw. But you have to limit it all to one scene. I only do single panels…multiples just give me headaches.

Hmmm, the results are in already on Black Friday?
That was so 3 days ago.
I didn’t even bother to go shopping last Friday, so I don’t know how the stores did. Everyone I spoke with said they were too broke to run out that day. 🙂
Everyone says that but then they buy stuff online.
This year’s Black Friday should be called “Black Novembe”, since it seems that retailers started on Christmas as soon as Halloween was done.
You forget the Christmas in July sales.
Silly me…how could I forget Christmas in July, Halloween in August, back to school in July, Valentine’s day in December…
Love the Acme sign (looks kinda’ like my stats) … I’m waiting for it to completely self destruct at any moment! 🙂
At least they are on the upswing.
Oh, yeah … missed that part. I retract the parenthesized part of my previous statement. 🙂
My stats resemble someone on a heart monitor about ready to go flat line , I have never shopped on a Black Friday and don’t have any future plans to do so either
Stats are like a roller coaster.
Dem ears Bearman? Black Friday is now being referred to the day Tiger got a whipping from his missus!
What no finger so you have to talk about the ears?
I had to go with something, it was either the ears or her fringe!!!
Fringe? Hmm, like “finger” except the “r” is in the wrong place…weird!
Thank you miss anagram. Didn’t we cover that in a previous post.
Hey look at the bright side. We’ve got one holiday behind and only a couple more and we can get back to real life.
No..then there are the presidents day sales, Valentines Day sales, Easter Sales,…
I am a lucky man. My wife is hooked on Rummage Sales and she won’t fall for any of the sales hype on new stuff anymore. Some folks are going to be surprised to get a used toaster this Christmas.
Put a few daisy stickers on it and it is art.
Ha! Well, as Calvin once said: “If you keep peoples’ expectations low, they’ll never be disappointed.”
I try to do that everyday Chris.

I am timeless that way.
Ha ha…funny Bearman!
I have always been fascinated with your Black Friday…probably because I’m Canadian and have never taken part. Usually I just watch people beat eachother sensless for the last discounted PVR on CNN…
So people in Canada don’t rush out the day after Thanksgiving…Oh wait that’s why..haha
Haha, nice one!
tyty
Seems like you are correct, this is relivent again!
Sadly so.
Pink Friday! It’s motto is “Pink Don’t Stink… much” The only shopping I did was late Friday and it was, I admit, for myself. Bad me.
I’ll send you my wish list. Next time don’t be so selfish.
At last I know why it’s called Black Friday. I thought it was because it was such an incredibly awful day to go outside.
Stick with me Sheila…I’ll learn ya.
I have never even gone shopping (nor close to a shopping center) on Black Friday.
That’s b/c you are an online shopper. That and QVC.
Into the pink then…..
hmmm
that’s about right bearman! did you know that 89.9% of all statistics are just made up?
You just made that up.
uh….h-e-l-l-o…of course i did! see what i mean?

I can’t help it you were 6th in line after me.

Set your goals low…. That way if you reach them or not… It really doesn’t matter… : )
Spoken like a true optimist..haha
I do have a reputation to uphold…. LOL!!
