Charlie feels the heat as he negotiates appliance repair in this cartoon from Double Vision!
“Yer man behind the counter neither speaks nor looks at me once. I hold my peace. This is my very first encounter with a shopkeeper in my new town, and I’m a firm believer in arriving in a new community with a very mild plop, rather than a mighty loud bang.”

Well there’s a lesson there in taking the long-term view when dealing with… less than helpful shopkeepers you’re probably going to have to deal with again! And you’re officially now a repeat customer so I’m sure that helped too. 😀 I found a similar attitude when I moved to Galway, almost as if you shouldn’t have come into their shop when they don’t know you!
Thanks for the praise about the cartoons!
I was back in the shop today and the older fella asked how the toaster was going. I told him it was perfect, thsbks so much, and he went off to find me a less expensive sugar bowl then the one I’d picked. Patience pays off.
Yet again your cartoon beautifully illustrated just how I felt. That’s your art.
