Retail book contains more than comics

1 minute 12 comments

Norm Feuti’s Retail will have a book coming out this October, which will be more than a comics collection, according to E&P.

Feuti, who rose from salesperson to store manager during more than 15 years in the retail industry, structured “Pretending You Care” as a handbook for new retail employees. The Hyperion-published paperback — mostly text but with plenty of comics — is also aimed at shoppers.

  1. Thanks for the mention, Charles!

  2. LOL, I like the title. I worked in retail “Pretending I Cared” for 5+ years and was on the management track… then I got a better job sitting on my butt in an office (no, seriously, I get to play with a computer all day, so it’s good.) I went from Retail to Dilbert.

    Great work on the strip, Norm, some of them hit a so close to home it’s scary. And good luck with the book, I’ll have to check it out.

  4. Norm!

    Congrats sir! I was just about to e-mail you after reading this, but hey…you’re here and I’m lazy. 😉

    Seriously though…awesome news, sir! I will be pre-ordering this book on Amazon.

    Keep up the good work on ‘Retail’. Cooper is one of the best characters out there.

  6. Congrats, Norm! Way to go!

    p.s. While we’re confessing, I, too, worked in retail — and (gulp) fast food!

  7. Thanks, Scott!

    Thanks, everyone! The book was a lot of fun to write and I have high hopes for it.

  8. I imagine most people (especially cartoonists) have worked in retail at some point in their lives. I lucked out and worked in a toy shop, but I can still relate to a lot of these strips. Great work and congrats on the book.

  9. Thanks, Alex, and congratulations to you as well! I look forward to adding Arctic Circle to my DailyINK page when it launches this August.

  10. Hi Norm — Just saw this post (I’m a little behind the times). Congratulations and good luck with the book sale!

  12. Terri,
    Pajama Diaries is one of the hidden gems of the syndicated comics. I hope your toon is doing well enough to keep you creating it!
