Shitscalator
Hello ladies and gentlemen this here is my very first web comic, available for public consumption despite all those laws. I kid. Anyhoo, you might remember me from my little stint on www.theworldexplodes.com R.T. set this whole little dealie up for me and I am happy to, now, wallow in my own crapulance. I suppose I could let you in on how this works; this is a bit of a project I’ve been working on for just about my entire duration of being a Barista (unfortunately I’ve been one for quite some time). Some of the stories I tell will be true (for example someone DID infact poo on the escalator at my work), thanks to the immortal words of my high school creative writing teacher I write what I know. I hope you all like my take on something that is pretty much of no interest to anyone but me and maybe my mom (she’s super supportive of my endeavors even if it is to be a pro cartooner). So without further babblings I give you Barista Girl in all of its mediocre hyped up glory.

effin rad! where’s the merch?
January 7th, 2008 at 2:49 pm
Phil, brutha… Why in the fuck aren’t you hangin around my site? Ya bastard. Anyway, I’m working on a way to revamp my merchandising techniques, and Ratchet and I are going to work on some things… I want to move away from doing the print on demand things, and work up some capital for doing more owned liscence product.
Stay tuned.

I saw workers open an escalator
once. Underneath was a kids shoe.
Those things are dangerous.
I like to pause at the end of
escalators because people behind
you have no where to go. Bump!
Hahaha. Evil laugh. Bump. Bump.
Then I turn around like they stink
ass and give them a dirty look…

Your art style’s just plain awesome, Ratchet. I’m really excited to see more of your webcomic!
Oh, and lol @ “ass chili.” Disgusting but funny.

Ink
A dink
A bottle of Ink
The cap fell off and
YOU STINK!
I am going to miss being one of the dorks that would stand in front of your counter and pester you with the daily blather. All the uber dorky comments like:
nice hair color- is it natural
any new peircings or tats, say what is that on your hand a doodle or a tat?
Worst part of the whole deal, I dont make any commission on discovering you!
Put a link to your fav’rite coffee joint!
Dont forget that our buddy Stan has been slinging java for over 20 years as a part timer!
You can always go back…. well there are exceptions to that rule…
Keep up the great work and congrats!
Sqwak!

LOL @ Sera’s pause on the escalator!! That’s really great!
Honestly, though, escalators terrify me. Especially the ones at the Mall of America that go to the top floors with the see-through glass sides. I’m terrified of heights and falling, and would rather wait half an hour for the damn elevator than ride one of those scary-ass escalators.

God… I really wanna take a shit on a fucking escalator. That’d be fuckin’ hilarious… Especially explaining it to the booking officer at the Bloomington Police Department.
January 9th, 2008 at 6:41 am
omg R.T. i cant stop lolol
the idea, explaining it the whole thing, too funny, im rollin…..
yer mom~

I’m sure Bloomington gets some
badass police stuff that makes
crapping on an escalator look
like a stupid frat boy prank…
Imagine ’splaining that to your
lifetime-janitor-jobbed cellmate.

They have little “mini” jails in the basement for no goodnicks who do bad things like make dookie dogs in various places in the mall
January 9th, 2008 at 11:18 am
I want a mini-jail. with candles.
and shoe laces. dibs on the key.
January 9th, 2008 at 8:48 pm
i love, like, tolerate and hate you, so i figured i’d check it out… sweet! congratulations! it’s freakin awesome!! and really? when did someone poop on the escalator!? who does that!!!?? see ya at work.

Shitting on escalators is actually a sport in denmark. one person stands at the bottom of the one goin up and the other person stands at the top of the one goin down. Then on the count of 3 they both drop their casual denim slacks and melt a big heater. The first pile that reaches the opposite end, WINS!.
….or so i’m told.
Looks killer. I love your style. My favorite facial expression is that of frame #6
Im gonna go ahead and say it….your a badass.
