No matter if you worked in retail years ago, or if it is your reality to this day, the dread of customer service is ingrained in your brain for life. From dealing with unhinged customers to management nightmares, Stephen Beals always hits the right spot when it comes to his humorous observations.
A true creative powerhouse, behind “Adult Children” comics, Stephen has been making daily cartoons for years. His endless ideas and dedication to the craft are undeniable. But even the most passionate artists face real-life challenges. Here’s a message from Stephen himself: “I love being read and love my readers. If you like a creator and are able to, consider supporting them through their Patreon or website. I've been able to occasionally pay for food and shelter this way. Nobody is trying to get rich. We just want to do what we love and entertain you.”
So, without further ado, let’s hop into the post, and for more information, read the rest of the interview with the artist below.
