Just to be clear, while the person who went on a shopping spree in this cartoon is a woman, it could’ve just as easily been a guy. For example, a guy like me.
I think many of us with Y chromosomes can be equally loose with our money. For example, even if you disregard comic books–which obviously are crucial to my survival–it’s entirely possible that I may have overspent once, twice or a thousand times over the years.
(Although I’m more practical and careful these days, I almost never go shopping on Black Friday. I don’t need the hassle and I can’t afford to save too much money on bargains!)
As for this art, it really jumped out to me when I was trying to come up with a Black Friday gag. The gag materialized as soon as I saw the art. So I went with it. And, I’ll admit, I had a lot of fun doing so.

So watching some creepy guy chase a hottie is a spectator sport now?

Re: squirrels: My Schipperke, Bandit, thinks they are evil. One jumps from branch to branch outside and flicks his tail to see what kind of a reaction it can get from Bandit until the noise drives me nuts and I go outside and shoo it away.
