If you’ve ever worked in retail, you know the mix of chaos, confusion, and unexpected humor that comes with the job. Stephen Beals, the creator behind the comic series Adult Children, captures these everyday struggles perfectly. His simple, expressive art and spot-on timing turn frustrating moments—like dealing with entitled customers or impossible managers—into laugh-out-loud experiences that many who have survived a shift behind the register might relate to.
Beals has been making daily comics for years, and his work is a reminder that even in the most stressful jobs, humor can be the best way to get through the day. Scroll down to check out the newest batch of his relatable strips!
