Cindy Insulted, Gets Nightie In A Knot


When we saw Cindy the sales girl last week, she was in fact at the climax of a very bad day at work in which a customer throws a dress at her.

So how did that day begin? Yep you guessed it - one of these tiresome people who can't make up her mind and then walks out with nothing.

Oh, boy.. GREAT!... But my mother would never let me wear it!... I'd better forget the whole deal!
What? Where were you planning to wear such a negligee young lady? And if the question should be 'For whom are you planning to wear such a negligee?' Surely you'd do what other young women have been doing since time in memoriam - not tell your mother you bought it and sneak out the house.

Yet alas for poor Cindy, her day's not getting any better. Witness - your awkward customer:



Panel 1: Are you kidding? I'd be ashamed to go out in this thing
Panel 2: Maybe I COULD wear this one out -- but WHERE?
Panel 3: I'll remember THIS one when I want to startle someone!
Now answer me this.

This is supposed to be a fashion featurette, showing these 'Mad, Mad Moderns' what's hip, cool, trippy and happening.

So why would you insult the clothing? Particularly in contradiction to the captions in the panel below.

Could it be the wordsmith got the roughs back from the artist and said yeech?

Take a look at her hands - perhaps they're telling the real story...

Panel 1: He promised me it was this long
Panel 2: But in the end it was this small
Panel 3: I'm bitterly disappointed
