Him putting the mayor's office in a mall like the most normal thing in the world never ceases to amaze me.

He is brainless consumerism incarnate.

To me it's one of the weirder and most innocent holdovers from the old days of Chris. You have this guy cutting open his taint to magically grow a vagina and being conned for thousands of dollars by sociopaths and then you remember that he put his fictional superpowered dictator self-insert's headquarters in a low-end Virginia shopping mall because its real life counterpart was his comfort zone and primary hangout spot for years. It's the kind of idiosyncratic, oddly earnest creative logic I uniquely associate with Chris.

Heh what I’ve always found funny is that he gets attacked by Security Guards in the mall he himself is de facto owner of. Like instead of a battle, couldn’t he just fire them? I think that’s one reason I love Sub-Episode 1 as much as I do. He basically freaks out and gets into a fight with someone who should be his employee and then gives a sob story involving how bad things happened to him on the anniversary of the WTC attack. The only way it would have been better was if Jerkhief was wearing a Turban and ranting about Allah the entire comic.

The CWCville municipal government probably had to contract security out to the PVCC on highly unfavourable terms to make up for the budget shortfall caused by funding dozens of soup hotels.

My mall has one of each. Stores around them open and close like clockwork. Those two stores? Eternal. Never underestimate how much money teenagers get from their parents

Sure, but scene kids stopped existing in like 2012. Everyone who shopped at Hot Topic in its heyday is in their mid-20s now. What does Hot Topic even sell nowadays?

Well, I guess we know where Chris gets his wardrobe now.

Chris reminds me of when i went shopping with my folks and looking at the bill and thinking about how many lego sets i could by with the money for one weeks shopping

hats what Chris reminds me off, whenever he sees that he needs to pay bills or debts or whatever he passes it off as "boring adult stuff"

he's not exactly an 8 year old per say but in some aspects such as finance he hasest matured past absolence

Everything now is pop culture. There are probably some goth/emo clothes there still but Spencers, Hot Topic, FYE, Gamestop, etc all stay afloat with pop culture merch. Funkos. Rick and Morty shirts. Deadpool cereal. Nostalgic Power Rangers toys. Stranger Things cups. Memes!

Someone out there doesn't mind shelling out $25 for a shirt with Power Level Shaggy on it or $50 for exclusive little bobblheads and that's all they need.

That's not a bad thing in and of itself, capitalism gotta adapt to the times, but the stores should have something of merit other than tacky crap like pops and novelty cereal, and as for the people who buy it have some self control and don't blow whatever tard bucks or money you get on a shopping cart of it.

That'll happen when you're raised with nothing else to strive for and don't put any effort into making something of your life. What else besides mindless consumerism would Chris have to live for?

A hippie/anarcho commune might knock some sense of collectivism into him
