I contend that the stories here occur in the U.S., where we really don’t line up well.
One of my favorite lines (pun intended) from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy movie is, “Move aside. I’m British. I know how to queue.” Or something like that.
If these cartoons were set in the U.K., the robber wouldn’t be so bad at snapping up his place in line.
I’m relieved that Bob is coping with this robbery so well. He was so traumatised by the last one! Guess he’s worked out that they aren’t the brightest bulbs in the box.
Rob? Really?
Re the hover text: If you are going to queue, then it needs to be civilisation.
Should have brought a partner. Maybe a ten year old with a smart phone. Besides both of those guys are behind the Credit Card Company and the IRS in robbing Hubris…
You should see us Indians in a queue! The moment a counter/window/stall where the line is opens up, the straight line congeals into an amorphous mass of pushing bodies!
I am assuming you mean India the country, not Aboriginal (Native) American… cuz I know my rez friends, we line up in a perfect line, or we ain’t gettin’ no food! LOL
Contact information. What CAN you do next…?
REALLY? AGAIN?
do Bob attracts nutjobs or what?
geez, LEAVE HIM ALONE.
Back in my television days we ran a story from the CBS feed about a teller at a bank somewhere in california who told the robber if he did not have an account at their branch he would have to go to another branch where he did have one. The robber left and was picked up en route to the next location.
Sometimes criminals are arrested for their own protection.
I love that Bob has adjusted his universe to handle crime in it. I ADORE the fact that he’s WINNING!!
Back in the 80s, before debit cards took over, my younger brother was working in a convenience store in a bad part of Dayton. It would get robbed often. One night there were three armed robberies. The third guy left empty handed because there wasn’t anything left to steal.
I’m British. I know how to queue.

I’m a veteran. I know how to hurry up and wait.
[has to grin] It would seem Bob catches on Faaassst. (unlike the people trying to rob the joint)
When Hubris gets back from the hell he’s dealing with, he’ll have a lot of info to hand over to the police when they get his & Bob’s statements. XD
Gotta hand it to Bob. Makin’ it real. Hehehehe.
Hey after last year’s escapades with Dubble Yu….. Bob can survive anything in that shop.
[and rumors of my demise were only partly true. I fell in the trench we had to dig to get the ash tree remains out of the water pipe main to the house… so just catching up]
THAT is one smart dude!!
I don’t know what Bob’s smoking, but I think I want some.
