In a 9-panel comic part of the Socialist Grocery series by Oli Knowles, Sebastian the main character works the cash register at a grocery. In the first panel, a man says, “Hey. Just buying these two things.”
The top right panel shows Sebastian’s view of the man’s shirt plastered with big letters “Blackrock”. The middle left-most panel shows Sebastian quizzically asking the man, “So… Do you… Uh…Work for Blackrock?”
The man tugs at his shirt in the middle panel, “Oh! I sued to, last year. Didn’t realize I wore this.”
In the middle right panel, Sebastian asks, “Well… What do you do now?” The man responds, “I work at a lab that’s trying to cure cancer.”
In the bottom left panel, the man seen from behind speaks to Sebastian at the register, “When I worked at Blackrock, we played this game”, “With new hires: we asked them to each randomly name a terrible company-”
The next panel a half-cut row panel shows the man, “-Then we asked them to name something terrible the company’s doing. Sure enough, every time Blackrock’s behind it!”
The lower half left panel shows the man receiving his items from Sebastian, the man continues, “Wait. Wait. Wait. This shirt is why I’m getting side-eye all day!” Sebastian in the last panel seen in the side profile says, “Yes – Absolutely.”
