Hello everyone!
Today is Black Friday!
Black Friday takes place on the last Friday of November, the day after
American Thanksgiving. Black Friday is
a common social experience and event if you live in North America and the
United Kingdom.
What is Black
Friday?
Black Friday is a shopping event when stores have big
sales and huge discounts. A lot of
people use this day to begin their Christmas shopping and to buy expensive
goods such as electronics at sale prices.
Black Friday is similar to Boxing Day.
Black Friday began in the United States but has spread across
the Americas and other English speaking countries around the world in recent
years. Black Friday is now an
unofficial Thanksgiving weekend tradition for many Americans.
Black Friday is also the unofficial start to the
Christmas holiday season.
Today’s comic makes fun of the excitement and confusion
that comes with Black Friday sales.
COMIC BREAKDOWN
Pros: Big Discounts on the mostly subpar electronic
goods.
“Hey, that’s a good price for a crapasonic!”
Cons: Sales begin at 5 A.M and you will likely be crushed
in the human stampede.
“I regret nothing!”
What is going on?
This comic is making fun of the fact that the shopping
deals on Black Friday may not be so good after all.
The made up word “crapasonic” is a play on the name of
the electronic brand name Panasonic.
Crapasonic means crappy electronics.
People always want to buy electronics like televisions on sale and Black
Friday is considered a good time to do so.
However a lot of the electronics and other goods being sold are not of
the highest quality or the best price on Black Friday.
Even if you do find a good bargain (a good price) for
something you want it is not easy to get.
There are large line ups and crowds at all stores and shopping
centers. Some people even fight one
another to get what they want. Also, to
get what you want you have to line up all night or wake up very early to avoid
the crowds. Black Friday shopping can
literally be chaos (crazy confusion).
Regardless, many people still go out and shop on Black
Friday. Many leave feeling they had a great
shopping experience and others leave feeling they had a bad shopping experience.
