  1. Whoah am I first?

    1. Thank the confusion in my Daylight Savings Time settings on the website. 🙂

  2. The Hell?! Not only is she a bitch, she’s racist as well?! Somebody needs to be slapped!

    1. I think she just needs to get laid and that’ll solve most of her problems.

      Or maybe she’s just a raging racist bitch, who knows?

      1. I’m guessing the latter, if only because I hate her a whole lot.

        1. Raging racist bitches need dick too

        2. She’ll either need a homeless guy or a man-whore… either way it’ll cost her because everybody else has standards… even hardened prisoners XD

        3. Penis repelent dude penis repelent Dx

        4. Heh sorry guys, I’d do her. Especially considering that ad she’s in on some sites 😉

          Of course it has been a while…

        5. I would too, but she’ll have to be wearing a ballgag- rude bitchiness rather than dry wit is a real turn-off.

        6. @Teh_Das

          Just because they clearly need some is no reason to give it to them. After all, worst case scenario; they propagate and then we’re stuck with MORE of them!

      2. ….who needs to get laid…lol

      3. If i was him, i’d say something like, “rip on me all you want….but it’s pretty pathetic and down right inexcusable to use someone else to rip on me. So knock that sh*t off or i’ll knock it off for you…”

        I know that would shut her up in a heart beat. Hell, she was speechless when He said her name sounded like a porn star name…

        1. True, but with a bitch like Tracy you need to keep it short, sweet, yet bitter and harsh with as few words as possible. Someone says something like that and I’m in Nate’s shoes, I’d probably walk past giving a swift, “And that is why we all hate you…”

        2. And, there’s the whole “Tracy is his boss” deal. Kinda can’t forget that one. But hey, one quick call to Food Baron HR at corporate… and who knows! ;D

      4. Por Que No Los Dos? XD
        Also, get laid with which one? 😛

    2. Dear Lazruth, jealousy and insecurities always get the worst of a person.

      in yet, she is a bitch racist

  3. Okay, I’m thinking Nate’s about to shove his foot so far up this woman’s ass that she will drown on his ball sweat.

    1. That makes no sense what so ever, but I kinda love it…

  4. Wow. I hate to dump on people based on their names, but… Suffice to say that I had a nutcase boss once named Tracy, and she wasn’t just a *purported* harlot.

    Hank Hill covered it when he said, “What a bitch.”

  5. im sure shes a super bitch on a regular basis but it also seems like shes craving nate or at least parts of him

    1. I’d say demonchild HIT it SQUARE, but other remarks seem SO CLOSE too!

      She’s a racist, so she doesn’t want black – or Jimi would have had some! —
      Not into the occult, or the Vampire would have SCOOOOOOORRRREEDDDD! —
      She’s HAD the Store Manager – and THAT didn’t “work too well” …
      Nate’s the only male the tramp DIDN’T have!

      1. That little offshoot storyline pretty much shows that she wants to jump his bones.

      2. Me, I would love to see Purvous get some, but as Jim pointed out…..

  6. Of course you realize, this means WAR. I would like to suggest an ongoing epic arc where Nate and Tracy are constantly one-upping each other as they head toward ultimate revenge….

    And wow…all the girls in TG are going super-psycho lately.

    1. Seconded. Though most people don’t take suggestions from fans xD

  7. And yet we have seen that she secretly wants him…

    1. To be fair, EOC was Nate’s daydream, so of course she secretly wants him there.

      1. True, true.

        But I know you cartoonists. Nothing is as it seems… ^_^

  8. Wow, Tracy; way to be a super ultra bitch… I think he should tell her all about all the action he’s getting from this girl so he can make Tracy super, super mad… since she’s not getting any at all.

  9. In the last panel it kinda looks like Tracy is wearing no pants

  10. Holy hell people.

    I come in here to read what’s being discussed and all i can feel is the hate.

    That makes me sad 🙁

    Nicely done Nick. Me, I enjoyed it, and you’re portraying her well. she may be a little bitchy, but it’s fitting her character 🙂

    1. The hate’s only for the character. =) The strip itself rocks, or we wouldn’t all be here.

      Nothing but love for our artist, here. =)

      1. Yeah, I take it as a compliment. 🙂

  11. I agree that Tracy is being meaner than she has to be, here, but let’s not forget that none of the other employees is in line for any ‘saint of the year’-awards. I wonder whether she was always mean, or that the antics of her supposed colleagues wore her down over time.

  12. Oooh…let’s guess Miranda’s ethnicity. Hmm, olive complected skin and vaguely green eyes (maybe hazel). I’ll vote Eastern European and/or Persian/Irani.

    1. Completely possible for her to be mexican though.

  13. You know, the only reason he hasn’t goten any is his own fault 😀

  14. So is the implication supposed to be that Tracy knows Miranda is in the country illegally, or that Tracy is so stupid that she assumes anyone with a dark complexion who apparently speaks English perfectly must be an illegal immigrant anyway? Which I guess would be a “make Tracy the biggest bitch you possibly can” thing?

    Dunno. Seems unnecessary. Tracy was pretty well established to be awful.

    Still great work, keep it up Nick!

    1. Not necessarily. Could be here on a student Visa or green card. all Tracy would have to know is that she is not a US Citizen, and as a manager, Tracy would be potentially in a position to know.

      1. Or she could turn out to be caucasian. The largest part of my family genetics is Irish, German and French, but we’ve got native american on both sides about 8 generations back which has gotten me a lot of “so are you mexican?” in my day.

        1. Or it could be that Tracy is full of hate, and just saying things to be racist.

        2. I’m with Teh_Das on this one, I think Tracy is just being a bitch on this one, taking a stab at Miranda like that. And I honestly don’t think she really likes Nate given this; remember… this isn’t Manga, the rule of “rip on the ones you like” does not always apply here and this comic has proven many times to step beyond the boundaries of ‘normality’ and provide something superior to what other comics try to provide.

    2. You know, when I saw this, the only possibility that occurred to me is that Tracy thought it was funny to *pretend* to think that…

  15. Oh, I love Miranda. She’s so understanding. Tracy, on the other hand, can go to hell with Steve’s old 1987 Chrysler Convertible.

  16. Why doesn’t Nate just have sex with both of them? If he does, hell, I won’t complain. 😉

    1. at the SAME time…

  17. seems like everyone else hates Tracy, too. Well, I suppose that’s how the character written up, keeps things interesting.

  18. Time for Nate to whip out the kung fu on her ass.

  19. Oooooh, imma get my slapping glove warmed up coz that bitch is admins for a nice hand shaped welt on her cheek. I’m sorry, I went off they’re for a while. Nick I love what your doing keep it up. Been with you all the way. Love the characters and especially the new girl person she seems nice. That’s mainly why I dislike that annoying bitcg who looks like she ain’t wearing pants.

    Finally I believe the moral of this strip is… ‘Bitches be crazy.’

    1. THEY’RE KHAKIS PEOPLE WEAR KHAKIS

      And thanks. 🙂

      1. Don’t worry bout it I’m sure it’s just our mind warping it into a close form of her being naked. And your welcome

  20. I was right, Tracy _is_ jealous of Nate’s potential lovers. She wants him so bad, but doesn’t know how to express it. Sad, really.

    1. Nah, I think she just acts like a bitch naturally. This isn’t the typical comic/manga; Nick has proven more than once to step out of the box on some of the most cliche points in stories and bring us something totally opposite. I think he made her a bitch so we have people to hate, because in any story, there are always more people to share your hatred with than just one….

  21. Hello bitch, this is fist. Fist, meet bitch.

    1. Hi fist. How are you doing?

      1. I’m pretty good you?

  22. She always reminded me of the monsters in my Old D&D source books, under “Always neutral evil”

  23. By golly, it IS Tuesday, isn’t it?

    As in, “See you next Tuesday.”

  24. She wants his babies she’s gonna try and pull something

  25. I think this is a bit beyond anything that Tracy has done before and when something is different then you find the reason.

    In this case I think the reason is that she wants Nate and so said something completely out of line. I know I have been in the same place and said something that wasn’t acceptable at all (yeah is was racist and I was jealous). I think that what will happen off camera is that Tracy will calm down later and say ‘Why did I say that?” and feel really really terrible.

    As for the other people in the store, just because she doesn’t want to jump their bones doesn’t mean she is a racist. I mean I seem to always end up with White girls even though I get on really well with everyone, it just happens. I mean, doesn’t everyone go where the stark is? Do you just hook up with everyone whether or not you are interested in them? (Oh, and she directly works with Nate. So she would see much more of him than the others anyway)

    1. You mean, nate works directly under her;)

    2. …She wants his babies…

  26. Wow, what a racist bitch.

    And I don’t even swear.

  27. I was just using stumble upon, it took me duelinganalogs.com where I saw a small banner add for TG. This is the comic it took me too.

    Kinda nice that your ads are working, right? : )

  28. Bitch needs a dose of Treasure Type O.

  29. Oh…my…God! I don’t care how much trouble I’d get in, I’d slap Tracy for that one.

  30. Tracy dissed herself. She just implied SHE is deliberately employing Miranda illegally, or at the very least willingly NOT reporting an illegal worker to INS.

    Whoopsie!
