Description
When that McDonald’s opened in Moscow in 1990, there were lines around the building so massive that they really did need crowd control barriers. That was the inspiration I needed for this story. Apparently, the Russian people couldn’t wait to have their first heart attacks.Can you tell that Joel is reading a Russian-English dictionary in the last panel there? It’s another one of those tiny details that got reduced to almost nothing when I resized the strip.

Given that it is Russia, we cannot be certain that Joel is starting at the bottom! For all we know, there are animals to shovel after...

I get the feeling Joel's new boss is based on someone. Something about that combover seems oddly familiar.

Assumption goes that he uses a translation book, since A: he doesn't know russian and B: Smartphones weren't a thing back then.
