Transcript:
Mr. Rod: No... I've made my decision... Mr. Rod: I'm laying off Joey and Hernando. Mr. Rod: You, Beatriz and Kiyoshi will have to pick up the slack. Mr. Rod: And by the way... Mr. Rod: You're my new assistant manager.
Well whadda ya know. Joey wasn’t entirely clueless after all. In Monday’s strip he was bragging to Baldo about being part of management and that his (Baldo’s) job was safe. Now hopefully Baldo won’t let the promotion go to his head.Asst. Mgr. at an auto parts store…..that means you can tell the part timers what to do.
Holy cow! Mr. Rod came through. I’m so happy for Baldo. He looks scared in the last panel. Don’t worry, Baldo, you’ll do a great job. Your Papi will be very happy too.
I predict comments over the next few weeks such as, “If Joey were here…” “Joey wouldn’t have…” followed by quiet sobbing as everyone realizes he’s gone, and they no longer have a character to hate on.
Awesome comments, everyone! Thanks for following the story. We’ll see where we go from here, but some predictions above [I won’t say which] are actually things we’ve thought about. Thanks for reading.

it is kind of questionable that mr rod said baldo is the new assistant manager as he is walking away and not face to face. makes me wonder…

Outstanding! Although I’m not sure Baldo sees it that way. Just like Mr. Rod - here’s the job: No expectations, no direction. Just don’t be like Joey.

I don’t recall ever seeing Hernando. Wonder if Kiyoshi will begin to make appearances.
