Born on Black Friday

Malcom Balford was just a dude, a dude who had been roped into going shopping on Black Friday by his wife. Not only did he not want to be there, since he had a deep hatred of materialism, but it was his birthday. As he and his wife split up to get the best deals at the local mall, his life starts to take a very odd turn. He's noticing changes in his appearance – and even more troubling, changes to the way he thinks. Purchase after purchase continue to change him, until he's become what the mall always wanted him to be. 17 Illustrations. Story & Art by Joe Six-Pack. For adults only.
