Well, in the Bible, Abraham told the rich man in Hell there was a great gulf between them that Lazarus couldn't get through to get to him. A gulf could be considered a gap, and Lazarus was a competing store at one time, so of course they wouldn't let him go through. Also, J.C. Penny's is a clothing store and some believe you have to put pennies on the eyes of the dead so they can pay the toll to cross the river Styx. We are born naked, but we are buried in suits and respectable clothing. Clearly this means that clothing stores represent the bridge between life and death.

I'm a longtime fan of Drue, but that is spoken like a true person who has no clue how to animate. Drue's stuff isnt animated well, it's the directions and angles that make it good. Each motion is a non-wasted effort, THATS what makes it good. Not the "animation" it'self.

Jean Dancer, yup that's her name! 😆

She thinks she's so deep, but the logistics of a textiles retail shop evade her.

Wow the transition from "we're closing" to existential crisis was really fast. Also I guess it took the jean girl so long in there cuz clearly she was removing the ink tag because she super didn't buy those.

Those dance moves were 🔥

I'm obsessed with these two characters I'll never, ever see again.

Honestly, if I worked there, I would take the dance as payment enough. It was bizarrely epic. Langlo-ic.

This is an instant classic in my brain.

It's a shame we'll never be able to identify that thieving mass of molecules.

I like this character. Been wanting to do something like this for a long time! Thank you!

2:15 man, that frame is perfection. Your works are one of the things I enjoy most in life Drue, thank you

I wish all cashiers spoke this way

Super 90's vibe. Y'all know how a smell can take you to a time and place? This animation makes me feel like a kid staying up late and watching cartoons on mtv or something. It's great.

Babe, wake up! New Drew just dropped! :D

Best Jeanist

I expected the customer to be a horror antagonist. but she's just a delight. I wonder where her journey takes her.

The dance is so good its shocking

2:15 this is the perfect metaphor for the surprises life always has in store for you

I'd be happy to hear her ramble on some more, it's soothing and hypnotic. Trance like even.

Jeans are so back in

1:30 That one frame is gorgeous. Same as everything else by Drue, really.

I don't know who is more insane? The shop keeper or the lass that shoplifted with holed out jeans on her head.
