Speaking with New Hampshire’s Foster’s Daily Democrat, cartoonist John Klossner said he often looks to current news and trends for cartoon ideas.
“Like anybody who writes or draws, you think about what is happening in your world,” Klossner said. “I’ll be reading an article and there will be something that sparks an idea in my head.
For example, he’s looked at the trend of buying local.
Here’s a reminder that when people shoplift, it has a local impact. Thieves are stealing from local stores, local store owners or local managers who are evaluated on how their local store is doing. Local profits are lost. Local prices must rise to cover the costs of theft. Local tax revenue is lost. Local theft is a consideration when looking at retail expansion.
It’s a reminder that shoplifting is a local problem.
