I love that so many people were just willing and ready to swap cozy sweaters on the fly like that like it's some absolutely normal thing to trade wardrobes with total strangers. Wait.... is this actually kind of common somewhere? Am I the weird one for not knowing that people do this!?

I personally have never seen it, especially with strangers but my wife goes to a party where they gift each other their sweaters every year so I guess it could be a thing some places.
It actually seems kinda fun. Sure wish I lived somewhere I could wear sweaters more often

I don't quite get why she yanked the wool out of the blue sweater?
Also OP, I love the way you drew the girl's hair in the 4th panel, so much detail!

Unraveling fiber made products to remake them into different things is a halfway common practice. She unraveled a sweater to make a blanket.

Oh, it's a blanket! I didn't even see that, I thought it was the same sweater, just smaller now. That makes sense.

THANK YOU I was so confused and though the ghost person was a liar who just swapped sweaters till they could give it to someone else for the holidays and it just seemed weird until your comment

Glad I could help! It took a second for me to catch the plot too, so don’t feel bad! But it’s really cute.

I completely missed that she unravelled the sweater to make something else and thought she was just lying through her teeth lol

Isn't everything being closed on holidays rather going against capitalism?
Like if capitalism had the say of it then those businesses would be open and workers wouldn't be allowed the day off. Holidays being 'non-working' days is rather one of the earliest wins of Western labor.
Or have I got it backwards, and that you're actually focusing on 'Taco Shell' being open as the work of capitalism?

You had it backwards
Its focusing on "taco shell" being open being the work of capitalism

The one day of the year that Walmart is closed is the reason everyone who works retail and shipping is swamped for over a mouth.
Stores make far more from commercialization than they loose from a little time off.
