Considering that the main setting is a city names Shitropolis, I immediately assumed that it really was called Nowheresville, and the sarcastic map app was possibly meant as a fourth wall joke poking fun at the names.
It’s not easy being a villager.
All villagers know that even the weakest villager in history was stronger and tougher than even the strongest and toughest city degenerate, wiser as well. But as the same time we know that to not really be true, we know two mutually exclusive things to be 100% accurate facts, and have to handle it somehow.
And you have to wait 10 whole minutes to get the chance to sit in a table with a plug near it!
I wonder if the baristas are capable of of mispell “Bob” and “Bubba”. Not to mention if they dare to do it.
Don’t worry, Buckeress can’t see the Starbucks mini shoppe wedged between two of those Starbucks nor the kiosks located inside some of those stores.
These people may live out in the boonies but they’re not savages!
LOL Try coming here to Eliot, ME, population 6,318. No Starbucks, McDonalds, Burger King, or pizza joints. Couple of convenience stores and a dollar general. We roll the streets up after 1900 hrs.
I once spent the night in a town where the only chains were three gas stations. Two of them were out of order, and the guy working at the last one simply told me “we don’t sell gas”.
Really, did anyone think for even a moment that Nowheresville wasn’t the actual name of the town?
Well, in the previous strip, Alex said that her map app just laughed at her when she tried to find in…

Given the comic, he probably means that literally.
Starbucks really is everywhere… like a plague of sorts.
I wonder which supervillain is their CEO. Sounds like a perfect plan to take over the world.
Dr. evil
If you rearrange the letters for Starbucks, you get Illuminati.
Only after the fourth double espresso though.
now that they’re there i guess its not Nowheres-ville anymore, its Now-Heres-Ville!
Well, this certainly isn’t getting any rosier…

Only three visible Starbucks shops? This place really is a backwater.

Anyone else suddenly got the “Dukes of Hazard” intro playing in their mind too?
Not to mention a banjo?
Don’t spank the banjo – it is invaluable to know when to get sazzy with the paddle.
I bet that guy has 2 cell phones in his pocket…
Plus one old-fashioned (more than 3 months old) smartphone.
Cell phones are things to show the young generation how primitive your childhood was. (Actually, they were convenient for dinosaur hunting.)
I’ll keep my good old reliable wind-up radiophone, thank you. I can get a whole 30 seconds of talk time from only 5 hours of intense cranking!
