Not exactly a craft store, but “Missing Threads” reminded me of something I used to read. A bit of a search pulled up “Worsted for Wear” (http://www.worstedforwear.com/). It was a knitting comic, not fabric, but close enough to click in my brain.
… “wandered off?” Do you also refer to nuclear explosions are somewhat warmish? They’ve not wandered off, they’ve yelled “Fark all this noise!” and ran outside and took the next train to WTF. It’s actually one of the poster children on TVTropes for ‘Plot Kuzdu” and “The Chris Carter Effect” – both of which are pretty spot on from here at least.
To be fair, tickets to WTF were on a pretty good sale… hmm.
(Yep, still do read it intermittently, but mannnnnnnnn have they gone to a dimension where no one’s ever even heard of rails, much less being on them.)
I recently did a re-read, and am trying to figure at exactly what point it left the rails. Yeah, odd things showed up fairly early, but they were also kinda small and didn’t affect much. And it just kept going, and going and going, and all of a sudden it’s really really weird.
”Slice of life’? That sounds boring.’
‘Well, have you tried reading the first couple comics? It would only take a minute.’
‘Nah, it sounds boring.’
‘Hundreds of fans love it and check for updates every day.’
‘Nah, sounds boring.’
‘You’re not even going to give it a chance, are you?’
‘Nope, sounds boring.’

Is anyone making a comic about life in a craft and fabric store? I have some friends that would read that.
Trae Dorn
Not a comic (or about fabric), but my friend Lee wrote a pretty entertaining book about working in a craft store during the Glue Slime craze. https://www.amazon.com/Glue-Famine-Lee-Bradford/dp/1983969567

No one has found an/or pulled the Drama tag! It is not short packed!
Trae Dorn
*looks at I Hate November* Yeah… there’s never been drama in this comic, sure…
Calvsie
I meant missing threads.

Wapsi Square wandered off its slice-of-life start, so evolution is possible.

The real person this is based on was genuinely confused at the concept that a comedy comic was a THING.
Ed Rhodes
I remember being confused that DRAMATIC comics were a thing. I never understood Mary Worth or Prince Valiant!
Xero
To be fair the poster she has up implies it’s darker then it apparently is
