Black Friday Deals Lead to Scenes Resembling Hockey Brawls


When the prices go down, the tension goes up, as hundreds of thousands of people flooded America's retail stores early Friday morning to try to get the best prices available on a bunch of junk they probably don't really need. It's truly become an American tradition.

It also often brings out the worst in people, as evidenced by a woman in California who used pepper spray in a Wal-Mart. Originally, she was just believed to be a "competitive shopper," but it's now being considered that she used the pepper spray in self defense … while shopping! Either way, it's a scary thought, and it can make the idea of a line brawl in hockey seem a little tame.

Will O'Toole captures that spirit in the cartoon above.

Since graduating from Seton Hall University, Will O'Toole has been doing cartoons for over 30 years for a number of papers (USA Today), magazines (College and Pro Football Weekly) and websites (CBSSportsline.com). He is believed to be the only national cartoonist to have voted for the Heisman Trophy and the Wooden and Naismith Awards.
