Tina’s Groove
About Tina’s Groove
What do you get when you mix quirky co-workers, questionable customers and a sensible, lovable career waitress? The answer is TIna’s Groove—the comic strip that delivers quick wit, lively humor and lots of laughs.
Centered on the life of Tina, a server at Pepper’s Fine Dining Restaurant, TIna’s Groove chronicles the daily challenges of a waitress trained in the art of maintaining composure in the midst of madness. At work and at home, we follow Tina as she copes with friends, relationships, and the day-to-day interactions of a working woman living life on her own terms.
Serving readers since 2002, TIna’s Groove continues to be the comic strip that’s frequently clipped from the page and pinned to cash registers, fridges and cubicle walls.
