Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Exactly. There’s nothing - almost nothing maybe - in larger stores or chains that is not designed to make you buy things. Even the way through, Ikea is obviously god emperor there but other follow closely.
I always feel like a rat in a maze when I go to IKEA.
It's literally a single path with no branches (except for the shortcuts), Pinky.
And after you've been a couple times you learn the shortcuts to the meat balls pretty well.
Oh man, I worked right by the new IKEA that got built and before long I could get through that thing in a minute flat
It's a spiritual maze, Brain. Are you done looking at the curtain rings yet?

...what a savings!

Yeah, the one (and very likely only) time I went to IKEA, I bought almost nothing, because the whole store was just one big stampede, pressing through that singular path.
Never go on a weekend.
At first, when Ikea finally came to where I live, I thought that was a cool way to keep traffic flowing and the stress level low. $600 later, after only planning to buy a couple pillows, I realized why the stores are layed out like that.
