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.

It's not stupid, it's deliberate. I had a friend who did consulting work (in a different area) with a large grocery chain, and they deliberately change the layout so you're spending more time in the store, looking at things, because chances are that you'll buy more. If the store becomes a little too crowded, they'll just change the music to hurry you along.
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.
