Reality Check by Dave Whamond for November 23, 2024

Ooooo. Ralph resorting to cheap puns. The basest form of comedy. That’s why we love him.

Some say hoarding books like that is shelf-ish, but I say if you have the clams to buy them, go for it.

Very Ikea’ish…

It could be cool to have a bookshelf shaped just like that

Shelf-help books…

Okay… now I want one of those! I wonder if I could build it myshelf?

It’s nice to have someone who is shelf-conscious.

Have to put the Elf somewhere. He’s coming soon.

he took a shelfie…

Get rid of the useless “S”, all you need is HELF. Lots of HELF!

I like it, and I want one!

A novel idea.

I want the Escher version. Holds more books.

In case anyone was wondering what it was…

Nice!

DIY…Do-it-yourshelf.

Poor guy can’t afford top shelf tomes.

H E-H E-H E works too …!

( for comic books )

I’ve seen bookshelves that were letters. So you could purchase them to spell specific words.

very clever!

Perfect for Shelf Examination ! ;-)

I think I’m gonna make these an’ sell ‘em!… (no worries, Dave… I’ll send you royalties!)

IKEA idea?

And if it falls, he can be considered a shelfless person.

I think I actually like that for myself! Ikea, Amazon..?

As a book collector, I find it to be a cute concept, but a very inefficient form of storage. In terms of shelf space, you’re not getting a lot of bang for your buck.

My favorite book-related tchotchke is a small plaque I picked up in a crafts store. It has an illustration of a shelf of books, and the motto, “Be True to Your Shelf.” I couldn’t resist the wordplay.

Seems to take up a great deal of space while not holding very many books. Not very practical.
