    Forget ‘Die shelving unit die!’. Should be, ‘Burn house! Burn!’

    Apparently Ikea isn’t worth the money you save.

    Rat doesn’t always have the best Ikeas.

    Freakin’ Do-It-Yourself stores sell junk to the vain and gullible. Are you listening, Rat?

    There’s just no match for something you’ve put your own effort into. But Rat found a way to fire himself.

    at least he gets to keep the Allen wrench. Although Rat will probably get upset that he didn’t notice the “r” in wrench…

    Yesterday’s strip is evidence to me that Pastis has not lost his creativity. This comic is not likely to become stale for a long time.

    I’ve purchased furniture like this before. I wanted to do exactly what Rat did.

    I know that’s really Pig’s ear, but doesn’t it look like Goat is sticking his tongue out at Rat?

    The old Ikea commercial where one kid was chasing another with a chair always cracked me up. That chair would have been tinder if it were ever used to hit anyone, and the person being hit would have been unscathed.

    I love comics that are just fun to look at. XD Like this one, although it fills me with dread.

    I once destroyed a metal shelfing unit out of anger and frustration. It still sits in the basement gnarled and twisted and my children call it my sculpture.
