Weekly Saturday Review
Hello again, and welcome to The Saturday Comics Week in Review. That's a long title for such a simple concept, but it was the best I could come up with this week. Maybe it will stick, maybe it will be replaced by something even longer and more complicated. But that's not why you've visited today, on to the comics!

I have never been to an IKEA and, to my knowledge, have never owned a piece of their furniture. This does not stop me from hating them with great passion. From what I understand, IKEA is basically the Scandinavian version of Wal-Mart. With this understanding, I can determine that IKEA sells garbage to stupid people at a marginal discount, $1.93 instead of $1.99 for example. All that being said, however, buying some crap from IKEA is a better idea than buying a couch from someone that you don't intimately know. Take the case of the cat in the couch for example. Would you want a cat living in your sofa? I didn't think so.

"Well that all fine and good, but your head is shaped like a human anus. Wait, I have an idea! Why don't we just call you Mr. Asshead? It's like a nick-name because it's fun for us and it can't really insult you because your head is shaped like an ass."
"Just kidding, we don't hire people with asses for heads."

Because that's what parents do in real life. All the parents I know watch intently as their children slice hookers with samurai swords and shoot cops with AK-47s. Of course, most of the parents I know are giving tips on where the bazooka is and the most efficient way to steal the tank. And none of them even own a Bible.

Isn't that what every artist wants when they ask for an opinion? We don't want to know what sucks, we just want you to tell us why you like it, even if you don't. That's why I don't consider myself part of that group. Please, tell me what you like and especially tell me what you don't like. I would love to know what you hate about my writings, it makes me better at what I do.
Webcomic of the Week will be up late tonight so you might want to read it tomorrow.

The Butthead comment reminds me of a Fry and Laurie sketch where a guy named Derek Nippl-e insisted his named was pronounced like a small piece of metal falling on a desk.
Ikea is awesome. Don't knock it till you've tried it. Some of their stuff is cheap crap, but a lot of it is interesting and nifty both design-wise and quality-wise. I just got two lime green plastic chalices for 2 bucks. I also purchased a solid bookcase for $20. Ikea is really not much like Walmart at all.
I saw that sketch and wondered if it was a rip off of the Monty Python sketch featuring Mr. Luxury-Yacht, pronounced Throat Warbler Mangrove?
You know it takes me having to type it out to realize how insane that sounds.
Anonymous-
did you not read the whole sentence? it's the wal-mart of scandanavia. just because they have better standards than we do doesn't mean it's a quality store over there.
I have to defend Ikea too, primarily because I despise Wal-mart and all it stands for. I think Ikea is way more socially responsible. Way more "Target" than "Wal-mart". just my two cents' worth . . .
(have you see "Wal-mart: The High Cost of Low Price"?!)
