I get lots of emails asking me to insert ads for spurious junk into this blog, but I don't believe in it. If you enjoy this blog and would like to 'pay' something then you could buy one of my books, review it on Amazon, or buy me a book from my Amazon wish list. To those who have done this, I am very grateful. Thanks.

Your work here is normally fantastic, but this one is brilliant.
My rare encounters with Ikea assembly instructions have always made me despair at their misuse of the comics medium (kind of) in an effort to avoid the costs of having translations made of word-based instructions. Particularly fabulous, then, to have those examples of bad comics inspire this instance of very good comics. I bow down, sir.
that’s genius xx
Thanks! And that’s a very lovely comment coming from someone as talented as you Dave. I wasn’t sure if anyone at all would ‘get it’. Bill Bailey once said ‘I never want to get married because I don’t want to spend my Sunday afternoons standing in IKEA arguing about spoons.’ That always makes me laugh.
Speaking as someone who almost came to blows over a chest of drawers, I loved this. I think you should photocopy it and scatter copies around Ikea to let people know that there’s someone out there who understands.
Brilliant!
As you know I actually enjoy assembling IKEA furniture but I am sad.
That’s just fantastic. Thankfully the last thing I bought from Ikea that needed assembly was just a cardboard box.
When i first saw it I thought, ah, he hasn’t bothered to colour this one. Then I smiled. Grinned. And burst out laughing. It’s brilliant.
