Aha! This is the first episode where I did not use an existing LEGO set as the, err... set. Here we welcome back Houston Texas and an unidentified minion.
We also welcome back really bad photography. Poor lighting and no tripod are the culprits here. That's why the "instruction manual" appears to change colour from pink to red. It is actually pink.
While, for various obvious reasons, I haven't personally experienced IKEA furniture, I have witnessed it. To be fair, it's not just IKEA that is a problem, but they are the most famous (and international) purveyors of DIY furniture.
- Panel 1: Chief Houston Texas is holding up a book, talking to an assistant.
- Chief Houston Texas:
- Instructions, page one: safety. It is important that you always use the correct tools for the project.
- Panel 2: A view of the tools they have with them.
- Chief:
- Erm, screwdriver, spanner, axe and pickaxe, lubricant, hammer-drill, buzz-saw, chain-saw… that'll do.
- Panel 3: The Chief is reading from the instruction manual while his assistant is off-screen working on whatever it is they are building.

- One hour later.
- Chief:
- Step 318, insert bolt z10 firmly into flange b21, ensuring nuts do not obstruct hinges.
- SFX:
- Chop THUD. Chop THUD
- Buzzz
- Bang! Bang!
- Tappity tap…
- CRASH!!!
- Panel 4: We see that the assistant has been building some shelves. The shelves are very wonky.
- Caption:
- Several hours later.
- Chief:
- Right… that's the last time we buy shelves from IKEA!
