Hello fellow Cyanide and Happiness fans!
About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net) and a an extra or two randoms.
Cyanide & Happiness (C&H) is a webcomic created by Rob DenBleyker, Kris Wilson, Dave McElfatrick and Matt Melvin. The comic has been running since 2005 and is published on the website explosm.net along with animated shorts in the same style. Matt Melvin left C&H in 2014, and several other people have contributed to the comic and to the animated shorts… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanide_%26_Happiness
Hope you enjoy and feel free to contribute to the community with art, media, cool stuff about the authors, tattoos, toys and anything else, as long it’s Cyanide and Happiness related!
Ps. Sub to all my comic strip communities…

That's not my experience. I ask someone where a really strange item is, and they'll tell me the exact aisle, exact shelf, and exact bin. All from memory in 2.5 nanoseconds.
Depends on where I am at the time. If I'm in Austin (City) and I ask someone where a really strange item is, I see their eyes glaze over, then they pull out their phone and proceed to check the store's website.
When I'm in Wyoming and I ask someone where a really strange item is, they ask me what I'm trying to accomplish. Then they proceed to give me a master class in the subject matter as well as a full parts list
I tried that once. I literally showed him a picture. His response was to ask me what I was working on and then when I explained. He was like "oh you should do this instead and pointed me towards something that wouldn't work for what I was trying to do at all. Then he argued with me about it. I was like... man just show me where this fucking item is I don't give a shit about your opinions I know what I'm doing. He had no idea and I had to go find it myself.

Whatever you do, don't go with your dad, end up spending 2 hours there.
Depends if you get the old man or one of the kids, the kids just pull out their phone and look it up in the same app is used only to find that it’s wrong since there is no aisle 57E. Old man will know where it actually is and even explain how to use it well if I want
I agree. Until I read your comment I didn't even know what the comic was about.
Matters which Home Depot and what hours. If you go during slow time. Some old person who is doing this as a retirement gig will tell you what you really need etc., but I’ve also experienced not being able to get someone while it’s busy and having the department-specific person MIA. Many parts are missing even if the website says they are in stock because people steel them. I had an employee tell me that the didn’t sell the individual plumbing part that I needed, but winked and nudged that I should buy a kit that had it and return it without that piece. He was like, either that or essentially steal the part out of the box when no one was looking. That’s your ghetto Home Depot. In the more upscale town Home Depot, they are better stocked and less busy, so generally more helpful.
At Home Depot? They're definitely different in your area then. Around here they all run away when they see you need help, just like this comic.
