Here's what the cartoonist had to say about this one: True story. The store where I saw this also has “Meal Solutions” over the entrance in old-timey wooden letters, and the supermarket’s web address in old-timey wooden letters over the exit. There’s something somehow very strange about seeing a URL carved out of tree parts. Click here to go see it full-size, and check out the comments while you're there.
