Aside from the Black Plague and Smallpox, they are in the post-apocalyptic world. A gendercide toxiplasmosis may not have been the only thing that had been released.
tune: “Maria,” Leonard Bernstein & Stephen Sondheim, West Side Story, 1957
We’ve been walking in circles half the day
Ikea, Ikea, Ikea, Ikea, Ikea
We need quantum eyebolts—where the hell is Bin 20-A?
Ikea, Ikea, Ikea, Ikea, Ikea, Ikea, Ikea, Ikea,
Ikea!
We bought all the parts at Ikea
Found everything au fait
And built a swirly space-time gate
Ikea!
The lifestyle store for you and me-a
We walked holes in our socks
Then ate some meatballs and gravlax
Ikea!
Ignore opaque cartoon instruction
Use mad sci. to subvert it for fluxion
Ikea!
Reach alternate worlds with Ikea!
We’ve got Fløglat and Wėrf, now where’s Åelsküng?
Ikea!
Sounds plausible to me
Does the word “swirly” remind anyone of anything else, like, say for example, a toilet flushing?
Reminds me of the Cat on Red Dwarf- he’s the pilot, as he is good at avoiding swirly things…
… one of the biggest plagues? There were others that matched it?
Aside from the Black Plague and Smallpox, they are in the post-apocalyptic world. A gendercide toxiplasmosis may not have been the only thing that had been released.
Almost 50% of the population is pretty big, though, and depending on how you count, this is total eradication.
I mean, the Spanish Flu isn’t small fries, but…
Swüürli? In Home Décor. Just follow the arrows on the floor, then turn left at the Ęksterpåte shoe polish.

Did you know? There’s already an Ikea song.
Did you know? There are already several Ikea songs.
Did you know? There’s two versions of the Mitch Benn Ikea song.

(Honestly, listen to it all the way through, there are two lines that are different.)
I don’t know why Tip thinks he’s attractive. Maybe it’s those endless lines of beautiful women who line up to have sex with him…
Not only women… or human… or mammals…
All the best swirly gates are made from Ikea parts, of course.
….though Lovetronian Science can make do with coat hangers in a pinch.
Lovetronian Science does BEST with crystal pyramids and a terrifyingly groovy ritual. But yes, that works.
Except on Tuesdays, on Tuesdays you’d better hope you can find enough discount herring and shoe polish
Proof that no matter how bad or insane your reality gets, there’s always somebody that has it weirder.
How embarrassing. I must be the only one here who also reads Mènage á 3.
Nope. But thanks for pointing out the connection.
Same nope. But I admit I don’t get it.
Got it on re-read – but MA3 is more swirly-go-round…..
I do, but that strip hasn’t managed to make my mind go there automatically from a mere “swirly”, probably for the reason Robert The Addled said.
Not the only one. And I wouldn’t be surprised if Tip knew of the alternative usage of swirly.
Do you think there’s a urban dictionary entry for that?
*HER* murder plague??? Has Tip run into the guilty Spark who set it off in the first place? o_O
