Leave home to buy some spices, then go to a wrong grocery store and make a mess there breaking everything on the shelves

Don't forget to kidnap a few employees too while you're in the wrong store

And cut out their tongues and get arrested.

"Listen, I'm white. Columbus is associated with settlers and colonialism which the left unfairly demonized so poor Columbus got cancelled! Because I'm white I feel personally attacked because fox news says I should be so I'm celebrating out of spite even though I don't really even know what I'm celebrating! Make America Genocide Again!"

Hundreds of years from now people will claim that only you knew that your route to the spice store existed while in reality everyone knew that it was too long.

Unironically saw this meme while in line after having just done that.

You got lost in the spice aisle? Because they generally are straight lines.

Eh, got lost looking for ground ginger. Started in the spice aisle, but they were out, so some directed me to the produce area (apparently didn't realize I didn't want whole ginger). After a bit more wandering, I turned some up in the Asian food section.

All ginger is ground ginger.

Completely off-topic: That cartoonist is continuing a tradition that goes all the way back to George Herriman near the beginning of the 20th century. He had an incredible strip called Krazy Kat, but it started out like the Tom Waits sub-strip there, under a strip he ended up abandoning.

I'm betting the cartoonist here knew about that and is continuing the tradition, which is pretty cool.

The strip is a tribute to Tony Millionare, which is also where the sub-strip comes from.

Dresden Codak used to be a wonderful webcomic with great surreal humour and some super funky layouts. Then over a decade ago the author started a long, boring and confusing storyline which is apparently still ongoing? Crazy.

Anyway, mostly everything under "One-Offs" in the archive is solid gold and highly recommended. The rest of it... don't bother.
