I have never seen in a Target, nor a Wallmart. Actually, before reading Willis’ comics, I didn’t even knew that there was such thing as a store chain called Target.
It was confusing when Ethan was searching for toys.
There are Targets here in Australia but as of yet, no Walmarts but frankly we already have things like K-Mart, Big-W, Myer and David Jones, so there is no need.
There used to be a JC Penney in that spot in College Mall. Target was a stand-alone but in the same parking lot as the mall, very close. The JC Penney closed down several years back, Target moved into JC Penney’s spot (with a massive remodel, the JC Penney had been two stories, the new Target is one), and they razed the building that had been the Target.
College Mall has changed drastically over the last few years. I was shocked when I made a visit home in 2011 and went over there with my mom. The mall had always struggled with occupancy. Their solution was to knock down a bunch of walls for fewer, larger stores. There is even a tiny food court now (four restaurants) when there wasn’t before. It will be interesting to see what happens to the mall again when Sears inevitably shuts down.
Here in L.A. it’s almost a faux pas to have a mall WITHOUT a Target. The Fox Hills mall has one that’s entirely indoors – no direct outside entrances whatsoever!
If Walky had Velcro shoes, would he actually close them instead of leaving them untied – or, I guess, “unlatched?” Because if so, he should really get those. Untied shoes seem hazardous at the best of times. With Mike as a roommate, doubly so.
I was very sad when I had to stop wearing the velcro shoes I had managed to find in my size because they were too old and shabby 🙁 I may be 22, but man, velcro makes Everything (except pants) better. I need to find a good new pair like them that will last longer.
Aglets are baby ags. They subsist chiefly on the milky excrescence of the mother ag until they can be weaned onto the husks of small, clinging plant seeds that form the caloric base of the adult ag diet. Duh!
Aglets are to your laces like Telomeres are to your DNA.

Is that a Star Trek reference?
(The Enterprise series, I believe – my personal favorite, in terms of the ship-interior set designs being [somewhat?] more realistic.)
God damn showlaces! The ones on my boots keep getting undone whenever I go faster than a brisk walk, but whenever I come home with a pressing need to hit the bathroom they suddenly become a pain to undo! DAMN YOU LACES!

You need to undo your laces to pee? Not quite picturing the anatomy involved…
davidbreslin101
I CAN picture the anatomy, and I really wish I couldn’t.
HEYOUGUYZ!
if ur mum is not cool about mud in the home, you gotta ditch the boots in the mud-room, which is often not equipped for peein’

Is this a weird OCD thing, or a lame giant penis joke?
The poster might be from the frozen white north (as I am). Walking into your house with your boots on in the winter is a recipe for a) wet floors to clean up, and b) falling on your backside.
Strangely, boots aren’t made for gripping wet hardwood!

In many places it is cosume to take off your shoes before entering the main part of the house. Helps keeping a clean floor.

Needing to pee and not being able to undo your laces would be bad for keeping the floor clean…

Fair enough, we don’t get much snow in South Carolina. But if you do capture a spectacular wipeout on video you could make $10k on tv.

Well, I can say without fear of losing face, I’ve never seen an in-door Target store.
scabbert
There’s a fair number of them that have occupied anchor locations in malls, and therefore have indoor entrances. I’ve been to two, myself.
Digidestined of Trust (Tim)
I can honestly say as well I’ve never seen one of them either.

A Target is being put into a corner position at South Hills Village near Pittsburgh and should be opening soon.
Plasma Mongoose
I have been in plenty of Targets but I have never been inside a Walmart in my life.
Pyr05
Who wants to be in a Mart that sells walls? Unless you’re a contractor…

About as many people as want to get tar.

In LA do they pronounce it “tar-ZHAY”?
Aisling
In Portland OR, the city Target is set into the bottom of one of their tall buildings. You have to go into a lobby then upstairs to get to it.
asdsadas
She didnt notice the velcro before?
David
She didn’t notice Walky’s velcro shoes because Walky didn’t have velcro shoes.
Plasma Mongoose
If only he wore velcro in the first place, he would still have his shoes.

Kafloobop
They make shoes that aren’t slip on?
Rognik
Yes, they’re called velcro. I know there are those funny rope-like types, but no one really WEARS them, right?
Dibullba
I wear them, but I never untie them. That technically counts as slip on right >.>
Caleb
Yes.

Decorated with Pokemon. Or was he a Digimon kid?

What’s wrong with Velcro, Dotty? You know that shoelaces are bullshit, right?
Yotomoe
Shoe laces are made evil devil snakes.
Aizat
Especially aglets. Those sinister aglets.
Plasma Mongoose
While velcro is a product of alien origin… apparently.
Aizat
See, aliens do exist. Eat that Scully.

Well, as we all know, the ends of shoelaces are called aglets.
Their true purpose is sinister.

I never tie my shoes. I just tie them up when I firt get them and slip my feet in and out of them.
Aizat
So do I.

Same here.

As do I.

I do this as well when I can’t find shoes that have velcro in
my size.

Once I tried to tie a velcro thingy from an older pair of ruined sandals to a pair of laced shoes. …it didn’t work, so now I do this too.
