Exploding Closet has a copyrighted image from the same artist as Honest John's Dealership. As a replacement I'll open with an example from Gaston Lagaffe.

That or the first two panels stacked vertically...I'm good either way. [tup]

I think the second panel on its own works.

It's a little unclear that it's a closet, but I don't think that's unclear enough to justify another panel that only adds that.

Maybe this one from Girl Genius? It might not be entirely clear that it's a storage closet, though. Or the top panel from the following page?

[up] I don't think either will look as good at wiki size as the Lagaffe example.

Would prefer to closet to be more visible, but it gets the point across. [tup] for 3.

I'm always for more Franco-Belgian comic illustrations, so I vote for 3 too.

Seemed to have enough votes, so it's up, potholed and tagged. Does it need a caption?

I want to make a reference to The Container Store, but nothing concise is coming to mind.

Updated the Image Source page. The image is fine without a caption, so if there's no consensus for one we can leave it captionless.

This thread should be starred, btw.

It's been this long, I think we can do without one for now. Locking up.
