Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

You could always set up the spare room as a hobby space that also has a bed. That's what I did with my spare room.

Alternatively to that, you could also just have a cot folded and tucked away

I thought long and hard about the best approach, but that just wasn't feasible.

My couch may be big, but the house in general is very small, and is 120 years old so it comes with architectural oddities and features that must be worked around.

The room in question has a chimney breast against one long wall, at one side of which is a built-in wardrobe which also houses my central heating boiler and plumbing, and at the other side of which are integrated shelves and storage.

Of the other three walls, the room is quite narrow, so the "short ends" (one of which has the window anyway) are too short to do anything with, leaving only one wall left to go at - which also has the door on it, further cutting down on usable space.

So it was really a choice - a bed, or a desk.

My couch genuinely is comfy to sleep on though. You can lie totally flat on it even if you're six-foot-some :)

if you can manage it, murphy beds are great for hobby rooms
