How to Apply the Laws of Physics to Personal Relationships

I remember when I wrote this comic, Missy read the first panel and said, “That’s so lame.” That’s when I knew I’d struck a nerve!

Of course, the idea of using women’s revulsion at the idea of dating Rick to construct a motor is not practical. It would be much simpler to have women push a car and dangle Rick out on a pole behind them, like the opposite of a carrot on a stick.

Note from Missy: I don’t remember the comment Scott mentions above. I actually really like “I must destroy you.” I wish I had the temerity to say things like that in real life.

How to Buy a Car

This comic is based directly on two different experiences I’ve had with car salesmen. Panel one comes from a time that I told a dealer that I was looking for a small hatchback with a manual transmission and air conditioning. He said, “I have just the thing,” and led me to a Chevy Beretta with an automatic transmission and no air.

Another time I told the salesman what I wanted to pay for the car, what interest rate I wanted, and how much I could put down. He wrote it all down then went to “discuss it with his manager.”

When he came back he said that he had good news, they could give me the car for a higher price, at a higher interest rate, and all I’d have to do was make a larger initial down payment.  I told him that this was not good news, and that he’d failed to deliver any of the things I’d wanted. He told me, “Sir, you have to be flexible.” I told him exactly what I say in the third panel of this comic, and to this day the memory of it makes me proud.

How to Eliminate Clutter

Behold, Missy 2.0! This is the second iteration of Missy, and looking back, I think these are some of my best drawings of her.

The item next to Missy in panel 1 is a Christmas Fez she made for me many years ago. It’s red with white fur trim and a white tassel. It’s just the thing to wear to Christmas parties. Of course, I don’t get invited to many Christmas parties, possibly because people know I’ll wear the fez.

Note from Missy: I’m wondering if it’s me 2.0 or me 3.0 that has the blob of hair that looks like a rooster. I’m thinking it’s actually 3.0.

How to Calm a Frightened Child

This is another comic I really like, and I always regretted that I didn’t find other excuses to use the drawing in panel three.

Looking at the drawing now, I probably could have freaked the kid out by just showing him my jacked up right pinky. You may laugh, but I know a guy with a jacked-up pinky, and he does use it to freak people out, so there is precedent.

Note from Missy: the guy with the jacked-up pinky? Plays the role of the Emperor of the Moon’s number-one moon minion. And yeah, his pinky is totes freaky.

How to Pitch a Movie Idea

I had mentioned Jenkins before this, but I had not shown him. Then I wrote this comic, and wanted a drawing of someone who looked like a famous filmmaker. Missy and I had a friend who looks a bit like George Lucas, so I exaggerated his hair to heighten the effect and used the drawings in this comic.

Later, I needed to show Jenkins. None of the fresh drawing I did looked any good (It may surprise few of you to learn that my art skills are fairly limited, and my drawings tend to be hit and miss). I had always liked these drawings and lamented the fact that I had no reason to ever talk to the film producer character again, so I came up with a half-assed story to explain why the film producer now worked in my office and called it good.

Note from Missy: I don’t think I’m alone here in being anxious to see the half-assed story. Because I totally don’t remember it.
