How to Drastically Change Your Appearance

One time I shaved my beard as a surprise for Missy.

Actually, my hand slipped and I took off part of my moustache. My options were to cut the other side the same way and tell people I was pioneering a new look (a goatee paired with a Hitler moustache), or just shave it all off and start over. I chose to shave it off.

Missy came home from work, took one look at me, and said, “Grow it back.”

Note from Missy: the facial hair rules were one of the worst parts of working for Disney. They allowed a mustache, and Scott tried that, but … most guys with just a mustache look like Swedish porn stars. So he spent five years bare-faced and Elmer Fuddish until Disney changed the rules and allowed beards. He had his facial hair back within a month.

How to Train Your Back-Up

This is the first mention of the RJ-17 form!

I never did specify what it is the company in the comic strip actually does. Probably because when I created the comic I worked for a company where I had only vague ideas about what it did. It was a group of various people with disparate job titles working together for a company that’s name was a nonsense word. In other words, COMEDY GOLD!

How to Deal with Visions

I think dreams are about whatever you think they were about after the fact. They’re just a bunch of random images that your brain tries to make sense of. The real meaning isn’t in the dream, but in your interpretation of the images. Thus, I’ve decided that my recurring dreams where I’m still in school and have forgotten both my homework and my pants mean that I am a great guy, because I know deep down that I don’t need homework … or pants.

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.
