How to Apply Video Game Skills to Your Real Life

Is there anything less macho than using the word macho un-ironically? Yes, two things:

The second least macho thing would be writing a comic about sucking up to your boss and your wife.

The least macho thing is worrying about whether what you’re doing is macho enough.

See what I did there?

How to Create "House Rules"

I once tried to get a bunch of people together to play Monopoly for real money. It didn’t work out. The whole plan called for too large an investment of money and time.

The idea of the violent version of Twister is originally from a joke in my old stand-up act. The punchline was “Sorry man, it said right foot red. – Yeah, but that’s not red! – it is now.”

Note from Missy: In the joke, am I recalling correctly that you referred to the new game as “Fister”? Or did my twisted brain make that up?

Note from Scott: That was what I called the bit in my set list, but I don’t think I referred to it that way in my act.

How to Camouflage an Unsightly Facial Blemish

Instead of coming from a photograph, the woman in panel 2 and the guy in panel 4 were drawn from a program that allows artists to manipulate and pose 3D models of people. That’s why they’re both in unrealistically good shape. There was a way to make the characters heavier, but they didn’t gain weight realistically. (Turns out many people use the program in question to make computer generated erotica. We truly do live in the future!)

In the end, I decided using the program was only a good idea if I wanted the comic to be populated with abnormally attractive people.

Note from Missy: Abnormally attractive, and weirdly robotic. Though I think those programs have improved in the 9 years since this was done.  (So the erotica is … more realistic, I guess?)
