How to End Your Comic Strip

March 28, 2022 by Scott Meyer

There it is. I predicted that it would take around six years to rerun them all, and I was right. This is nothing short of a triumph for my ability to perform basic math.

You still have my gratitude.

So, now that I’ve rerun them all with comments, what will I do with the comic strip now? The answer is, “Something.”

Will I post them all again, this time without commentaries? Maybe with different commentaries? Or maybe I’ll write new commentaries commenting on the old commentaries?

Or, will I do . . . something else?

Please keep checking the site and see!

How to Embrace Progress

March 25, 2022 by Scott Meyer

It is an interesting paradox. You create a product that’s sole reason for existing is to take up space in packages, then you must ship it all over the world from your factory. Logically, there must be trucks, boxcars, and shipping containers traveling all over the world, transporting nothing but brand-new packing peanuts and rolls of bubble wrap.

That must be a fairly low-stress run for a trucker. No need to worry about the shipment getting damaged, and the fuel costs have to be lower than usual. It also would be a real kick in the pants for any hijacker who steals the shipment looking for stuff they can sell.

You can’t tell me Indy lecturing a hall full of offended, crying German students wouldn’t have been a better movie.

How to Understand Generalizations

March 20, 2022 by Scott Meyer

I grew up in a small town. I remember being told many times that the city was full of crime and violence. I also remember our house being burgled, and that the guy who ran the tiny little store at a crossroads out amongst the farms nearly died when a robber hit him repeatedly in the face with a large can of V-8.

From that day forward, I was just as fearful of crime in the country as I was in the city. Also, I never developed a taste for V-8.

How to Vent Your Frustratio

Another Mission Impossible movie came out between the one mentioned in this comic and now. Mission: Impossible Fallout. In it, Tom Cruise and his team had to operate as fugitives, and he dangled from the underside of an elevator.

How to Dissect a Plot Problem

March 16, 2022 by Scott Meyer

The last 6 years have been pretty disheartening for many of us, but I can honestly say that they haven’t made me more pessimistic. As this comic proves, I was already pretty pessimistic to begin with.
