How to Make a Bold Fashion Choice

May 02, 2022 by Scott Meyer

I have been creating new comics for about two months now, and posting them for about a month. I am thrilled and delighted with the enthusiasm of the response I’ve received, and shocked at the realization of how much effort the strip requires. (Imagine how much worse it would be if I actually drew new pictures for the damned thing!)

I have taken the advice of several readers and started a Patreon for Basic Instructions.

https://www.patreon.com/basicinstructions

It has one tier, with a suggested fee of $3.00 a month. Joining the Patreon is a way of letting me know that you want me to keep making strips, helping me cover my overhead, and compensating me for my efforts. (Yes, “efforts.” I make more than one effort.)

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.
