How to Utilize and Counteract Sarcasm

When this comic originally ran, I got accused of “punching down,” which, in retrospect, was a fair criticism. The thing is, I didn’t realize that I was doing that at the time. This was the first time I had to come to grips with the fact that people saw me as “Scott Meyer, successful web cartoonist and novelist,” while I still saw myself as “Scott Meyer, Walt Disney World ride operator, whose hobbies are, at the moment, getting some traction.”

That said, a frustrating bagger is something everybody can relate to. Everybody has experienced bad service. I just needed to realize that nobody wants to hear me complain about it. This was one of the major drawbacks of my comics’ main character being a slightly fictionalized version of myself.
