How to Apply Adult Judgment Like an Adult

July 13, 2026 by Scott Meyer

I said this on the commentary for my Patreon subscribers, so I'll throw it in here too. If you watch the movie, you'll see the scene I'm referring to, and you'll see that Clint was in better shape than 90% of guys his age. But, by modern standards, for a movie star, he was not looking great. Most of us would be delighted to be in the shape he was in, but would still not choose to appear shirtless in theaters across the country.

As always, thanks for considering joining my Patreon, where you can get early access to comics and exclusive commentaries; and for using my Amazon Affiliate links (US, UK, Canada). As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

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.)

As always, thanks for using my Amazon Affiliate links (US, UK, Canada).
