NOTE TO YOU, THE PEOPLE OF THE FUTURE:
Because of the lag time between when I create a comic and when it runs, I am writing this message to you from Monday the 4th, the day before the US presidential election. Needless to say, I am having difficulty concentrating. Also, I have a great deal of admin to do involving the release of my new novel, That's Not Right (Available now on Amazon, Kindle, and Audible!) so I am taking this week off. The comic will be back next week. Sorry for any inconvenience.
END TRANSMISSION FROM THE BEFORE TIMES!!

How to Address an Ongoing Argument
Of course, the problem with the stun setting is that whoever you stun falls down, and could easily break a bone, suffer serious neck or back injuries, receive a concussion, or “accidentally” die in any number of ways.
I figure the Starfleet equivalent of Internal Affairs would be bugging Kirk on a weekly basis.
Starfleet Inquisitor: I’m here to talk about that Klingon you killed.
Kirk: I stunned him.
Starfleet Inquisitor: In the back, and then he fell three hundred feet.
Kirk: It’s not my fault he was standing on the edge of a cliff.
Starfleet Inquisitor: We have reason to believe you stunned him, then dragged him to the cliff and rolled him off.
Kirk: (stuns the Starfleet Inquisitor.)

How to Tackle a Project That Seems Impossible
I was the receptionist at an office where everyone had to fill out a specific form every day. Almost nobody did it. The person in charge made it my responsibility to make sure everyone filled out their form.
Of course, I was the lowest person on the totem pole in that office, so I couldn’t use fear of punishment to make them fill out the form. Instead, I had to rely on charm and their respect for me and my opinion of them.
I’d bet that you can predict how well that worked.

How to Explain Yourself
A mutual friend once asked Ric how someone gets through my shell to know “the real Meyer.” Ric told them that there is no shell, and what they thought was a shell was “the real Meyer.” Ric told me that later, and I found it funny. He also told me that the person he was talking to looked horrified at that idea, which I found hilarious.
Which, now that I think about it, might be part of the problem.
