How to Understand Why Other People Don’t See What Is Obvious

There will be no new comic next week, while I travel south to do battle with the dreaded Portuguese bureaucracy! (It actually doesn't feel worse than American bureaucracy to me, but complaining about bureaucracy seems like a time-honored Portuguese tradition, and who am I to fight it?)

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.

How to Be Yourself

There have been times when I’ve been afraid, and I have muttered the following to myself:

I must not fear.

Fear is the mind-killer.

Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.

Many of you probably recognize that’s a quote from Dune. Obviously, I wasn’t afraid of looking like a dork.
