How to Proceed When a Technology is Not Mature

January 06, 2025 by Scott Meyer

I made a deliberate choice this year not to do holiday strips and to keep the comics coming at a normal pace through the holidays. I feel like between holiday themed comics, reruns, and weeks off, the period between Thanksgiving and New Year’s is sort of thin for the comic strip fan. New Year’s has come and gone, so I’m taking next week off. See you on the January 20th! Here’s hoping 2025 is a good bit less interesting than it looks like it may be.

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 Deal with Your Mistakes

February 25, 2022 by Scott Meyer

A long time ago, Missy and I were in a cash-poor position, and I decided to try earning a little side money by applying at a temp agency. They tested my typing ability and basic familiarity with Microsoft Office. I had used word processors before, but not Word. And at that point it had been a few years. In fact, the most advanced word processor I had used ran on a black and white Mac, if that gives you an idea. A few things had changed.

They asked me what the squiggly red line under a word in my document meant. I didn’t know.

Think about that. I did not know what the red line, the foundational interface of a modern spell checker, meant. To make it worse, while failing to answer that question, I looked directly at a misspelled word and didn’t catch the error.

I was not offered any work.

How to Express Admiration

February 18, 2022 by Scott Meyer

Not to mention the subterranean city hidden beneath the Magic Kingdom.

I once had two middle-aged men walk up to me while I was working in one of the parks and ask me to solve an argument for them. One of the men said that he had heard there was an extensive tunnel system under the Magic Kingdom.

The other guy said, “No, there isn’t.”

I said, “There is.”

The first guy said, “I told you.”

The second guy said, “No, there isn’t.”

I said, “I’ve been in it, more than once.”

The second guy said, “You’re lying.”

I don’t have a lot of faith left in mankind’s ability to settle our differences.
