How to Have a Frank Discussion About a Recurring Issue

January 05, 2026 by Scott Meyer

First new comic of the new year. The optimistic beginning of our fresh new lap of the drain, as it were. I hope you and everyone you care about have had good holidays and will have a good year. As for me, I can’t really complain.

Well, as I’ve said many times, I can complain, but no one will want to hear it because I am, in fact, the luckiest person any of you know. You’re all a big part of that, and I appreciate it.

How to Compare and Contrast

January 05, 2022 by Scott Meyer

I worked at the juice bar at a health club. The sales staff used to come sit at the bar and talk about their work. I would listen to them. I have never even considered signing up for a membership at a health club since.

Also, the lifeguard used to come hang out at the juice bar. Note: I did not say that he did this when he was “off duty.” He would often be the only lifeguard on duty when he was at my bar instead of in his super-tall chair by the pool. I asked him how he could see people drowning in the pool in another room while watching the TV at the juice bar. His answer was, “Someone’ll come get me. There’s plenty of time. The human brain can last four minutes without oxygen.”

Like I said, I haven’t even considered joining a health club since I worked at that place.
