How to End Your Comic Strip
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 React to a Friend's Good News
When we were comedians, the real Ric used to be described, in his introduction, as “a psychotic ball of stress.” Now he works in a job where he is appreciated for his level head and steady hand on the tiller.
Not well appreciated, but at least somewhat appreciated.
His company gives the employees little mementos and awards to commemorate various milestones working for the company. I think it was the ten-year mark when Ric came into his office to find a small cardboard box on his chair. He opened it to find a nice metal keychain of the company logo in a presentation box, and a folded piece of paper. It turned out to be instructions for his supervisor for how to present the gift to Ric, including the specific directive: “Tell the employee how important they are, to you and to the team.”
And in a way, they did exactly that.

How to Be Patient
At my old office job, there was a honcho from corporate who would come in every now and then to settle someone’s hash. I found it easy to remember his last name because it rhymed with plow. All I had to do was sing the Mr. Plow jingle from the Simpsons using his name instead of plow, and I was golden.
I told that to my immediate supervisor. We shared a small laugh, then she got deadly serious and said, “Yeah, stop doing that.”
