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 Announce the Imminent End of Your Comic Strip

March 09, 2022 by Scott Meyer

It looks like this strip originally ran in July 2015. That’s weird. I usually make my major announcements on April 1st.

Huh, looking at the calendar, it seems April 1st is coming up soon. Hmm.

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.
