My favorite Instruction ever. Now all I have to do is think, "Your hide will make a fine poncho!" and there's a smile on my face....

Yes, my real smile makes people think that i'm going to kill them in their sleep(darn, they figured out my plan! . . . ) But it's a great way to make people leave me alone . . .

The third panel's smile is depressingly like mine.

This is why I do not laugh.

2nd panel is like mine
tho people usually think im high

i don't smile like any of them...mine is too terrifying for me to even see...when i happen to pass a mirror while smiling, i usually become temporarily comatose. man, i want that poncho!

good times...

This is the funniest thing I've seen for weeks!!! I cried laughing!

the third one made me laugh

i have a cross of the first one's eyes and the third one's mouth
which makes me look
quite frankly, a disgustingly scary looking girl :<

my real smile is brought out by thinking of that time i pulled a girl off the bus by her hair and kicked her butt... very, very good times

Still my absolute favourite!! My co-workers are worried about my state of mind though, ever since I posted it on my office door...

This comic made me smile :)

I get this all the time: "Why don't you smile in pictures?"

Uh... I was...

Pure genius. I can't look at one panel in this strip without giggling like a school girl. This is a true masterpiece.

I look exactly like that first panel when i smile. Ever since i first saw this comic I always say "I am genuinely delighted" when I fake a smile for pictures.

This is one of the first I ever saw on this site and still my favorite, partially because I remember having to work it out for myself. If I pay attention, I can manage a smile like panel 2, if I just let loose and grin unselfconsciously it's panel 3.

I just read them all in the last couple of days. This one was my favorite.

Hahaha.. Excellent! This comic is pure genius! Way to go!!

One of my favorite comics every.

OMG.... now I know what my boyf is thinking. I am afraid...... very afraid.

If you removed the beard from the first frame he'd look like Andre Agassi.

You just need to learn the eye movement that goes with the mouth movement that gets that perfect smile. It's a two in one deal. Most people think it's instinctive; I learned it. If you can do that, even without the smile, then you're rolling!

Try to remember a situation in which you naturally smiled and separate the eyes and the mouth. And then try it at home in the mirror. Even if you just learn the eye thing, it still counts as a smile to people!

Was it tough getting Stone Cold Steve Austin to stand still while you drew this? ;-)

Excellent comic! First panel looks too much like my smiles! Hahaha =)

This was brilliantly funny. Thanks you.

maybe now I can get a picture up...if I can ever get still enough....I haven't cried so hard in ages...hilarious.......
