I eagerly await Republicans to counter Obama's green energy plan with their burning mullets plan...

"Beside every innovator there's an injured assistant" rofl, how true on many levels!!

Or I must say ROFG!

I love that you can tell it's the future by the speaker's style. The shoulder rolls - too funny!

Another hit. Makes my day every time.

It cools your head and neck while accelerating greenhouse warming, which makes it a wash.

Excellent comic, but I think there's a missing "and" in panel 3 (between "people" and "give").

Do you really burn things when your mad? Reminds me of that character in Mad Movie " Up The Academy" or little Ralphie from the Simpsons. Great comic. I wonder if burning mullet hair helped stop global warming in the future?

James, the fuel source is "clean", so presumably, yes.

You have the most delightfully strange way of thinking. No one else could combine "Finding Your Place In History" with "Bagel Toasting Mishaps." Bravo you brilliantly deranged man.

HI, loved the strip. I know this is a big ask, but I clicked through a banner on your site a couple of weeks ago, it went through to a comic strip site starting with and X and was mostly stick men. I daresay it was the second funniest strip I have ever seen (!) I dont suppose you know the strip ? Cheers

Is there a typo in the third panel? It seems like there should be a period at the end of the second line.

That being said, the only thing that could have made this strip better would be the inclusion of the bosses flaming mullet in the last panel.

I love Scott's expression in the last panel; I can just imagine the though processes going on in his head

I love this one not only for the entire society reeking of burning hair, but also for the speaker in the last panel having Lobot-style wraparound headgear. BTW, are your visions of the future always shaped by 1980s sci-fi/space opera movies?

I agree but I believe you meant to say "Damn those brilliant bastards".
Hi-lareous

The man from the future looks like he's wearing arm floats for swimming. With a suit. Maybe the suit is made from the same materials as a swim suit? I'll stop 'thinking' now.

April 6, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterNegami

Scott, I love your Instructions. Excellent, job well-done. As you say ... Damn those brilliant bastards

April 6, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterGeorge

@Dave
I agree. Third panel was a little screwy, but eventually moved on the the fourth. Perhaps "Surrounding" and "gives" would fix it?

April 7, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterLetsfoolgravity

But hey, there's something fishy about the Instruction in the third panel...

April 7, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterNice One Scott

Another t-shirt! DAMN THOSE BRILLIANT BASTARDS!

Simon, I think you mean XKCD :)

You must mean xkcd

I actually tried making toast with a lighter once when my power was out. It tasted like butane and was one of the most foul tastes I've ever expereinced.

April 7, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterJack Satan

It's called xkcd, and can be found at xkcd.com. I agree that it's the funniest webcomic I've ever seen apart from basic instructions.

April 7, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterJorgo

I enjoyed it. I don't see how the third panel is "screwy" it made perfect sense to me.
