Please put that firts panel on a T-shirt all on it's own. Short and very very punchy enough for people to get the joke whilst they walk past you doing something again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again. On second thoughts - it should be on the back so they can read it and walk past without distracting you. Nice twist of repartee on an old bit of boring business schpeel - loveit. Every now and again you nail it in a one-er. This is one of those. Keep them coming !
I just met this guy and he started talking casually about the rapture. . . and politics. Never smiled once. The creepy thing is he resembled this comic. Scott? Are you following me around as some sort of guardian angel?
Oh beautiful for spacious skies... and religious tolerance from bigots like amber. This strip is hilarious and most of them so far have had me in stitches. Keep up the good work Scott.
Also, I said in an email that the "GET AN AVATAR" link in the reply section should FIRST link to your custom avatar service, then gravatar for those who are not interested. Why miss that marketing opportunity?
Methinks Ken doth protest too much. Amber encounters some creepy, unsmiling guy who immediately starts haranguing his new acquaintances about politics and the rapture, and noticing that Mr. Creepy is some kind of extra creepy guy somehow makes her a bigot?
Ok, I take back what I said about Rick working out. It does look like he just gained some weight. Overall, this is one of your funniest in a while. I laughed so hard I actually cried. Especially the first panel.

I think this is one of your best in a while. The first panel dialogue is amazing.
I especially like the first panel. Is that Ric? He looks different from the one about how to change someone's appearance.
Yeah, did Ric gain 20 pounds in the last week?
This one's the best "Basic Instructions" in a long time. The first panel's my favourite. :)
My cousin collects knives... I learned how to disarm a man with a combat knife for that very reason.
so we're agreed that rick is now definitely 'ric' as per his namesake? he does look rather... cuddlier... than before. too many mint juleps?
What is Scott doing in the first panel? At first glance he appears to be sewing some Barbie-clothes.
Playing a video game without much success.
I usually find out if someone is dangerously crazy when I'm in the middle of sex - talk about awkward.
I'm pretty sure that's Scotts wife ;)
And I also thought he was trying to assemble some miniatures, but now I can see both are holding game controllers.
hmmmmmmm...i now cannot strangle off the mental image of you in the middle of sex with ric......with a knife. talk about awkward, eh?

With "jazz hands".
You mean, you learned how to disarm your cousin with a combat knife?
only needed the first panel for this one.
[...] In which it is noted we are all crazy. [...]
I really enjoyed this one; it's a cut above, no pun intended.

1st panel on a shirt, FTW.
I liked the old Rick better, he looked like a crazy knife collector.

I'm horrified that people aren't recognizing Scott's wife!
