How to Cope with Jealousy

Comments

[Rob]

Thank you Scott - a perfect comic.

[mph]

Love it. I've written up a brief recollection about Brian May and astronomy.

I believe the word is "Envy"
"Jealousy is an emotion and typically refers to the negative thoughts and feelings of insecurity, fear, and anxiety over an anticipated loss of something that the person values, such as a relationship, friendship, or love. Jealousy often consists of a combination of emotions such as anger, sadness, and disgust. It is not to be confused with envy." - Wikipedia
"Envy (also called invidiousness) is best defined as an emotion that "occurs when a person lacks another's (perceived) superior quality, achievement, or possession and either desires it or wishes that the other lacked it." " - Wikipedia
Just doing my job to educate the world on the two words' original proper meanings.

Peter Weller also plays guitar and trumpet for real.

Man. Now I gotta watch that again.

You have 20 seconds to comply... [bullets spray within seconds] ...I lied. That Robocop, what a scamp.

I just thought I should mention that your website's lack of obvious newer/older comics link is quite hostile to my casual browsing habits. I know that as an artist you are likely not a programmer but do realiize that this massive usability failure has cost you at least one casual reader and likely many many more.

Thanks to things like the webcomics plugin for wordpress and peer pressure issues like this should have died out, seriously this is something you need to address.

I now have new ways of making my friend feel worse about his shortcomings. Thanks, Scott!

According to Wikipedia, May received his Ph.D. from Imperial College London in 2007 at the age of 60. He was working on his thesis in the early 70's but stopped when Queen starting to become successful. As a member of Queen, he contributed the songs "We Will Rock You", and "Fat Bottomed Girls". He is currently the Chancellor of Liverpool John Moores University.

A top 5 B.I. of all time, I was chuckling loudly at every panel.

[Cally]

Rick (Ric) is good at poetry, obviously. :D

[Reader]

Just in time to coincide with me watching Buckaroo Banzai on Netflix.

[Mikey]

Queen, Buckaroo Banzai, and Ren Art in a single comic? How DO you do it? Awesome.

On a side note, I knew a guy in college who dressed like Dark Man for about a year - trenchcoat, fedora, the works.

[Chris]

I had heard that they were in the Guinness Book of World Records as the smartest rock band???

[Romenique Zedeck]

Alwayas a good strip!

[AC]

hehe, another good one. Sometimes it is not jealousy but feelings of inadequacy. Which results in the same downward spiral.

[HurrXDurr]

"random reader who happens to be a web dev" needs to learn to use a simple website. He should also pull that stick out of his ass.

Scott, ignore the naysayers, especially Rick and snot-nosed alleged web devs.

[Contrajoe]

It's funny as always. Panels 2 & 4 are especially funny.

Also, I would LOVE to see another strip that makes the readers/fan base the punch line of the joke.

[Tim Keating]

Actually, I'm pretty sure he's NOT distracted by beautiful women throwing themselves at him. The name of the band is QUEEN, after all.

[David B Traver Adolphus]

I think it's obvious the Hong Kong Cavaliers were the world's smartest rock band.

Speaking of Buckaroo Banzai, has anyone ever explained why the closing credits for Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou are taken directly from the closing credits of BB?

[Steve Skubinna]

Peter Weller is an adjunct faculty member of Syracuse University and is finishing a PhD from UCLA. Just to add to the angst.

[Seth]

I think I may have been your exact target demographic for panel 3. I was pounding my desk with delight, and nearly spat out my sandwich.

[Tom]

As if I didn't love this comic enough, now you have cited to my all-time favorite movie. In high school, I tried hard to find red glasses to match Buckaroo's. I guess I was, in the end, lucky to have failed.

Thanks, Scott!

[james yeamans]

so what is the one thing that Rick is barley good at?

[Daf]

great, now all i need is a strip explaining how to cope with the misuse of words ;)

Is this guy serious? Does he mean Previous/Next buttons? Those are there, and they are pretty easy to spot if you take two seconds.....

Maybe there should be a "How to Spot the Obvious" comic.
