One of my biggest pet peeves! I had a friend who - on three different occasions - mentioned and "explained" the stage name of a singer "Diana Cancer...Get it? Dian a' Cancer!" The first time he asked if I got it was insulting enough... (another big one is arguing with yourself about petty details..." I almost missed the turn because an elm had grown up over the street sign...no, I think it was a maple...no...myabe it was an elm..." If I had any interest in what you had to say, that would have killed it)
Wait just a second. You're writing a joke about ruining jokes. So if you're writing what you know shouldn't you also have also ruined this joke by explaining it in the comments.
Fuckin' magic Scott. Sheer' magic, all day, erryday. Or errythreeday. And god, people, if he wanted to do a strip on how to beat a dead horse, all he'd have to do is make a blank strip with "Refer to 'How to Retroactively Ruin a Joke'.", and the strip'd be done.
is this your comic supposed to be funny or educational? Somtimes it is niether. But, I have learned many new grammar lessons, from the reader comments, like speling wurds corectly, or, where to place, the commah.
I wonder if anyone would agree that this Star Wars figure: http://www.rebelscum.com/photo.asp?image=/TVC/Basic/VC26Commando/TVC-783.jpg might be considered a Scott Meyer action figure. Sort of. Maybe?
This reminds me: Just a couple weeks ago I noticed that my heart rate monitor was calculating 100 calories for every kilometer I ran. I made a joke on my Facebook page about doing "Metric exercise". Comments came back like, "How fast/far are you running?" and "Why are you running kilometers and not miles?" No one got the whole idea of metrics being divisible by 10. I thought it was funny, but had to explain it to everyone.

...great...now you've ruined the online comments too.
*laughs*
Good one ! Taking us into the joke adds so much power. I laugh nearly every time, but not always this loud.
you know another good way to kill a joke? by being the 2345890234578th person to post "LOL you're finally writing what you know hehe :)"

While everyone else was making dumb jokes, I was thinking, "Hey, new character!"
Not your best work, Scott. You should write more to what you know.

Nice one (as usual)!

Ummmm....you must have a lot going on this week...
Note from Scott: You have no idea.

I'd call those comments sadonecrobeastial, but that would be beating a dead horse.
