Wait, it says 2006....oh. Sorry. I wanted to say thanks for a great year Scott. I only came recently to your strip, but every one has been gold. Long may there be more!

hahaha brilliant post scott, this reminds me of a joke i thought up where i drank a bottle of bleach and lost my voice and went back in time to warn myself but i realised couldnt speak

If I were to travel back in time to deliver a dire warning to myself, it would be March 23, 1979. I'd say, "Whatever you do, don't take the blonde. Take the redhead."

lulz

All it left is to buy a time machine with the gold I have collected. Any time machine sellers?

I remember reading the original of this one when it came out, and loving the TMBG Flood shirt. I take it that younger-you is you in 1990-91?

I think I had that same tmbg t-shirt in high school.

> Wait, it says 2006

It's about time travel.

This comic was obviously written in 2010, and then sent back to 2006, where it was copyrighted by Scott to prevent anyone else from publishing it.

I'd say "Hide the empty aspirin bottle!", but that would be creepy.

Dang! Reverse is broken on my time machine, and forward only works one day at a time. Happy New Year anyway.

traveling back in time to tell yourself something would be a pain. plus who's to say that your past self won't blatantly defy what you tell (yourself?). then everything gets all messed up.

"Have an accident and get my hair amputated" Ha ha ha!

Taking gold back in time == shipping coals to Newcastle. Better to take old paper money back, buy gold, then bring that back in the time machine. Or silver.
Incidentally, that is another proof time machines don't/won't exist, ever. Or we'd be up to our necks in scam artists attempting to take all our gold and silver by debasing the currency as much as possible. Thus it's ... um... oh rats.

Props on the They Might Be Giants shirt!

Its obvious now that the Scott of today went back to the start of December for his "Public Service Announcements" and pre-anticipated all the flack that this post should of brought excepting that of course Scott of early December having been warned by Scott of today (who was in fact prepared by Scott of December last year who traveled forwards in time ... as we all do) who went back 2006 to make this rerun to foil all us today. Oh, I'm on to you Scott ;)

By the way, who else has seen Primer?

2006! I must have travelled back in time! Oh gosh; I'd better tell myself how much high school's going to suck.

Maybe some additional advice would be "campaign now to stop the compulsory codpiece act of 2015."

Think it's not possible to do just what Scott does in this strip?

LOL - I always wondered if I'd want to punch my former (younger) self!

The only message i would deliver is " hey , its ok !! you dont go blind"

Hair amputated!!! LMAO!!!

New Rick should warn Old Rick.
