I laughed all the way through, it was an awesome comic
I think you meant "Curl your idea with others." Discus is a Summer sport.
Panel 4: discus should be discuss.
Ric's pose in panel 2 would have been great in the previous strip about him smiling for the camera!
Three comments:
1. I love the analogy in panel one.
2. I so want the combination of french fries and ice cream to work.
3. ROFL
That's all.
Discus?
Absolutely brilliant.
I've read most of your comics and never commented until now, and I must say this is my new favorite one.
Awesome work!
'Discus' your idea? As in throw it as hard and far as you can?
Panel 4:
How does one 'discus' an idea? Do they just throw it out there? :P
Ha ha ha! The bald one gets his comeuppance!
Check the first word of the top caption in the last panel.
I've been a fan for a while now, but you are in especially great form lately, Scott!
I love this comic. Good work Scott :)
Discus your idea with others = throw it around Olympian-style.
hi missy and scott,
just wanted to point you to a typo in the 4th panel. should read "discuss".
and also I wanted to say thank you. I love the comic.
cheers,
alex
Sorry, sorry, sorry - I hate to be picky when I love this stuff so much - but "discus" your idea? Actually you might have meant that, I've certainly had some ideas in the past that could have done with being thrown away.
Discus your idea with others.
When you're done, try javelining it with them. Is "javelining" a word?
Just to let you know; the last panel has "discuss" spelled incorrectly as "Discus"
other than that continue the great work and humor =D
The conversation in the last panel was deep! Had to think it through, guess Rick is smarter than we give him credit for
Just to let you know, I have BI on that feed thingy so I know right away when you've posted your new comic. I read the caption out loud to my teen and young adult sons, and there is usually at least one, "Oh no!!! What's he gonna do this time?"
This one is fantastic! Can't wait till my guys have read it too, especially since one of our all-time faves is the "You peed your pants" one. (How to Deal with Embarassment, I think)
Well, it's a bit like another brilliant idea that I had. I call it tirabbouleh. It's a mix between tiramisu and tabbouleh. What's it like ? Well... it can't be described. But it's a brilliant idea, I'm sure.
It's kind of sad how you can put out a great strip like today's and all people can do is point out that you missed one letter in one word. Reminds me of one posting I did to a newsgroup a while back where a typo had me screw up canon vs cannon. If they'd known how to reach me in real life, I truly believe several of the people would have used the latter on me. So be cautious, some of these nuts find typos to be a capital offense (and I don't mean holding down the shift key).
Great comic. I'm not sure if anybody as mentioned it, but you originally spelled "discuss" wrong in the fourth panel. Although it looks like it's been corrected now, it was originally "discus". I'm surprised that nobody commented on that, cause it would have been a great opportunity for Olympic sport-related jokes at your expense.
On a side note, the closest I've ever come to making french friescream work is dipping my Wendy's fries in a Frosty, which may sound gross but is actually delicious.
Holy crap... Do 15 people really need to point out the same typo and make the same comment about it? On a tangent, I totally love this specific comic. It reminds me of a cousin of mine who thinks of himself as an "idea man." He doesn't want to put any of his money into his ideas and he doesn't want to do any of the work. He somehow imagines that talented and wealthy people will flock towards his innovations and that this will result in great fame and fortune some day. I've explain the first panel's caption to him a million freaking times.
Yesss, feed on the typooooo!
Scott can be proud that his typos mean this much to audience.
Oh man, fantastic comic.
