How to Get the Most from Your Shoes

Sadly, this is based on a true story. A story involving shoes, shoe Goo and a sharpie. I am all about class.
(Added 8-19) I AM WEARING PANTS IN PANEL 4!! It's not a great drawing, but that's what pants do when you affect that pose. Either I'm weating pants and they're wrinkling a bit, or my left inner thigh has shark gills. Take a picture of yourself in that pose and see if your pants hang well.

Last panel had me laughing out loud for a while.
Sad Scott in panel 1 is hi-larious. And sad. Hilariously sad.
With everything I've been reading about barefoot running lately, I had actually considered getting a pair of those Vibram Five Fingers monstrosities. Now I'm thinking a pair of socks and some Shoe Goo may be the way to go. Thanks!
It wasn't until panel four that I noticed the lack of pants...
Sadly, I was reminded of my own shoes. I wear boots until they're so worn that pebbles get caught in the soles and each step I take rattles.
Anyone else notice that it looks like you're not wearing any pants??
"Sadly, this is based on a true story. A story involving shoes, shoe Goo and a sharpie. I am all about class. "
You also appear not to be wearing pants in the end panel. Why do I imagine you wandering around, pantless, with shoes made out of 'Shoe Goo', painted with black Sharpie marker, stuck onto your feet because of a hole in the shoe - and the socks.
Scott's not wearing pants?? This is a "Ziggy" strip gone horribly wrong. Yes, I know "Ziggy" strip and horribly wrong is redundant.
I'm not liking that it looks like you're not wearing pants in the last panel.
Is it just me?
Are you not wearing any pants in that last frame? And yet she is still focussed on your shoes. Sad.
Where are your pants in the last panel?! Yikes.
You should just give up on shoes, they're overrated. I go barefoot everywhere!
Your advertising has gone dangerously contextual. SHOES!!
In panel zero, we learn that Scott has previously spilled ketchup on his pants.
I think the strips featuring your missus are my favourite.
Ha, I figured this must be based on a true story when I was reading it. Are you still going to wear that shoes?
"Do you stay married in this theory?" That's fantastic. Panel #2 ftw!
This seems to me a very versatile counterpoint to most any discussion I have with my wife, and I hope she doesn't read this one.
I'm going to use the line " do you stay married in this theory" on my wife.
In theory I could.
Do you stay married in that theory? ROFL
Do you often go to the store without Pants on?
I guess people would be less likely to notice the horrendous shoes...
Are you naked from the waist down in the last panel?? O_O
As I read this, I am wearing shoes that have been repaired both with Shoe Goo and black Sharpie! It is possible for this to be successful.
You can never administer too much shoe goo.
Reminds me of Duct Taylors back in college.
if this is truly based on a story involving shoes, shoe Goo and a sharpie, than you are truly the man with the most class, in my eyes.
