Third panel is my favourite. You always know there's going to be shenanigans when someone says "Yet!" :D

JENKINS!!! You Maverick!

January 4, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterMoon

Excellent, Sir!

Great strip Scott. Keep us laughing

January 5, 2011 | Unregistered Commentersupercool

Great one. :)

Hmmmm...don't know about "Sir". I see you more of a "Scottsman" or maybe "The Scottster".

Re-run! Re-run! Re-run!

Rule four: If your boss is wearing earphones, disregard rule three.

Sheer brilliance! Every pane a gem. Thanks.

Oh this one burns with sarcasm and disdain. I think I might actually feel a little sorry for beard dude. Probably because he's trying to pick his own nickname. And he picked "The Maverick."

Just a quick thanks... your comics rock. I'm going on year three of reading. Thanks.

Although it was still funny and well done, I have to say panel for was just a bit of a letdown because I thought you'd come up with something a bit more original and geeky than 'sir'. I was anticipating something more like 'Master-Blaster' or 'my merciful Sith overlord'...

Victoria, they're both beard dudes. But I know you mean the one who looks more like George Lucas rather than Edward Norton in American History X.

The best nicknames are given not chosen. Same also applies to the worst nicknames.

One of my favorite strips and I've been reading for years. Every panel is just pure genius.

I can't believe you keep coming up with ideas Scott! I bow to your superior creativity and wit! Thanks for making it a joy to start my computer each day! (or at leat, 3 days a week, but I'm so disorganized I can never remember which days it is, so it's pretty much 5 days a week.....)

I read this comic a few days ago in the San Diego Weekly Reader..Only it was all pix-elated and barely readable. Any idea why?

January 5, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterNick

Wow, can you feel the tension building? Any day now, the copyright will change to 2011. I just can't wait!

John McCain has gained a lot of weight. And facial hair. And hair.

January 5, 2011 | Unregistered Commenterjeric

Good stuff.

January 5, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterPatrick

NOT A RERUN IF IT WAS ON CRACKED PREVIOUSLY

January 5, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterCOVIZAPIBETEFOKY

Nicknames are like respect. You have to earn one, not pick one. It's also why I have no nickname.
