Hmmm so now we got some blur on the art like in pannel 3!
And it´s as good as always... Very funny!
And I´m curious about your new book... Will it be avaiable on Amazon soon?
Cheers!

This reminded me so acutely of when I used to have a job. As if dreaming about it weren't enough.

Alas, we were never able to make the boss cry.

as a public school teacher, i get many opportunities every year to both lead group learning experiences as well as participate in them. you nailed it!

The blur in panel three gives it an amazingly 3D feel. This is fantastic! You should do it more with like background or something. That was just fantastic. Honestly, I read this comic, or any comic, because I enjoy being made to laugh and not so much for the artwork, but that panel three was just amazingly well drawn.

Oooh, bokeh. Fancee.

Will there be a personalization option for this book like there was for the first two?

Note from Scott: I'm going to switch from Hand signing the books to signing a "book plate" which you can then stick on the book, or anything else, for that matter.

I'll be selling a very limited number of signed copies of the third book from my site, in a set with signed copies of the first two books. More details when I've figured them out.

Where's the +1 button?!

This is one of your best ones yet! The second panel was my favourite.

Oh man, I want to insult Rick. That is an awesome prize.

That's a nice blur effect. And that last line was awesome.

Book ordered. I look like a fat Scott so if I win the competition, Scott can just use the Stretch function instead of having to create a new image. Could make life a bit easier for you Scott. Just saying.

Scott - any plans for Kindle versions of your books?

Note from Scott: That is something that's being discussed. I'm all for it! Also, we're contemplating doing a small, cheep kindle book of just the Super Hero comics.

Wait, color? If I discover that your shirt is not really black, I'm not sure I could handle it.

Brilliant, just friggin' brilliant! I, for the first time, have to empathize with Mullet Boss.
Been there, done that, nearly cried. Note to self: no drinking coffee when checking B.I.-thru the nose again!

I just wanted to point out in the kindest possible way with the best intentions, that most contests in the US tend to have an option for entering that doesn't involve a purchase. I'm pretty sure this is for legal reasons and not just a courtesy. I know you weren't intending to start a gambling operation where buying things increased your chance of winning, but the government might not see it that way.

I'm going to hold off ordering until the book plates are worked out. I'd hate to get just a plain book when the first two are signed already.

It seems to me that Mullet Boss is a victim of his own sorry management skills. I mean, seriously, he hired all you losers, so that is a reflection on him being a bigger loser. Just saying. Also, it is a reflection of his previously illustrated lack of success with women.

As usual, a supremely awesome comic. I would be laughing more if it did not resemble the upper management of the company that I work for.

I'm almost sad Rick can't enter. I love the idea of him insulting himself. Good opportunity for time travel there.

You should double the price for Basic Instructions 3D. Or maybe you did already.

If you win the contest will you be allowed to send in a picture of yourself dressed up as Rick so that it looks like he is insulting himself?

@Anonymously Helpful (I Hope)

I believe that rule only applies if there is a cash value to the prize. I'm pretty sure that we can all agree that there is no "value" to being in a comic making fun of Rick. It's just fun.

Note to Rick fans: you probably shouldn't enter this contest. Unless being a fan entails insulting him, of course...

This strip reminds me of the film, Office Space: hilarious because it's so close to reality, and depressing because it's so close to reality.

When I first read the comment after the strip I read "original content that defiles description." I wonder if that's a premonition...

Scott: Can I order one of the rarer unsigned ones.

I hope I am the first to order from the UK to help spread the gospel according to Scott over here. Have to say the postage was amazingly reasonable.

Group exercises are the same as solo exercises, except that instead of 5 people doing 5 exercises, one person does one exercise and 4 additional people try to get credit for it.

I was hoping for a new one today: How to deal this the death of a Cultural Icon.

i agree with the above poster that rick should be eligible to enter the contest as well. ya know, just in case he actually wins, he still winds up losing. lol.

Loving the depth of field effect in panel 3.

The first panel, without the narration, is perfect as it is. The whole comic is great, but that part just takes the cake!

@CR: A part of being a fan of Rick is enjoying insulting Rick. That's more than half (some would say, almost all) the fun of it!

Book ordered.
Silent happy reader for over a year, about time I reward you :D

I think it's that they're trying NOT to do the job, and doing that badly.
