AAAAAAGGGHHH! They're coming out of the frame! Run!

I believe that Basic Instructions is my favorite webcomic!

I also believe that in panel 2 of this particular comic, you shouldn't capitalize "Rabbis" or "Priests," and that in panel 3, "no standard" would be best, though "not a standard" could work.

Note from Scott: You are right, and it has been fixed. Thanks!

Are those new drawings in the last panel? It's like there's a whole new side to the strip we've never seen before.

I was thinking Maroon, but I guess that's purpler (which, according to Google Chrome, is a word)...

March 10, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterGreg

ah, but you assume that the word choices are/were insignificant! upon what basis do you make that assumption? others see those word choices as deliberate, and considering the amount of deliberation used in the creation of the words, I wonder if the others are not more correct.

Coffee? Sienna? I think there might be an answer in a crayola 64 pack..... :P
"Absolute Brown" = Hilarious in and out of context :D

I think that you are right. Awesome Scott. Maybe "leather" works for orange right?

That last panel is a home run. I couldn't agree more about Fred Schneider.

I say chocolate.

Crayola says burnt umber.

March 11, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterSoul of Wit

Chocolate.

Sepia is dark brown.

Hazel?

Constitutional scholars debate comma placement, not word choice. What sort of fool would quibble over words?

March 11, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterHugin

Mahogany?

March 11, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterLaura Brown

maroon is actually a shade of red. Dark brown shades would be auburn, bistre or chocolate.

HTH

I used to play drums for the band "Absolute Brown"...
Also, is that the silhouette of a chicken in the woman's hair (4th panel)??

March 11, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterBrandon

chocolate

March 11, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterRodbotic

Just caught myself as I was about to google "dark brown". Russet?


Damn! I googled "Russet".

Russet is a dark brown color with a reddish-orange tinge

Ah! Pantone... I resent their authoritarian dictation of such a subjective thing as color definition. Also, I want to work there so bad!
The first colorimeter was invented to measure brownness. Of beer specifically. Fun!

March 11, 2011 | Unregistered Commenterorangina

Really, Scott, I didn't think you'd be jumping on the 3D bandwagon too!

March 11, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterOli

In panel 4, is that a rooster in the back of her head?

March 11, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterHumanwine

http://www.answers.com/topic/griffe is in the language, though not very current or a good way to think.

March 11, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterTim

Ebony. There, end of argument.
