Can you put me in a comic? That would be awesome.

Hey, is there a new comic today? I was distracted by the "2010" in the corner.

I don't think I've laughed that hard in a very long time!! Panel three had me laughing so hard my family came to read, too. Hilarious!

Hey, is that the tape mummy in the fourth panel of the comic strip inside the comic strip?
Awesome!

Panel three recursion = Brilliance!

Caught the words "hideous perversion"....got me laughing out loud.

You made your own brother sign a release? That's even colder than the comic.

I love how you can just barely read some of the text of the comic in a comic. Makes me really want to see the whole thing.

Especially love the "hideous perversion" tucked into panel 3!

My tummy hurts now and my eyes are all watery - from the laughing that still won't stop! Can we see the first part of a release?

There's a panel in your panel. You should get that removed. It could be unhealthy

Oh, and panel 4 of the comic in panel 3 has the masking tape mummy. I think i want to seeTHAT comic.

Well, this is easily my favourite one in a long line of awesome entries. Good job, man.

I take it your brother isn't really that bad. Except for the pants issue, that is.

Note from Scott: You're right. I have no beef with my brother, but he asked to be in the comic, and this is what happens to people in my comics.

Does your brother's, corners of his mouth extend beyond his mustache or is it food? Discerning minds want to know.

I wouldn't think a brother would need to read the first paragraph to know one way or the other; so another slam on the brother or just a bonus?

Oh yes before I forget. I love the way people use their pointer; it really looks like their giving you the finger laterally.

P.S. Very funny, made me laugh and smile.

Panel three made me cry (tears of joy)

Another great third panel and the fourth panel ... più eccellente e divertente !!!

I can see where you get your taste in facial hair from, Scott :P

I think the 'tape mummy' is supposed to illustrate a patch of unpainted wall 'behind' the comic strip. Yes? If yes, it's a pretty weird visual metaphor for what's going on inside Scott's head.

Note from Scott: No, sorry, but it is just the Masking Tape Mummy. I didn't actually write the comic-within-a-comic, but if I had, the las panel would have been me calling my Brother a weirdo and Missy pointing out that I'm in no position to talk. The mummy was the image i had laying aroud that got that across easiest.

Yes, I over-think these things pretty severely.

Note to self: NEVER sign one of Scott's release forms.

Wait, isn't that a time paradox in panel 4?

And this is why you shouldn't appear in comics until you've seen their full content. A brief at look at the Rick comics would have warned for this kind of hideous perversion.

Awesome again! Please tell me we will eventually see the full "How to Help a Habitual Pants-Wetter" strip

Your brother looks a good bit bigger than you. Aren't you afraid he'll pound you? Just wondering.

Hey Scott, this gives me a great fund raising idea for you! Why don't you auction off the right to be in your comic to one of your readers? You could raise even more by having them pay extra to not be humiliated in the comic!

Being that this comic is basically instructions, I feel part of each one.

What was his actual reaction?

Note from Scott: We'll find out when he reads it, which, as he's on the West Coast, should be in about two hours.

Today's strip reminds me of Forbidden Planet where the monster is a projection of the id. You could have an offshoot series Forbidden Instruction. Here's what happens when you enter . . . Forbidden Instruction.

The pants-wetting must be a family thing:

Is this the first time we've seen your brother, I thought he was in another one a few years back. I looked around a bit but didn't see it, so I'm probably wrong. This one was good though!

Note from Scott: I have two brothers. The other has a Paul Teutel mustache, and shaves his head (in the comic).

This comic is excellent. Please do update with his reaction - as someone with a brother I'd like to publicly humiliate, I'd like to know what to expect.

(Also - a comic within a comic, and no one has made a "Yo dawg" joke yet? For shame.)

Hahaha! I can't help but wonder if this was designed to get people to leave you alone about being in your comic...

What kind of country do we live in that you can't publish a web comic until your BROTHER signs a release.

I'm going to figure out a way to use "hideous perversion" in a work email today, if it kills me!

i thought your brother was dead?

Scott, your comics are beyond humorous! I laugh out loud at almost every single one of your panels. The only other comic that even comes close to approaching your level of humor to me is F-Minus. Thank you for the great laughs!!!

Does your brother actually sport a "handlebar" syle mustache with his goatee, or is that just a bit of poetic license on your part to tweak the humor even more? Interestingly enough, *to me* your brother looks an awful lot like the stockier William Shatner with a goatee, albeit younger.

I think it's wonderful that you made your brother sign a release first.

And by "wonderful" I mean "very ,very wise".

In response to Abi, I was totally going to make that reference. Shame on me.

Well, the comic is still up, so I guess Scott's brother liked it. Either that or he'll get around to deleting it after he gets out of hospital ;) Great strip. Wonderful in fact. I'm not sure about very, very wise though!

I think your brother needs my new Sham Wow boxer shorts!

I love the comic but today's comments have really made it for me...makes me wonder if Rick signed a release one time and curses it every night. I was in Orlando last week, but didn't make it to Disney or I would have definitely tried to find you for an autograph - my hero...
