Alls you gotta do is walk in the store all arrogant, grab the "supplies," & walk up to the register to purchase them. Look the clerk in the eyes & say, "My woman is in danger. I need supplies for my rescue mission."
I was at the store the other day, staring at a huge display of feminine products, trying to figure out where the store was hiding my brand, which my husband can always find for me. I realized at that moment that it's been years since I shopped for my own supplies. I guess I'm spoiled.
"That's your answer for everything" is probably the funniest thing I've read all week. Has Scott said it before? I'm sure he has, but can't remember which comic. Congrats!
As a "lady", I have to tell my fellow ladies, You know it's coming. You know what you'll need. Get some in advance. (girls who have just started can be excused, as the time can be irregular for a while) I've had fourty years of "ladytimes", and I've never once had to humiliate a man by sending him out for supplies.
He's right. I never expected to see it (especially in a comic- but then again, Scott IS a genius) but tampons DO make good "puncture" wound dressings, as do pads make good compresses.
Right up until the last panel, you can get away with preceding each speech bubble with, "As always." "As always, I'll start assembling a disguise," is a sentence I need to utter more often.

Try reading just the last line of each panel. On there own, in or out of context, they are gems.
1 comic
4 great punchlines
Awesome.
I totally agree with Patrick!
"1 comic

Awesome."
And that's why Scott's starting a spin-off, "Basic Instructions: The Prison Years"

Somehow, I remember reading this one a few weeks ago, Dajavu much
It's official, this one is my absolute favorite.
Pure. Gold.
I like how The Monarch phrased it in one episode. "Are you riding your menstrual cycle?"
I thought "Ladytimes" was going to be a soap opera marathon or a shopping extravaganza
What's to be ashamed of? A man buying blood sponges indicates there is a woman in his life. He should be proud!
Well, guess who won the Unabomber hoodie and sunglasses auction.
This is comic gold. I laughed especially hard at panel two.
So funny, Scott, one of your best ever, each line a winner. "supplies" - perfect!
I just say I'm making a salad.
Announcing "The Ladytimes are upon me" seems incredibly badass.
For the disguise, I was hoping for a re-appearance of Snake Ape, but I guess that would have brought security even quicker.
OMG, you struck gold!
I not sure who to feel sorry for, you or Missy. Good thing you found each other! ;)
This has to be one of my favourites so far. Handled so well yet still hilarious!
Panel four!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FTW!
I just love the drug store clerk's oh so casual approach to discussing gunshot wounds with a very shady looking Scott in panel 4.
LOL @ Panel 2 - So that's what why wife was doing!
Sort of takes empathic pain one step further.
lol~ this is pure awesomeness!
At least you look ready to type a single-spaced manifesto about the ordeal in a Montana cabin.
The title alone was awesome! What is the brand name of the 'pons? I cant quite read it.
Awesome. Been there, done that repeatedly but without the security part. ROTFLMAO!
I thought my husband and I were the only ones to call it "ladytimes."
I'm laughing so hard that I'm crying! Poor pitiful men.
Been there, done that. Not that I'm proud of it. In my case, the checkout guy just snickered at me.
"Nothing is manlier than being a good husband." Awww, that's as sweet as "The ladytimes are upon me" is funny, which is very sweet, indeed.
Two HTML problems here:
* no "previous strip" link to browse the comic, in firefox or IE.
* no "Submit comment" button in firefox 4.
"That's your answer for everything" is probably the funniest thing I've read all week. Has Scott said it before? I'm sure he has, but can't remember which comic.
Congrats!
I had a crappy weekend, but now my week is off to an awesome start. Thanks! Great comic.
Panel 4 is amazingly topical, given that the FBI is currently auctioning off all of the contents of Ted Kaczynski's old shack.
As a "lady", I have to tell my fellow ladies,
You know it's coming.
You know what you'll need.
Get some in advance.

Oh, the things you learn in <redacted>.
I thought "Ladytimes" were whenever a Meg Ryan movie was on TV.
"That's your answer for everything." Absolutely champagne.
Oh Waily Waily, the Ladytimes are upon us!
