How to Figure Out Who You Really Are (Rerun)
Thanks again for all the donations and subscriptions. Looking at the calendar, it seems there will only be one more comic after this one that has the linkl to the free gift zip file. Here it is, in case you didn't get it yet. Note: I didn't say I was removing the file from my server, just that I wouldn't be putting up fresh links to it after Sunday/Monday.
And as always, thanks for using my Amazon Affiliate links (US, UK, Canada).

Is it just me or does defecianado not sound quite like a connoisseur of defacating?
Sorry for creating that image if no one else thought of it : (
Alternative terms: Failure-fiend, catastrophologist, loss gourmand, botch-head.
@ Ben
I, too, immediately had the same thought about 'defecianado'.
Perhaps it is the way we were brought up?
"Is it just me or does defecianado not sound quite like a connoisseur of defacating?"
Nope, not just you. It's the first thing that popped into my head.
RE: "That's a good point", note the subtle note of victory. Rick doesn't so much win as occasionally moderate his precipitous plunge into the abyss.
BTW "catastrophologist" - I will be stealing that for my own aggrandisement.
@Ben: That was exactly the first thing that popped into my mind!
A losie, perhaps?
defecianado looks too much like defecateonado, you get my drift...
Ever since I got this via my email subscription I have been wanting to congratulate you on "defecianado." Don't listen to those critical comments miscontruing your brilliance! (I think the word for them might be simply "fecianado.") I love being present for the creating of fun new words.
Also, "catastrophologist" is a good one, nonsensicles!
I read the first line in panel 3 and thought it said "wife" instead of "life." That added a whole different layer of meaning.
@Ben, bionelly, Golden:
Unfortunately, this talk of defecating has taken your use of the word "popped" and replaced it with "pooped" every time I read it now. Thank you.
Hmm. Defecianado still sound feces related to me since this strip's original run.
Popped into your mind or Pooped?
I think it depends on whether the 'c' in 'defecianado' is hard or soft.
The Quicker Giver-Upper.
@Ben Yes, it's the first thing that pooped into my head too...
Maybe an alternate spelling? "Deficianado" maybe? Hm, no, that sounds like a fan of deficits. Defeatophile? Ugh. I better leave the jokes ot the professional.
I still get a laugh out of "BETTER defeat."
He has self-defecating humor.
Rick and I are kindred spirits here.
Now, this is one of your finest works imo, panel 1 and 3 get me everytime.
I'm smiling. really, really, hard.
