<p>&nbsp;One can be obtained from&nbsp;<a href="http://whattheduck.net/content/if-it-shoots-duck">Aaron&rsquo;s website</a>. The other, well, you&rsquo;ve gotta step only on certain tiles, then weigh out the right amount of sand, and even then &hellip; it&rsquo;s all a big mess.

<p>I'm posting this comic to the site early to make up for the comic lost to the protest yesterday, and because I'm feeling some guilt in general. Time has been scarce lately. That's why there've been reruns the last couple of Fridays. I hope to rectify the situation soon.</p>
<p>Thanks for your patience.</p>]]></content></entry><entry><title>SOPA/PIPA Protest</title><category term="comic"/><id>http://basicinstructions.net/basic-instructions/2012/1/18/sopapipa-protest.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://basicinstructions.net/basic-instructions/2012/1/18/sopapipa-protest.html"/><author><name>Scott Meyer</name></author><published>2012-01-18T08:00:35Z</published><updated>2012-01-18T08:00:35Z</updated><content type="html" xml:lang="en-US"><![CDATA[<span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://basicinstructions.net/storage/2012-01-17-sopa.gif?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1326846369763" alt=""/></span></span>]]></content></entry><entry><title>How to Ape the Motions of a Sensitive Human Being</title><category term="comic"/><id>http://basicinstructions.net/basic-instructions/2012/1/15/how-to-ape-the-motions-of-a-sensitive-human-being.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://basicinstructions.net/basic-instructions/2012/1/15/how-to-ape-the-motions-of-a-sensitive-human-being.html"/><author><name>Scott Meyer</name></author><published>2012-01-16T02:00:20Z</published><updated>2012-01-16T02:00:20Z</updated><content type="html" xml:lang="en-US"><![CDATA[<span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://basicinstructions.net/storage/2012-01-15-sensitive.gif?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1326636538654" alt=""/></span></span>]]></content></entry><entry><title>How to Face Your Fear (rerun)</title><category term="comic"/><id>http://basicinstructions.net/basic-instructions/2012/1/13/how-to-face-your-fear-rerun.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://basicinstructions.net/basic-instructions/2012/1/13/how-to-face-your-fear-rerun.html"/><author><name>Scott Meyer</name></author><published>2012-01-13T14:54:27Z</published><updated>2012-01-13T14:54:27Z</updated><content type="html" xml:lang="en-US"><![CDATA[<p><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://basicinstructions.net/storage/2008-12-08-Face-Fear.gif?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1326466480684" alt="" /></span></span></p>
