I later made up a letterhead with the slogan “With knowledge comes fear” and a better fist-and-lightbulb logo. I can’t find the image files now because I came to my senses before ever using it.
Question from Missy: is this the least amount of art to ever appear in a BI strip?
Answer from Scott: Yes. I think it is.

I still contend that if I pay for the entire game, and the game has a story, there should be a way for me to see the whole story even if I’m not a skilled enough gamer to fight my way through.
For the record, the game in this strip was Viewtiful Joe. Yes, it really did have a level that ended up with Joe fighting a helicopter gunship armed only with his fists and feet. And yes, I did read an online walkthrough that directed me to “kick and punch the helicopter until it dies.”
Question from Missy: Did you ever end up finishing Viewtiful Joe? I don’t remember.
Answer from Scott: No. I did not.

This is the first, and only time that I went back and added to a comic after the fact. In retrospect, if the material I was going to add was just going to be jokes about peeing my pants, it’s probably a good thing that it didn’t happen again.
Note from Missy: I had to zoom in on this, and I’m still not entirely sure: is that a dead mouse left behind on Scott’s plate? Was it garnish?
Note from Scott: Of course it’s garnish. When dining at a fine restaurant, one never eats the dead mouse on the side of the plate. To do so would be terrible form.

This is the first of several comics on the subject of writer’s block. What can I say? You write what you know.
I eventually set myself two rules. One was that comics about having writer’s block were not acceptable. The other was that having writer’s block was not acceptable. I know that sounds like I’m attempting to will away human weakness, but what it really means is that coming up with something—anything—is better than giving myself permission to come up with nothing. I realized that just because I made a comic, that doesn’t mean I have to post it. I could (and did) look at the comic I thought was just barely viable when I made it with fresh eyes before it went live. Often, it was much better than I remembered it being. A few needed to be reworked at the last minute. They all resulted in something useable in the end, and some of them turned out to be reader favorites.

The U.N. General Assembly and the smoking ruins of Branson, Missouri! This has to be the most artistically ambitious strip I ever attempted. That takes a bit of the sting out of the fact that it fails almost totally. That third panel looks like something from the videogame Battlezone.
