I know it’s supposed to be better for a number of reasons, but I still can’t get used to the idea of coughing into my elbow. Aside from it looking weird, I would point out that we are raised from an early age to wash our hands often. When was the last time you heard any mother tell her children to wash the inside of their elbow?

Everyone has a list of things that they’d like to do before they die, but they know that they’ll probably never get the chance. One of the things on my list is to use a model and a pointer to explain an elaborate plan.
I do own a collapsible chrome pointer. It’s one of my favorite possessions. Sometimes it’s handy to be able to point at stuff, and few things focus people’s attention quite like pulling one of those babies out of your pocket and stretching it to its full length.
The only downside to a collapsible chrome pointer is it’s very difficult to discuss using one without it sounding suggestive.
Note from Missy: Scott, you can’t give us the Christmas village porcelain bank without also letting us know what kind of toy/model the getaway car is.
Reply from Scott: It is clearly a model of a Lamborghini Countach. Specifically, it’s the kind of die-cast model that adult men buy when they either know they’ll never be able to afford their dream car, or when they’ve already bought their dream car, but they can’t keep the real car in their office, so they keep the model on their desk and pray every day that someone will ask about it.

Ric and I really did have a conversation about how mean I was to him in the comic, but he was in favor of it, while I felt bad. I really did offer him one panel in which I’d write or draw whatever he wanted within the bounds of good taste, and he really wanted the panel to feature him delivering that speech while wearing “magnificent robes.”
The drawing of him in the robe made me so happy that I later invented Rocket Hat and the Emperor of the Moon just to have an excuse to use it again.
Note from Missy: I like the use of a “next week” callout as a final punchline! Though I don’t think it got used many other times, if any.

After executing a perfect Double-Calrissian in the previous comic, I go and misquote The Princess Bride in this one. In panel two, I should be saying “What in the world can that be?”
Fun fact: I was feeling sleepy when I sat down to write this commentary. Rereading this comic has not helped matters at all.
Note from Missy: I kept it together until panel 4. That one triggered a yawn. CURSE YOU, SCOTT!

Looking at the first panel again, years after I wrote it, I could have it worded better. People like compliments. Women do as well, in that they are people, but they are not the only people who like compliments, which is what the first panel narration implies.
On the other hand, this comic delivers two panels’ worth of Lando Calrissian humor! I believe that’s what we in the business call a “Double-Calrissian.”
