How to Get Up the Nerve

This comic is out of order. It was written months before it ran on my website. I cannot remember why it ran out of order, but the answer can only be that I made some mistake. I would have put it back where it belongs for the reruns, but I forgot all about it until now.

Whatever mistake I made originally that led to the comics being out of order, it has been perpetuated by my own forgetfulness.

I can tell you that this comic was written while I was still in Seattle, working in an office downtown. Thus the rain and the bus (Ugh, the King County Metro Bus to work. I don’t miss that one bit). By the time it ran I was in Orlando, working at Walt Disney World. (Walking in from the massive parking lot and across the park in a full polyester bellhop costume with 100% humidity was a totally different kind of unpleasant, but at least I was surrounded by happy people. That was not the case on the King County Metro Bus.)

How to Destroy Society

Wow. Just … wow. This comic was written eight years ago, but panel two still works without even changing the candidate’s name. It probably works better now, because most people would rather listen to Merle Haggard with Trump than with Mitt Romney. Romney seems like he’d rather listen to classical. Trump wouldn’t care what was on the jukebox as long as it was ladies’ night.

How to Entertain Out-of-Town Guests

I have a picture somewhere of me standing next to a Gorn. Not a real Gorn. There are no real Gorn. It was a fake Gorn. I do not have a picture of me standing next to Jonathan Frakes, not even a fake Jonathan Frakes.

I once nearly accosted two strangers at the Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame because one of them misidentified a life-sized model of Gort as Twiki. I’m still amazed at the restraint I showed.

The photos for the drawings of my mother were taken the first time she came to visit is in Florida. The scooter was a rental. I used to poo-poo scooters, but watching mom use that one changed my mind. If you’re going to any large theme park and any member of your party has the slightest issue that makes walking several miles difficult, I strongly suggest renting one. Not only does it make the scooter rider’s trip more enjoyable for them, because they can keep up, it makes everyone else’s trip more enjoyable, because the scooter rider can keep up.

Also, the scooter doesn’t care how many purses, coats, and souvenirs it carries. You essentially take the least mobile member of your party and turn them into a pack mule.

How to Show Off a Scar

I have a scar on the back of my head. It is the result of a minibike accident when I was a child. When I had hair, the scar was hidden. When I shave my head it isn’t particularly noticeable. If my head has anything more than half a day’s growth of stubble, the scar stands out because hair won’t grow on the scar tissue.

I, a bald man, have a scar on my head that only shows when my hair grows out a bit.

Life is confusing.

Note from Missy: Is it just me, or is the woman in this comic Kaci Aitchison, news personality for Seattle’s KCPQ 13?

Note from Scott: Yes it is, but I’ve never been happy with the drawings I did of her.

How to Share a Profound Insight

Of course, the cat sitting on the laundry and purring doesn’t mean that the cat loves my pants. It could mean that the cat will sit on any lumpy, soft, warm mass. That doesn’t make me feel any better, but it is true.
