How to Talk to a Farmer

There I go, flogging my anti-milk viewpoint again.

That chicken might be the best drawing that ever appeared in this comic. It’s kind of amazing that I didn’t work harder to find excuses to use it again. Perhaps a superhero who fights crime by hitting criminals with a live chicken, or with the help of a super-intelligent chicken who speaks English . . . OR BOTH!

How to Customize Your Cell Phone

This comic was written back in the day when not all phones had mapping programs. I honestly use my phone as a GPS-enabled map more often than I use it as a phone, but that’s just me. Not everyone has the powerful one-two punch of a poor sense of direction and antisocial tendencies that I have.

I usually don’t put protective cases on my phones. I often choose a phone partly because it looks cool and feels good in my hand. Putting the phone in a case will help keep it looking cool and feeling good longer, but only by hiding it and making it feel terrible in my hand, which is just a little too O. Henry for me.

Note from Missy: Every time I see Scott use “glump” as a sound effect for a cat throwing up, it makes me laugh. What a terrible word, and yet so, so accurate.

How to live with an Embarrassing Middle Name

Yes. My middle name is Oscar.

I have a cousin who was born a few months before me, who is also named Scott Meyer. My understanding is that my parents liked the name and decided to use it as well. They differentiated my name from his by giving me the middle name Oscar. It didn’t make me any happier about the situation.

The sad thing is, I think Oscar is a really cool name. I might even prefer it to Scott, if it weren’t for my last name.

After putting this comic out there, I was made aware of this comic, which is very funny and much more concise than my take on the same idea.

How to Project

It is difficult to talk in a loud voice to a large group of people without sounding angry, even when you have a microphone and a PA system. Just looking at either presidential candidate will show you that.

I can tell you from personal experience (gained by working at a certain theme park) that it’s even harder to project loud enough to be heard by hundreds of people, unamplified, then, as soon as you’re done with your announcement have some guy (it was always a guy in his late thirties to early forties) who is standing right in front of you (it was ALWAYS the guy literally RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME) immediately ask, “what was that again?” without getting genuinely angry at them.

Note from Missy: Seriously – middle-aged dads, especially in a theme park environment, are the worst. They love to bluster, argue, and show their families that they know way more than this common wage slave. Don’t be that guy, guys.

How to Invent a Superhero

This is sort of a primordial origin of the Knifeketeer. It doesn’t really involve the character at all, but you can see the germ of the idea forming.

It’s not really that unusual of an idea, a superhero who murders villains with knives. Wolverine is a superhero. He murders villains with knives that are built into his arms. He can also heal really fast, and has an unbreakable skeleton, but without the knives, he wouldn’t be much use. He’d mostly serve as a distraction, allowing the enemy to beat him mercilessly while the rest of the team does more important work.

I think he’d be called “The Pummelee.”
