Basic Instructions by Scott Meyer for November 06, 2017

I was definitely falling into this seven year old trap. Well played, Scott!

Eye thot thet they’re was sumthin phamilyer about this one.

“complane”? is this the new spelling of complain?

AAK! Made me twitch! I’m glad I figured out you were doing it on purpose. Unless I hear differently, I’ll post this on November 10 (with a few comments and full credit, of course) on my grammar blog, writing-rag.com. As always, I enjoy the strip.

I think I’m going to loose it… ☺

Just titan up.

Twoday I find this commic verrie annoyinge!

My eye was starting to twitch as I was reading. Thank goodness for panel 4, lol.

I don’t know about blue ink, but this comic definitely has me yearning for some RED ink! (If I circle them all, they can’t hurt me, right?)

Use a fountain pen and experiment with different inks until you get just the wrong one. I have some light, bright blues that would probably irritate the Mullet boss just the right amount. Of course, if you have multi-page carbonless forms you need a nib that will let you press down.

I wonder what jobs actually prefer blue ink. One very minor irritation about the Navy was that I preferred blue, but everything had to be done in black. And I’ve seen this perception in civilian life too, that black is more “professional”.

I like blue so it doesn’t look like a photocopy.

Turquoise is blue. Find a turquoise pen.

Typo!!! Remynding was misspelled.
