Basic Instructions by Scott Meyer for March 04, 2024

It’s been done as a movie but I don’t recall the actors, let alone the title.

That “Murder, She Wrote” lady is suspicious, too. That little town she lives in must have the highest per-capita murder rate on Earth.

So Poirot’s little gray cells were filled with thoughts of murder?

Well, there was Curtain.

This reminds me of a thought I had about “Columbo”. It kind of appeared that he unconsciously had negative feelings for his wife because he was constantly putting people that his wife loved in jail! ☺

looks like “Hurcule Poirot” is an anagram for “O J Simpson”.

There may well be a similar idea about superheroes. Wherever they show up, disaster strikes.

My first wife would read my new play and just hand it back with spelling errors circled. :(

I’m afraid this is an old joke – the idea that Jessica Fletcher of Murder She Wrote is a serial killer has been floating around for probably ten years or more. But my wife and I write murder mysteries, so maybe that’s just among us…

Where is the new Monday strip, Scott?!
