Basic Instructions by Scott Meyer for June 11, 2009

The first panel is a winner by itself.

Has Rick gained weight?

taber - That was the first thought that came into my mind as well.

Y’all. I’m a relatively new reader of this comic. Is there a “cast of characsters” available? or would someone mind filling me in?

bald guy is like the protagonist, the short-haired gals is his GF, and mostlyy every body else is from work, or will be presented. oh- his boss has a ridicully mullet.

Thank you, FerAd. This comic is getting to be a favorite of mine.

Oh – that IS Rick – I wasn’t sure at first.

cobycombs, the short-haired woman is Scott’s wife. A few months ago, he changed her look just for one strip, because some reader thought her normal look was “too much like a Lesbian.”

So Scott decided to make her look a little more feminine for just one week – he used a pic of that lovely, feminine actress: Portia DiRossi!

Oh, scroll back to Monday’s strip to see the Mullet-Headed Boss.

This strip is so funny, too bad it’s not updated daily!

What is Scott trying to do in the first panel (where he keeps saying “crap”?) I tried viewing larger, but that doesn’t work for these strips that are already pretty big!

BTW, there are 2 good rebuttals to that “Insanity is doing the same thing….etc.” cliche.

1) If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. 2) Practice makes perfect.

The Wild Sow- It looks like he’s trying to play a video game. I also enjoyed your rebuttals!

Thank you too, Wild Sow, for expanding the id for me. Incidentally, I thought that the first panel showed Scott playing with origami.
