How to Understand a Seemingly Useless Product
In truth, I have no problem with the tuba, or with those who play the tuba. I would like for those who play the tuba to consider me a friend, if only because they tend to have great upper-body stre...

How to Enjoy Your Own Geekiness
Unsurprisingly, this one is based on an actual conversation Ric and I had, about how much we enjoyed Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. We both particularly like how they handle the Gorn, but agree tha...

How to Share an Amazing Discovery
I tried a new deodorant and discovered that it smelled like far worse BO than any I’ve ever had. I did ask Missy to smell it, and she agreed with me, then cursed me for inflicting that odor on he...

How to Make Fun of a Show You Like
Half of the real Ric and my conversations consist of us picking apart things we both claim to enjoy. It's good we have each other to vent this stuff at. I'm sure Missy's happy to have someone else ...

How to Share Your New Hobby
I was a barista in the early 90s, in Seattle. That sounds like it should mean something, but it doesn't. I wasn't very good at it. I once talked to my boss about pursuing further training on the ex...

How to Steer a Conversation Back to the Topic
It's true. I have a VR headset, because I am a sci-fi author and it seemed like valid research (And I wanted to pleay Star Trek: Bridge Crew with my brothers). I have watched several movies in my V...

How to Recognize an Opportunity
Yes, I love coffee.
No, I've never had Kopi Luwak.
No, I definitely do not want some. The idea does not appeal to me in the first place, and my understanding is that the industry that h...

How to Mine Your Old Notes for New Ideas
These are actual entries from my old idea files. The Impala conversation did occur, and I don’t remember who with. The phrase “Land Squid” appears in the notes, entirely by itself, with no ex...

How to Process a Movie that Makes You Angry
This is partially fictionalized, in that I had Rick and I each have a movie that made us mad, while in real life it was I who was irritated by both movies, for the reasons enumerated in the comic.<...

Yeah, there was a mix-up with the running order of the comics, and this one is taken out of context from a comic you've already seen. Sorry about that.

The dialog in panel two is, almost verbatim, a conversation the real Ric and I had. I was joking, of course. I listen to some jazz, but not the steady diet Ric subjects himself to. Downbeat is a re...

How to Make Two Superheroes Fight Each Other Upon First Meeting
Norm Macdonald had a theory (E-I-E-I-O). He felt that the setup and punchline of the perfect joke would be identical, literally just the same sentence repeated twice. He never managed to write that...
