Basic Instructions by Scott Meyer for November 04, 2024

I’m just here to remind everyone that caffeine is an addictive, brain-altering drug. Drink up!

Same here. I like coffee, my wife doesn’t. The only difference is my wife would never be persuaded to try “the good stuff”. I can hear her now…, “If I wanted something that tasted like chocolate and pineapple, I would eat a slice of chocolate covered pineapple. Why ruin it by dipping it in burnt mud?”

isn’t decaf actually worse for you some how?

like every good intentioned alternative?

There are varieties that do not taste like burnt mud but they are hard to find.

..but I like the taste of burnt mud..

My husband is English and I am Italian. I watch him boil his water (it must whistle!) and time the poured tea precisely, then add cream to that colored water. Ugh. I grind my beans and make espresso dopio-perfetto! My husband says it looks like mud and smells worse, so he takes his tea and leaves the kitchen.

I have never gotten the popularity of paying for the privaledge of having vendors sell you stuff. My dad and brothers used to pay to get in car shows and boat shows and mom and sister-in-laws paid to get into bridal shows. Seems like a scam.

Panel three alone has more laughs than most other strips.

I can’t drink coffee. It keeps me awake all day at work.

How does she know what burnt mud tastes like?

Scott IS releasing more than one strip every two weeks – the missing ones are on his own webpage basicinstructions.NeT

Mmmm. Burnt mud.

Scott, we miss ye!

Well, no new cartoon in weeks. It seems Scott did have a coronary. Luckily, it was first-class, none of that plebeian crap.
