Comic Transcripts

Woman: Congrats on the new job!
Man: ACK ARGG BLUH I’m so nervous!
What if they think I’m weird? Or start THROWING things or want to “ROUGHHOUSE”?
WHAT IF THEY ASK ME ABOUT FOOTBALL

Woman: You’re a smart guy. You can analyze the situation. Deduce how to act natural.
Social interaction is just a WORD PROBLEM with lots of variables.
Approach cautiously, experiment, gather data, adapt!
Man: That’s all fine but WHAT ABOUT PROJECTILES

Woman: Calm down.
When in doubt, just ask yourself: WHAT WOULD THE MYTHBUSTERS DO?

I wrote a little reminiscence on Patreon (free/unlocked) — including a first-since-then reprint of the photocomics I made at the time, documenting the trip!
