Basic Instructions started out as a small side-feature Scott Meyer created to entertain people who came to his website looking to hire a comedian. It wasn't long before the comic was far more popular than anything Scott ever did as a comedian.
Basic Instructions is a series of guides meant to help you lead a better life. They cover topics as diverse as "How to Deal with Boredom" and "How to Travel Back in Time to Deliver a Dire Warning to Your Former Self". Basic Instructions is populated with exaggerated versions of Scott, his family and his friends, which has caused no small amount of unpleasantness.

What about ILF??

Can someone define ILF? Google has lots of stuff, but nothing seems to fit.
The third panel is great. “…reminding people of a similar situation they already know and understand.” Ha!

I used to know a guy who said: “It’s only illegal if you get caught.”

Hopefully, he got caught!

Age of consent in most states is 17. If he girl is younger but her “partner” is not more than 2 years older than her, then all he has to worry about are claims of force and her parents. Good rule of thumb, don’t f*ck anyone that you aren’t in love with. Real love not lust.

it’s just a little bit scary how many of you appear to have actually researched the issue!

Yeah, sorry I asked! But now I understand the punch lines at the bottom of panel 4, at least.

These conversations go back a long way. I remember when I was a youngster working in a tire shop some of the older guys used the line “16 will get you 20”. (years in jail)

I like the “To Catch a Predator” reference in the third panel. ‘Help local schools and get to meet Chris Hansen,’ is just too funny.

I believe that the age of consent in AZ is 18. 2 years older for the guy is not an excuse, and he can be legally charged with sexual abuse of a minor.
