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.

I think we need to hear the Doberman’s side of the story.

I agree with Mr. Meyer; the story was a little monochromatic to me.

The first panel was riviting. Had my attention.

Did his wife just get new glasses? Now I’m going to have to go back and look!

This strip has so many great one liners. This one is great:
“A man never stands so tall as when he stoops to strike at a dogs genitalia”.
Make your day interesting, repeat that line at some random point in your day. Puzzled looks will ensue, but you’ll laugh your @55 off.

Warning! Major pun ahead! By kicking the Doberman in the genitals, that makes him worse than a Doberman pincher.
