Unless it’s an April Fools gag, and then it’s Yoikes and away! (smack!) Yoikes, and away! (Smack!) yoikes… and away.(SMACK!) yoikes… and… (ugh!)… away…
That great, the only change to me since you left is a crippling alcohol dependency and a utter lack of hope about the future. But other than that, everything is peachy keen!
Famous cartoonist, hmmm… Bill Amend knows about going to once a week, Berkeley Breathed did too, Scott Adams introduced me to you before he went mad. Those are my picks. p.s. Glad to have you back.
I am (legitimately) so glad I never stopped following this on GoComics. I’d figured I would appreciate seeing the reruns even of strips I’d seen years before, but it’s especially good not to miss this.
I hesitate to draw everyone’s annoyance, but “…to only run once a week” means that he should do nothing but run one time a week. “To run only once a week” is probably what he was aiming for. However, with Scott, you never really know. (I’m glad there isn’t a “DISLIKE” button on Basic Instructions. Or is there?…)

I did enjoy the Mon Wed Fri. I WfH those days. If I saw a Basic Instruction, I didn’t have to get dressed for work.
Meg: All Seriousness Aside about 2 years ago
So this is great news! Unless it is an April Fool gag. I haven’t been reading long, but maybe he does this every April First.
But if it’s back, what day? Is it Friday? Or is this just for timing effect?
bestframeforward Premium Member about 2 years ago
YES!! My favorite strip of the modern era is (hopefully? probably??) BACK!!

Scott’s wife hasn’t aged a bit in the 7 years. Smart move on his part.

I notice you haven’t said what day so we have to search every week.
Oh wait! That’s genius!

Even in reruns, this strip often has me laughing out loud. Hope it’s not just April Fool’s!

So, Scott will be retracing his steps — and the rest of his bodies.

So glad to see the strip coming back, it’s my favorite. Unless you are just pranking us, in which case, touché!

johngregor Premium Member about 2 years ago
He should team up with Gary Larson and the guy who draws the penguin. They could create the cartoonist version of the “Expendables”.

Maybe he’ll run it like Doonesbury: repeats on weekdays and Saturday; fresh one on Sunday!
