How to Learn Your Lesson
Added 2025-09-08 07:00:02 +0000 UTCI have had arguments that have lasted for years. Decades, even. They’ve endured long after the person I was arguing with probably forgot the conversation, or even my name. That is not a good thing. If you disagree, please don’t tell me. See the beginning of this paragraph for a clue as to how the conversation might go.
I know I am not alone in this. I have a cousin who refers to his shower as “the argument simulator.”
They say many people get their best ideas in the shower. I’ve gotten a few good ideas in there, but for the most part, it’s been a great source of thoughts that start with “I shoulda said . . .”
One of the MANY gifts those of you who humor my nonsense have given me is that, thanks to this comic, and my other fiction writing, if I think of what I should have said, I still get to say it. It’s like having a time machine. I can recreate the moment for you, and then Cartoon Meyer gets to say the thing that I, as real Meyer, only got to imagine.
In a way, I have found a way to monetize grudge holding.
(NOTE: The idea of making this commentary partially be about ideas from the shower did, indeed, occur to me in the shower.)

This is how one gets stuck in a loop.
