This comic was inspired by a situation in real life, but I took some liberties. No, nobody asked Ric for advice. The truth is that a third person told someone who was having problems that they should ask Ric for advice. I think we’ll all agree, that’s even more confounding.
If you think I’m being needlessly mean, I’ll point out that Ric called me to tell me about this. He laughed as he told me. That’s how much respect for his own opinions Ric has, which probably makes him the most rational person I know.
I’ll be taking next week off. Thanks for your patience. I will be back the following week.
