Ever want to know the best way to combat "the silent treatment"? How to destroy society? Apply video game skills to real life? Well, read Help Is on the Way, a collection of strips from the hilarious online web comic Basic Instructions! Cartoonist Scott Meyer will guide you through some of life's more uncomfortable moments with plenty of absurdly bad advice, usually packed economically into four side-splitting panels. This is the kind of stuff that jumps from the weekly paper onto your cubicle wall in seconds flat! Learn how to apply the laws of physics to your personal relationships! Help Is on the Way, by Basic Instructions creator Scott Meyer, is your "all-inclusive guide to a life well-lived."

Comic and cartoonist Scott Meyer is back with yet another book of bad advice wrapped in good intentions. Learn such important skills as How to Talk to a New Parent, How to Engage in Prefight Smack Talk, How to Complain about Work, How to Properly Perform a High Five, and more! A former stand-up comedian, Meyer channels his extensive and varied wit into four panels of side-splitting culture commentary every other day or so and posts them to his website, basicinstructions.net. Dark Horse's second collection of those Basic Instructions, Made with 90% Recycled Art, will likely spend some time on the copy machine before certain pages find themselves on cubicle walls worldwide.

Basic Instructions, the webcomic of sarcasm and schadenfreude is back and as consistently surprising as ever! Helpful advice includes "How to Gloat Over Your Captured Enemy", "How to Prepare for the Apocalypse" and much more! Basic Instructions are your ‘all inclusive guide to a life well lived.' If you attempt to follow this advice, and your life goes hilariously askew, we apologize in advance, although not very sincerely.
