Don’t forget- If you’re a Tweeter, you need to stop by #gocomics today (Friday the 9th) at 1:30 CDT while they’re having me in to do a ‘Live Tweet’ event. Ask some goofy questions, willya?
I suppose it’s not cool or politically correct or something to say that you’re trying to raise awareness of men’s health issues, but it does need to be done. You can argue that men’s health issues are the basis for most, if not all, of the health research done for the first hundred years of modern Western medicine, and you can argue that boosting for this takes attention away from other, more deserving issues… but really. We all need to look after ourselves.
And let’s face it. Guys barely do what they’re supposed to do, even when they’re reminded.
So. Guys. Go get your prostate checked. Your guy-junk needs to stay healthy, or you die. There you go.
And you can go to Movember.com. Also, you can grow your Mo’stache. When people say, “Why are you puttin’ on them affectations like growing out that lip-fungus?” You can tell ‘em “I’m doing to remind you to go to the doctor and do the one thing that scares the %$#@ out of you! Get it checked!”
Get it checked, dude.
Oh … bright lig… Why is Durnell in a TUX for an OUTDOOR SPORTING event? What is it? Lawn Bowling? Horse Shoes? Bocci?
I bet it comes off (just like a dancers), and underneath is a pair of biking shorts and a t-shirt…
Oh, that’s right. I haven’t filled in Durnell’s backstory for anyone yet, have I….?Oh, what an oversight on my part. Hmm. Might as well roll with it for now. So, Ladiiiiieeeees and Gentlemen, Chil’ren of Aaaaaall ages, I give you: Durnell Haaaaaawwwwwwk! Bam. Boom.
Things going marginally right for Hubris.. All I see is a higher mountain to fall off of..
Waiiiit wait wait… Durnell the redneck? The same Durnell that was last saw in the Oct 7 strip? Yeah, bit of a gap in backstory, but I still can’t wait to see what happens next.
Keep up the good work Greg.
Hmmm… Durnell cleans up pretty nice… Despite the sequiny get-up.
And yes, backstories are lovely! Not being sarcastic. I love reading about how somebody got to be where and when.
But it’s not completely necessary in some cases. Especially in a comic like yours where the people pretty much tell you who and what hey are in their behaviors and actions.
So if/when you decide there’s a time n place for Durnell’s story, I’ll be happy to read it. But no pressure. =)
Remember, guys, WHY Durnell Hawk is in the Fest in the first place – he’s the cheaper version of skateboard great Tony Hawk. What he does on-stage stays on stage.
