Hangin’ at a crawfish boil yesterday (thanks again, Brian and Anne!) and Mark said he’d send me a link to this longboard video.
Looks like Madrid is a fun place to be on a weekend with a longboard.

Hubris is sort of a new, little comic, and I tell ya, building up readership is tricky! I don’t yet think 21st century very well. I have to be reminded that my phone will do all kinds of stuff for me that I used to have to do for myself.

Anyhow, I tripped across this really cool webcomic March Madness thing that’s gotten totally out of hand. There’s insane numbers of really good webcomics nominated. Hubris is in there, but you have to look waaay down in the list to the first round of updated names. Will you slip over there and vote? In return, I’ll make a valiant effort to update more than M-W-F this week, just to say “Thanks” to you, and to say “Hey!” to all the new readers that wander by.
Thanks, Team Hubris! (Or Team Wukilar, if you want to hang with the Dark Side. It’s cool.)
Allan VS is kind enough to post here often, but for the past few years now, every time I think of the name Allan, I get this stuck in my head. Had to share, just to drive it out a bit.
I’m trying out a Zazzle store- for me if not for you. I plan to skate on a Paste skateboard. It seems fun.
Anyhow, here’s me tinkering with the stuff they’re providing. If you don’t see anything below this comment, don’t worry. I’m not great at this stuff.
Some of the folks coming to Hubris the last few days are clicking here from ads I’ve tried out on various other websites.
I’ve been wildly entertained by the analytics of the ads- the sheer number of visitors that established sites get, clicks per views from the ads, and… bounce rates.
Bounce rates are the number of people that click to the site and then, without doing anything else, exit. And it’s the percentage of people that DON’T do that I’m writing about. More specifically, it’s people that have kindly clicked here from Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal. I’m telling you- You guys are something special amongst audiences.
Consistently and surprisingly low bounce rates, consistently high pages-per-visit and looong average-time-on-site add up to a readership that I’ll bet Zach Weiner (SMBC creator) is very proud of and grateful for. You guys come here to READ. I’m very pleased to have lured some of you here with my silly ad, and I hope you come back often. The only people that beat SMBC readers for sheer pages-read come over from OGLAF.
There are other sources that stand out for other reasons- Sinfest Readers are marvelously best at clicking new ads en masse, and of course Danielle Corsetto’s readers are LEGION. Her readership surpasses the number of people known to live on the planet just now.
As it is, my experiment with ads is about to go into the ‘Who’s bookmarked Hubris and will come back without the ads to click on’ phase. So hopefully everyone who reads this will add Hubris to your favorites and wander back a few times a week to say, “Hey.”
You guys fascinate me.
AllanVS posted this on Facebook, saying it should be a Hubris thing. Thought I’d share it here. Whattaya think? Hubris on Wheels?
Hubris has started running its new ads! I see traffic coming in from Sinfest, and most of it is brand-new, never-been-here-before traffic. Welcome, guys and girls and children of all ages! Hope you like what you see and you become part of Team Hubris. The comic strip updates M-W-F, and something else new updates on the other days, but you have to scroll down the page to get it. There’s product reviews, other cartooning projects, funny stories, random outdoors-type photos and an advice column. Feel free to look around and come back often.
I love videos like this, and I bet you do too, if Hubris appeals to you. The clip that just kills me is the POV of the skier dropping off the bazillion-foot ledge.
Nice ARTICLE about longboarding in the local paper today. The title is as uninspired as newspaper articles usually are… but having had to think of a few for Hubris (including this one), I won’t fault them for slapping something on it and getting back to work. I don’t know if the newspapers pay anyone enough to be truly thoughtful about headlines.
The nominations for favorite Webcomic over at the Washington Post are still happening. (Here). Please go tell ’em “http://hubriscomics.com/” if you will. You’re my hero.
