Hubris- Rainbow Crowd

Jan17

by Greg Cravens on January 17, 2020 at 12:01 am

Chapter: Comic

Today’s cartoon works under the assumption that you’ve been reading properly for, gosh, weeks now, and have been retaining what you’ve read. That’s kind of a crazy assumption to labor under, but there it is. You’ve seen (I hope) that guy in the middle of the frame before. And, given a moment to think, you know why everyone’s walking around in looking like they’ve been dipped in PAAS Easter egg coloring.

If you don’t… maybe click on the ‘Hubris Archive’ button, or hit the ‘back’ button over and over again until you go, “Oh, yeeeeeeaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh. I ‘member now.”

If you’re offended by censorship, this is your version.

If you’re offended by this cartoon, look at the other one.

Hubris- Cross Dialect

Jan15

by Greg Cravens on January 15, 2020 at 12:01 am

Chapter: Comic

I doubt that Bro-Speak or Dude-Speak are actual dialects. Maybe they qualify as Pidgins? It’s been a while since I did any reading on such stuff.

If I remember right, though, a Pidgin can develop into a Dialect, given time and restricted outside influence.

So, somewhere in the Baja peninsula, there may be a small group of dudes who are building up a Bro-speak that will one day be discovered by Etymologists who will be both gleeful to have discovered it, and wildly disappointed that any human beings can communicate via a language that’s been truncated to the point where it employs only seventeen words.

…Twelve of which would be either general exclamations or adjectives, depending on context. The paper the Etymologists publish would be “Gnar.”

You guys didn’t need to hear any more from Peter, did you?

Hubris- Worth and Value

Jan08

by Greg Cravens on January 8, 2020 at 12:01 am

Chapter: Comic

So, what’s a thing worth? Whatever someone will pay you for it.

I’ve seen people say that the value of a baseball card is a specific dollar amount because they read it in the price guide. Well, I know from growing up buying comics that the amounts in the price guide are only valid if you can get someone to cough ’em up.

Hubris might be overvaluing his store. Maybe not.

I’ve got an old Jeep. People ask how much I want for it. I say, “Six thousand.” and they say “It’s not worth that.” to which I reply “It’s worth more to me in my driveway than in yours.” So, yeah, my old rattletrap isn’t worth six thousand to a bank, or to some guy who randomly wants me to sell my Jeep without me saying “Hey, I think I’ll sell my Jeep.” but in the end… Well, in the end, Peter’s not going to be able to buy the Outdoor Galore Store. Wonder how he’ll react to that?

Hubris- Problems and Solutions

Jan07

by Greg Cravens on January 7, 2020 at 12:01 am

Chapter: Comic

I occasionally have young people contact me asking for a job. They want to draw comic books, usually. When I tell them that I don’t publish comic books and therefore can’t hire them to draw comic books, there seems to be a bit of a disconnect- a moment where their great business plan recedes back to their first principles and falls in on itself. Same issues happen when people contact me to go into a speculative business with them. They don’t call it that, they say, “I have an idea for a children’s book, we should work together to do it!” And I have to explain that everyone I know has an idea for, and sometimes has written, a children’s book. Also, writing and illustrating a children’s book is the easy part- it’s finding an agent to lug the thing around to publishers that’s the hard, time consuming, industry-specific thing.

And that leads us to Peter Enis Wang… who has a great idea or two to pitch to Hubris.

Maybe you can see where his plan is going.

Hubris- Monkey Party

Jan06

by Greg Cravens on January 6, 2020 at 12:01 am

Chapter: Comic

Stuff that sounds fun to you isn’t going to sound fun to everyone. You know what I mean. You like bicycles, and there are friends that gently rib you about riding. You like Necco wafers, and your friends correctly give you &^%$ about Necco wafers.

I don’t think that Pete and Hubris like the same stuff. Apes in a Monkey party, for instance.

You guys… have worked out the butt of my jokes with Peter now, haven’t you?

Hubris- Twist and Shout

Jan03

by Greg Cravens on January 3, 2020 at 12:01 am

Chapter: Comic

Ooooh, lots and lots of panels! And an odd number of them, to boot! Very out-of-the-ordinary. This whole 2020 thing must have gotten to me.

Maybe I can do even more panels on special days this year. You know the ones. Like, 02-02-2020. That’ll be a fine day.

I bet that date is so entertaining that some crackpot somewhere is predicting that it’ll be the end of the world or something. Like, y’know… “At 2:20:20 on 02-02-2020 preee-cisely, dadgum if’n it ain’t gon’ be th’ end of th’ dang ol’ world! Get yo’selfs right with Heaven, Y’all!”

But I know what I’m gonna do.

Keep the radio and TV on, ’cause it’ll be that time and day in Australia WAY before it is where I am. If I hear, on 02-01-2020 (which will be the next day already in Australia) that Australia… I dunno, fell off the planet or burst into flames or something even weirder, then we’ll know that Rev’rund Peavine Forrest Bubba Huckleberry was right. We’ll have HOURS to say, “Well, doggone if he wasn’t right. Hey, let’s go loot a store or something before the end of the world.”

Hmm. That wasn’t at all what I had intended to say today.
