Hey! I just had a birthday! I won’t tell you which one. Some of you probably already know, and anyone who doesn’t can continue to be unconcerned that I might die of old age sometime soon. Sing a little birthday song for me, though, if you have a couple of seconds. Or click the ‘You & Hubris’ button over there on the left and leave a dollar as a token of birthday wishes. I’m not being crass, I’m trying to pay off a research trip to Alaska.
I’ve mentioned before that I sat on top of a scaffold in a bike shop for a week doing a mural. It was interesting to be the proverbial fly on the wall, and see the different ways that different employees interacted with different customers. There were variables everywhere- time of day, personal or by phone, male or female, kind of bike rider, general personality of the employee, general personality of the customer… it was a subtle dance, each interaction unique.
I’ve managed to use the ‘It’s not THAT kind of outdoor store’ line several times since starting the strip. I thought it’d be funny to have that as a running gag. And I thought I’d used up all the other ‘kinds’ of outdoor store until I found the line popping up naturally in today’s cartoon. Cool.
