If you haven’t been here to the site over the weekend, you might have to hit the ‘previous’ comic strip button a time or two…

Second of four extra comics for you guys!
Thanks, everyone who’s clicked on the ‘You And Hubris‘ tip jar button and joined Team Hubris!
If you seem to find yourself out of step with the cartoons as of yesterday, it may be because I’m uploading extras, which makes the schedule more random.
In other words, you might want to look at the previous cartoon or two and make sure you’re all caught up.
I have finally gotten to provide you folks with an extra cartoon. My apologies that it couldn’t be posted at the stroke of midnight last night, but here it is for you. Surprise!!
Ahhh. Getting back on schedule. If I gotta work, then everyone in the comic strip gets to work today… or at least take calls about work.
There you go. No Backsies!
Actually, for any of you guys who wonder about how this strip gets written, or at least plotted (IS there anyone like that?) The story when Mr. Smythe-Cholera first went rafting with his family and Hubris was supposed to be the precursor to today’s strip and the upcoming “Corporate Weekend.” Building all the weird circumstances in between seemed like it should only take me a couple of weeks or so, and I rolled along with it. Now here we are, heaven-knows-how-long down the road, finally touching on the first notes of that story I thought we’d be well into by now.
There you go.
Well!
That was a nice week off!
I’m really happy to be back to it. I was able to write two weeks worth of scripts I’m happy with in a single happy sitting.
Time to fill in all your extra strips.
Well, here we are again, kiddies! It’s the week I usually bail out. I leave you with this nice painting of Santa’s helper, and if I manage something stupid between now and January first, I’ll try to put it online.
At least part of the week will be taken up getting extra strips prepped. I believe I owe you guys four extra ones, since the heroes have stepped up to the tip jar. It’s also waaay past time I get the new stickers made, so there’s something else that’ll keep me from getting any extra sleep during what I like to call Weird Week.
Weird Week is the odd week (in the U.S., anyway) where very little gets done, business-wise. Folks are doing travel, dealing with retail snafus, resting up after binge eating and drinking, and generally not calling up freelance cartoonists much. Which is good, since I’m in the middle of three fair-sized jobs and need a few days to tinker with those, too.
And if you celebrated Hanukkah starting last Tuesday and I didn’t say to have a good one, well, I hope you did. Or, if you’re busy celebrating, I dunno… Kwanzaa, Saturnalia, Eid, Solstice, Tax Year’s End, Festivus, Flying Spaghetti Monster Feast, Weird Week, Boxing Day…whatever you do, enjoy! I say “Merry Christmas” ’cause that’s the one I’m doing, but I’m not saying you can’t do your’n. That’d be rude.
