When adults are behaving like children, we occasionally tell them they’re acting like children. This rarely has the desired result of making the adult examine his or her behavior and correcting it, but typically makes them double down on the shouting rants that made us think the problem needed to be called to their attention in the first place.
Adults, anyhow, are capable of some pretty machiavellian bad stuff even when they’re behaving like adults.
And, as in today’s cartoon, it all begs the question “Behaving like an adult WHAT?”
Behaving like an adult human, I hope, is better than behaving like an adult jackass.
I think Big Ron is asking for trouble.
Not physical trouble, like Mal might pick an actual fight.
I think he might start dating Shelly. That might be trouble. They’re just too similar… relationships like that are volatile. Y’know. “Trouble”
Hey, guys and gals- a friend of mine has released a new book. It’s one of those nerve-wracking torn-from-the-headlines kinda true stories they looooove to make TV shows out of.
Read it before they make the TV movie so you can say you were in on it waaaay before all these Johnny-come-latelys.
Mark Simon’s memoir, Attacked!, was just released. It’s about when he was bullied and they followed him home and attacked his family. Mark went through months of terror, but refused to back down. He became the first person in the country to hold parents responsible for the actions of their kids in a court of law. You can buy it on Amazon or Kindle.

I bet you thought I misspelled ‘unrequited’ love in the title didn’t ya?
But no. I just don’t see this obsession Big Ron has with Shelly as absolutely necessary.
Do you?
Thor is really selling it, don’t you think?
Durnell is good at the play-by-play, and Clem does fine with color commentary, but for sheer exuberance, you want Thor on the mic.
Plus, y’know, Australians have those cute li’l accents.
You don’t want ALL your dreams to come true, do you?
Gotta leave something to strive for. That means either you gotta keep adding in better dreams as ones come true, or you gotta plump up the ones you got.
Like “I’d like to be an Air Force pilot” might, upon realizing that you’re about to earn your wings, become “I’ma be an astronaut, you know. Someday soon.”
Tend those dreams, folks!!
My dream was to do syndicated comic strips. I’ve had to modify here and there.
I know what you’re thinking.
You’re stunned.
It’s a whole entire Hubris cartoon without any dialogue at all.
None!
It’s weird. I know. There might be some dialogue in Monday’s cartoon.
Y’know, there’s not even a sound effect in this one. Double weird.
I think the judges have validated Prince Mongo’s belief in his teammate. I mean, The Prince knew she could kayak that course and win, but that’s not the belief that the judges have validated. No, they’ve bought into the idea that anyone at all was involved in what can only be described as the disemboweling of a toy boat.
You see the boat, you hear a name… you witness the unrelenting power of a gazillion foot-pounds of force on some cardboard and tape… and somehow, you feel a little bad for Gaia.
Who never existed, so far as anyone can tell.
It’s weird. Just… weird.
