Whattaya think? Lowell looking deep down inside himself and finding… something that has a raccoon acting skeptical.
Ya never know what’s gonna crop up here at Hubriscomics.
The title of today’s strip was shown to me as a rebus. A rebus is not a kind of monkey they do testing on. It’s a picture puzzle. At the time, I was working at a screen print operation, and the other artist on staff was told to be more efficient. He said he’d make a sign to remind him.
It was a big letter ‘A’, and a fish, an ampersand, and a letter ‘C’, if I remember right. I was very amused.
That has nothing to do with anything today, except that I’m amused by Durnell’s idea of efficiency.
If you didn’t know better, you’d think that Lowell didn’t want to continue that particular conversation.
Ms Wiggins-Ross doesn’t seem altogether surprised at discovering that Lowell has learned that he can have fun outdoors.
Hmm. Wonder what that means.
Personality comes into judging, doesn’t it? I mean, if we all saw things the same way and felt the same way about what we saw, there’d hardly be a reason for judges.
But if we feel our judgements aren’t being respected, well, we feel WE aren’t being respected. And, as we all know that if everyone just felt and behaved the we ourselves behaved, there would be no war and no poverty- if we ourselves aren’t being respected, those who don’t respect us are enemies of peace and plenty. Anarchists and Huns, obviously.
We, as communicators, must consider our audience. That’s what they tell you.
They also tell you not to write to suit someone else, but write what you believe.
They also say, “If mama ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy.”
All this is the long way ’round to say, “Tell people what they wanna hear.”
So. Did any of you guys wanna hear all this?
I used to be able to talk about very minute details of whitewater kayaks.
Now, I don’t even know which manufacturers have the hot boats, or which have shut down without letting me know.
But I bet I could talk up a fine, fine cardboard kayak.
You may have heard the old saying “The cobblers children run barefoot” or “The tinker’s family eats from wooden bowls” or any of a half-dozen versions thereof.
It means that if it’s YOUR thing, your clients get better treatment than your family, mostly ’cause you can do family stuff “any ol’ time”, but it’s not that important.
But when it comes to doing something you’d LOVE to trade your career for? Your beloved Hobby? You put so much time into it that it becomes self-defeating anyhow.
And so- Kara and Steven are working hard at pleasing their need to make a fantastic boat, and their need to show how much they know about kayaks and physics around one another. Those two things, added together, means that nobody’s paying attention to the clock.
Shelly’s one of those girlfriends who doesn’t mind getting fired up over her guy.
I think.
Maybe she’s one of those girlfriends who’s been putting up with crap for long enough and has decided to take out her frustrations on anyone within reach.
Ever know anyone like that?
