Comic
Ha! You thought it was all done, yesterday. Right? But I got ya, right? Did I get ya?
Also, Urine punchline. Twice. Booyah. And just a few weeks after the big fart joke. We’re going downhill faster than a li’l red wagon, here.
I don’t know if combining the last line of the scary story and the first joke to come after into one comic strip is a good idea or not. Objectively, I mean.
I think it’s great, personally. But as a storyteller (especially in this day and age of comment sections under comics) you realize that you can never accurately predict how the general population is going to respond.
You guys- the ones who come right straight to Hubriscomics.com- probably get it the way I intended. You guys wait, though, ’til this one goes to GoComics.com/hubris, and we’ll see how Non-Hubris-Specific Readers weigh in. That’ll be an acid test.
I guess you can tell we’re getting closer to the end of the campfire story.
Time for someone to sneak up behind all of us and shout “BOO!”
I guess, when hearing campfire tales, you’re supposed to identify with either the main character, or someone who sacrifices for the main character- depending on your age and familial standing.
Meaning, of course, you’re either thinking “She shouldn’t leave that kid all alone!” or “She’s protecting her kid like any good parent, backed into a corner, would do”
As long as you’re not identifying with the Wukilar, Okay?
Name in these things are weird, aren’t they?
Ezekiel isn’t a popular name these days, but try to tell a story about the mythic past and see if there isn’t a Zeke in there somewhere.
‘Reckon’. That there’s a fine, fine word and I’m sorry it’s not really common parlance, these days.
You could be reckoning up sums, or you could reckon whether you might not have another piece of pie after dinner, or you might have a reckoning over the thug that took your parents in the alley on the night that led you down the path of being a super-vigilante. I reckon.
Oooooh and the sequel to the Wukilar Movie should be called Wukilar: The Reckoning. Maybe the third or fourth sequel. You know, when movie franchises get really really good. Like Jason Goes To Space or whatever that one was called.
I looked at some artisanal soap at an artist market here around last Christmas.
Just couldn’t get myself to buy any, even though it looked good enough to eat.
So, when they make the Wukilar Movie (anybody know folks that make movies? Tell ’em to talk to me about Wukilars.) I think they can just use this cartoon as the storyboards, and keep all the dialogue the way it is. Yep, that’d be best.
Also, look at that cinematic sky in the second panel. That there is a heck of a sky, don’t you think?
