As someone with no sense of direction, I feel this cartoon is offensive and I should start some kind of protest for people who, well, couldn’t meet up in the same place for the obvious reason…
Comic
Happy Christmas or whichever thing you personally celebrate. “End of the Tax Year” or “Festivus” or anything you like. It’s a free country, to some people’s chagrin.
As you can see, it might not be Christmas eve in the HubrisVerse. Be not dismayed. It’s probably still, I dunno, 1998 there, too, for all I know.
It’s like ‘Stranger Things’ only with climbing walls.
I remember, years ago, reading a fat Marvel Comics collection (“Bring On The Bad Guys”, I believe, for which I had saved many allowances and the money from many mown yards) wherein Stan Lee mentioned in a preface to a Thor/Silver Surfer story how tricky it was writing dialogue for Thor.
I don’t doubt it.
People say that it’s a poor carpenter that blames his tools, but good carpenters always have really, really good stuff to work with for a reason.
When I kayaked, there was a lot of helmet talk. And a lot of boat purchases and comparison. It was fun. People were tempted to use non-kayaking helmets that looked cool or seemed better… and then discovered why the helmets were built the way they were.
When I was a kid, we in the neighborhood discovered hockey helmets at the local sports store… or more likely Walmart… and since there was no hockey whatsoever in our area, the helmets went into use for skateboarding by those of us who listened to our parents. Plus, hockey helmets were WAY cooler looking than skateboard helmets. Or the motorcycle helmet that one kid wore. Or the football helmet that another kid wore.
But the caving helmets that me and my buddy Jon had were the best! Except when used for anything except caving. Then they sucked.
SO… fancy knight’s armor helmet. Yeah, very cool looking… but you don’t wanna come flying off a bicycle and ring THAT bell, dude.
Too late. Chivalry took it in the back and keeled over years ago. Of course, Chivalry had some odd ideas about itself and the people (if chivalry wanted to call them that, which it sorta didn’t) around it.
They tell public speakers to consider their audiences.
That doesn’t apply to social media, of course.
For social media, you just consider whatever’s in your own head. That’s why it’s so much faster and easier!
I should do a whole thing with Dr. Whobris. That’d be funny, and not at all so specific that it’d severely restrict the number of readers who would enjoy it.
