I don’t believe it changed anything about the cartoon, but I was listening to the Ant-Man & the Wasp movie while I inked this one.

So far, we’ve been lucky here. We have, as I think I’ve said before, a Roomba. It’s programmed to do it’s thing at 2 a.m. Thus far, it has not come across any dog or cat excrescence or regurgitas. I am very grateful.
I will not pretend not to have noticed the back and forth comments after last Thursday’s cartoon. I have stayed out of it because it seemed fairly pointless.
This week I propose a little something. Do you have any constructive criticism for Troy? Advice? Actual review of his work? That could be pretty interesting, entertaining, and useful- if done right.
I think about cartooning a lot. I have more opinions than are useful, really. So I won’t start things off myself. Let’s see what you guys come up with first.
Played a couple games of disc golf this past weekend.
I gotta start remembering to take photos when I do stuff.
I’m so twentieth century.
Tag is supposed to be a big deal now, right? Movies and game shows and stuff?
Tag is a good game. Straightforward. Not a lot of crazy rules.
Welcome to October Country, where fallen leaves disguise things on the trails that will knock you right the heck off your unicycle.
I’m posting this cartoon early, ’cause I’m going to meet up with a bunch of cartoonists. One of them is John, whom I’m hoping will agree to come back in here and get me back on track with my Patreon updating and acting like I’m running a real thing here. Wish me luck. We’re also gonna draw for the kids at another children’s hospital. That’s always good fun. And I’m doing a talk about how to get yourself made a member of the National Cartoonists Society. If you wanna be a member, just ask me how. I’ll tell ya.
Some of you will be old enough to remember (at least in syndication?) seeing TV shows that add “IN COLOR” at the end of the title sequence. Typically, it’s stuff like ‘Bewitched’ or ‘The Beverly Hillbillies’ or some police shows that started off in black and white, but they wanted the viewing public to know that, by golly, if you’re watching in black and white, you’re missing out on a hot new thing they were offering the public.
When I first made a new file folder for this website and labeled it ‘Hubris’, I didn’t want to confuse it with the older folders that had ‘Because It’s There’ and ‘Hubris’ packages for the syndicates. So in a merry spirit and recalling those old syndicated TV shows that made sure you knew you were getting the best technology could offer, I named the folder ‘Hubris In Color’ even though the cartoons were still uncolored when I named the file. I planned to color them before I put them on the web- assuring myself that it’d make people enjoy them so much more than if I just stuck the plain ol’ comic strips on there.
It’s still the same folder I use, even though the folder and files inside it would have burst an old analog file folder long ago.
I’ve been meaning to mention it for the past eight years. Hubris… IN COLOR!
I was telling Troy- we got one of those iRobot Roombas. We (I) named it Sucky McSuckerton. My wife tried to say that we weren’t naming it that, but I figured if I kept calling it L’il Sucky, it’d catch on.
It caught on.
Eight. Eight cartoons finished today. Seven Buckets cartoons and one Hubris. You’d think things could move more quickly than that. I always do.
My wife does something similar. Her weekend To-Do lists are usually stuff like, “First, Dismantle window in dining room. Put up wood in it’s place. Disassemble window, strip and plane all wood pieces. Clean glass. Condition wood, stain interior wood, primer and paint exterior wood. And, then, second…”
Stuff is just easier said than done. Except talking. That’s the same said as done.
CrazyAl is a fun guy to draw into the strip. You guessed that, didn’t you?
Writing you guys into the cartoon is a little tricky. I don’t have your voices in my head- not like Paste’s and Bob’s voices are just kinda ‘there’ when I need them. So… If and when I draw you into this mess, and it doesn’t exactly SOUND like you? You have my apologies. Show your friends anyhow. They’ll think it’s cool.
Geez. Is it Monday again already?
