The best laid plans of mice and men…
I think I’ve alluded to that old line before, haven’t I? It’s weird how many of our cast make plans that don’t…quite…work…out.
Might even be a… I dunno… a theme or something.

It has occurred to me that ten years of Hubris comics would make a heck of a large book.
Yeah, Team Wukilar is back.
Mostly because I like to say, “Wukilar”. I can even do it in a sort of Don Knotts voice if I have a minute to get ready.
If you don’t recall when we had Team Wukilar at the last Fest or The Wukilar Song way before that, you have my deepest sympathies. Man, those were funny.
That, and the Wukilar Song cost me a whole day of work. I’m not a songwriter.
Oh! I wrote this, though-

When and where I was in high school, there were a number of young men who gauged the success of their weekends based on the number of beers that were drunk.
It led to conversations like this:
“Hey, man, you know how much fun we had this weekend man? We had three cases of beer, man, that’s how much fun we had, man!
I realize that, written out, it hardly seems to be a conversation. My part of it, though, was pretty much just nodding, and trying to look like I knew what in hell they were talking about.
Also, The National Cartoonist Society nominations for the various divisions of the Reuben awards were announced. I’m nominated for Newspaper Illustration, for which I’m very proud. I didn’t get a nomination in the ‘long-form online comic’ award for my work on Hubris. There is some stiff competition, of course, but I still think that we can get there one day. It might take voodoo or something, but I’m game.
I considered having her call the kids ‘Nutlets.’ But only for a very short moment.
The madness passed.
I don’t think there’s a correct use of umlauts in this whole comic.
We’re doing the Bob Newhart thing again today.
If you don’t know what that means, you go get a copy of ‘The Button Down Mind of Bob Newhart’ in whatever format you like. I think the original release was on wax cylinder. It’s good, though. Someday, when all albums are sold by instantaneous thought transfer, people will still be like, “Well, I guess I gotta buy the Bob album again…”
I thought about putting this photo on Patreon so that only patrons could see it. But I don’t wanna run ’em off or anything. Nice people.
I also thought maybe I’d put it in the blog section of the website, but then, it’d be there whenever anyone scrolled down a bit- maybe for months.
Then, I figured I’d just dump it here so anyone morbid enough could get a look, but it’ll be buried in the archives or something and no lasting harm will be done to people’s eyes and minds.
Looky! Bruise!
The dates and lines are where they were keeping track of how far and fast it was spreading. Yick.
Eventually, it was all over my leg, more or less. Now, it’s mostly from the knee down.
Okay, look away now. If… You… Can.
Kara’s dad is loosely based on a teacher I knew a long time ago. I probably didn’t understand him at all, but what I decided way back then about him works pretty well as a cartoon character. Who I was at the time would work pretty well as a cartoon character, too, now that I think of it.
Motivation is fun to write about.
