This is the 2011 Christmas image.  Ten years ago, right?

First Christmas image I ever ran on the site.  Back again!

This was back when I still thought that most Hubris readers would be kayakers and skateboarders and bicycle enthusiasts.

Now, of course, we know that we’re all just comic strip readers… and I’m glad to be disillusioned.  Of COURSE the people who read this comic will be comic strip readers.  What was I thinking?

Anyhow, It’s fun to look back and say “Oh, cute.  The bobble on his hat is a skateboard wheel.  I have no memory of drawing that whatsoever.”  I do, however, remember the first time I bought white skateboard wheels and figured they’d be gray or worse pretty damn quick.
