I thought about writing “Don’t you hate it when you catch yourself doing the very thing you hate in others?”
But I’ve been spending time on Facebook, and I’ve just about decided that none of us notice when we do the exact same stuff we hate in others, and for those very special few who DO realize they do it, the response doesn’t seem to be chagrin, but a kind of weird pride.
As a cartoonist, I’d like to thank humankind for being so human.
I generally don’t mind catching myself doing something like that. What I hate is when someone else catches me as I’m catching myself at it.
Hey, my world runs on ‘favors’. I do someone one, and they do me one. Just today I got some stuff delivered from a major burg, they stopped by and picked up for me as they had a full sized pickup and I don’t. I paid for their lunch for it. Early next month I’m going someplace and as long as I’m there I’ll snag them a few things since I’ll be right there….
TV shows and major paintball events, aren’t in the same category though. Paste is just a pest, that’s not in the same league as Kelly trying to bum a comp pass to a paintball weekend.
Thank you. We strive to please. Seriously, if I ever do that I do apologize after snickering to myself.
Paste isn’t going away, deal with it.
Since Paste is 13, school will happen eventually and that will end some things. At least there will be some peace (if he isn’t shipped back to his dad).
And I thought this sort of thing was specific to comics and fandom–but then I guess sports has its own sort of “fandom” too doesn’t it? (So much for me getting steamed that Big Bang Theory got preempted for basketball tourney last night!)
almost sorry for kelly for he is doing the same thing he keeps telling paste not to do almost kettle calling the pot.
So, when’s your Patreon going up?
You think I should jump into the Patreon thing?
I would put up a dollar a month. You seem to have a good crowd here, I imagine you could make between $500 and a thousand a month. Doesn’t cost you anything to try right? And a buffer, given the changes the industry is going through? Why wouldn’t you?
Actually, given that Smythe-Cholera’s company is covering all the costs with enough left over for lobster dinners for everyone, and Paste’s dad is effectively underwriting all of Paste’s expenses with money left over to spend on the shop, Hubris isn’t really hurting for cash right now. In fact, if Kelly in exchange promises to hand over a finished product edited down to one hour on Blu-Ray DVD, Hubris can offer to sell it to Vinculum as a souvenir of the event.
Bravo!
Look. I really, really like you guys, and all the fun comments. BUT I draw the line at sneaking into my brain and guessing my plot turns before I put them on paper. It gives me a headache, you stomping around in there, peeking under the rocks and old bits of disused plywood and all.
Next time, I promise to bring a mop and a vacuum.
I’ve got this really nice book on Japanese rock gardens, too, if you want me to bring a rake as well…
Hey I wipe my feet before trespassing! And I usually pick up all the Taco Bell wrappers and soda cups I find up there, before I leave! Even some of yours…
(TSOJ I think it’s called ‘bobcat’ ‘skip dumpster’ and ‘pressure washer’ 😉 )
Who’s up for some John Malkoviching while we’re here?
Yeah, I don’t think having a serene, manicured brain would do my cartooning any good. Leave the rake at home, and try not to frighten any of the goblins that live in the dark corners.
Yeah if you dont have goblins then paste would never exist
He can’t pay? Oh, no. Nope. There are other things besides money…
Kelly could sell it to Smythe Cholera as an info-mercial.
“Don’t you hate it when you catch yourself doing the very thing you hate in others?”
Depends. If it’s stupid, yeah, then I change. If not, not, then I become more tolerant of that behavior. It’s a learning experience.
