I don’t usually use spelled-out harsh language, but I trust I won’t offend anyone today. We’ll see if this cartoon makes it onto GoComics in a month or so. Oh, the times are changing. Fifty years ago, comic strips made fun of national and cultural stereotypes but didn’t use any salty language at all. These days, we try to be sensitive with the social and cultural issues, but ‘ass’ is in common parlance. What’s the world coming to, I ask? What?
Change it to trash-panda and it will fly, Greg.
Hubris is going to have a crazy-dream-night, isn’t he? Right before things start?
I heard the little critters are good eating. Not gonna try them myself. I’ve called them worse, though not in print.
EVEN Hubris is too worried to even TRY to get it back.
15 minutes later, the key is on the table, the refrigerator is cleaned out, and the doors are all locked again.
@James Lindley – I’ve had them before. They’re okay but you have to cook the hell out of them to make the meat less tough. Great for stews though. Lil gamy. I like turtle better.
@Mister Greg – some reason Hubris’ face in that last panel reminded me of my grandfather. He had a very gaunt almost scary look at times. Very Nor’Easterly look to him. Oddly, it was one of his more handsome features to me. Thanks for the reminder… I kinda miss the old coot.
I had turtle fried and liked it.
Beat the snot out of it with a tenderizer and marinade, pressure cook worked best. Or stew it to absolute shreds. Gamey is an old male. Those are tough to get that taste tamed… turtle is better.
Ha, Ratbastard, that’s a new one, I shall start calling Raccoons those. xD
I’ve seen way worse language on gocomics, so I doubt they’ll care. It’s pretty funny, network television experimented with course language and backside nudity (NYPD Blue, ER, even the X-Files) up until the Janet Jackson thing and then they got scared. To the point that The Simpsons couldn’t even show cartoon butts by Network decree. Graphic violence was still a-ok though.
Meanwhile, in Europe, I saw a shampoo commercial that had full frontal nudity (calm down, it was male). What world, haha.
Hey.. Ghost dad.. Scare the Trash Pandas.. Please?
LOL That’s a good punch line, and I’ve NEVER seen Hubris even remotely close to angry … this is kinda scary.
wouldn’t you too if you start wondering what kind of party and what kind of DESTRUCTION he will find back home? hehe
of course I would buddy … of course, I’d take Team US home with me, and send you in first. 😀
“NEVER”? Take a gander, commander:

Don’t believe Hubris had ever been this honked off before or since.
12:06 am Monday morning the 16th, no Hubris?
I know. I hope everything is OK with Greg.
I was wondering too
no news on his twitter either…
Hopefully he’s been out partying or is just busy with work.
hopefully not the leg problem or a parachute ‘oops’
Yeah, the leg thing is what scares me. But it’s probably nothing. He may have other more important matters to attend to like paying work or a massive hangover.
For what it’s worth, I searched “parachute mishaps” for this weekend and I think he’s good on that end.
He’s fine… he just got “jiggy” with it last night, and forgot to write or post the comic or something … Nothing on Google News so … hope it’s good news.
If you’re worried, you can go the “Johnny Dangerously”-route, & call them “Fargin’ Bastiches!”…
…then cut-off their BELLS!!!?!
He just updated, read next installment. I can vouch I was on radar yesterday and today and seen he caught royal grief up his way. I had a boiler today south of the county line that did NOT move all afternoon. Those are the deadly ones around here… [Storm Radar app from Weather Channel, it is excellent once set up right, if you live in places that can get it on short notice]
