Losing internet service is a pain. I had to use my cellphone as a hotspot yesterday because ours kept dropping. It’s been about 10 years since we had it go down that long though.
Toes crossed on you getting back on the net. I’ve been adrift before and at least I have a huge data-plan as long as phone and tablet stay working.
And poor Hubris, may the nightmare begin. He needs to do some sort of relax and stress relief therapy… he really does. Wonder who gets the job of making sure Hubris gets up and gets to the fest?
Crossing my fingers, crossing my friends’ fingers, crossing strangers’ fingers, crossing my friends, crossing strangers. Is that enough, or should I start widening my field of travel?
Mr.Hoffmann:
Make sure that each friend you recruit works as efficiently as possible:
1)_Each hand has 2 pairs of cross-able fingers.
2)_Not everyone has toes that are flexible-enough to manage 2 crossings-per-foot, but they can at-least cross each of their biggest toes over the neighboring toe.
3)_Then, they can cross their thighs, shins, upper-arms & lower-arms.
4)_Finally, they can cross their eyes.
(…I think that brings the total up to 13 crossings-per-person … did I miss any…?)
I’ve got Ehlers-Danlos and thus, I can cross 4 fingers on each hand … but it is BAD LUCK to cross more than one set of anything in “hopes” of something.
Just like telling your birthday wish will make it NOT come true.
Sounds like you-&-I were raised on different belief-systems…
(concerning “crossing” – I’ve heard about keeping a wish secret)
… not saying that anyone’s wrong, just saying that I don’t know, either way. For instance, would a crowd of Mr. Hoffmann’s friends, all “crossing” for the same cause, negate each other in the same way as a single person who employs “crossing” more-than-2 parts of their own body?
(& how would you design a reliable, repeatable test?)
The question simply doesn’t generate enough curiosity in me to prompt an attempt to test it out.
Re_”…everyone in my town is an idiot.”
Everyone?
OK, but, if you’re a member of your town, what does that say about YOU…?
Perhaps you meant, “everyone else”…?
(English can be such a STRANGE language!)
And the nightmares begin.

Well, his girlfriend-the-doctor might have some ideas on various forms of stress-relief, I suppose…?
😉 not in the rating of this strip, hehehe
I sure hope you do, does that mean we have a special even if it’s a THURSDAY? lol jk
wow, i know this outdoor fest is the bigger but STILL freaking nightmare from hell here.

I sincerely hope that was much less time-intensive than it looks. (Already assuming all images are simply copied & edited from prior strips.)
I feel for ya, Hubris. I sincerely do.
As to crossing digits, will do, buty iot makews uirt haqrd to tuyp[e.
Only someone who’s been there could draw that.
“Do or do not. There is no try, Chunkybutt!”
>sigh<
That could have been written just for me!
I may embroider it on a sampler! Or something.
It’s tattooed on the inside of my brain.
Greg, reprinted from yesterday, in case you see this today.
I got something I hope will cheer you up, when you have net access again.

Bad dream — or memory montage?
Remember, Starbucks has internet and public bathrooms. Oh, and they sell coffee too.
Remember, the 2 are NOT mutually exclusive.
Sorry — that was supposed to be a ‘Reply’ to [Green Darkness]…
…my bad.
I hate driving and everyone in my town is an idiot. Who willingly walks into a tight area next to a car that is in motion?

The do or do not, there is no try, chunky butt. needs to be a sticker.
