So, there’s a podcast called ‘Comics Alternative’, with the requisite website and Facebook page and it’s available on iTunes. By all means, check ’em out! Their latest podcast has their review of this very webcomic. I’m flattered that the hosts took the time to level their expert eyes on Hubris. I will admit that they framed out a lot of perfectly true things about Hubris and how my background influences the way its produced. They also seem to have a good bead on some design decisions that have been made about backgrounds over time. Over all, they were pretty complimentary about Hubris, I guess. Meaning they didn’t say anything nasty or unwarranted, or maybe that they said things that flattered me because… well, YOU guys know why. You all come back and read every cartoon, and you usually have some pretty shrewd guesses as to where things are going story-wise. It’s flattering when someone reads what you do and takes the time and energy to understand it all the way through.
Fun! Check out Comics Alternative!
Nothing wrong with ‘whatever it takes’.
My spouse went skiing with work friends at Copper Mountain on a Superbowl Sunday. I said I’d see how he did before committing to taking up skiing. He did great until the last 200 yards to the lodge, hit some weird snow and ripped out a knee. I had had to work and just got home from 12 hours to have the guys show up and they sent the nicest personality up to inform me they had hubby in the car and I had to take him into the ER. 8 hours later he was in bed full of happy pills and I had to go to work 2 hours from then… he never skied again and I will never, sorry. He still has knee troubles almost 30 years later…
I’d much rather someone had sold my hubby the fake-it kit, really. Hubris doing a public service, I CAN relate.
Now that’s love, AND self-honesty.
Congrats, Greg!
Does that mean we all get free cake?
Gratz greg
And that really shows hubris big heart there
He understands the problem as he goes through a variant of it and helps instead of taking advantage of the guy or worse mocking him
We need more guys like him in life me thinks
It always floors me, the depth you put into a silly comic about pratfalls. Breathing life into a comic character is hard enough. Making the character a multi layered persona is simply good writing. Making the reader feel like they are missing out, because they only get five minutes a day with a friend.. is a masterpiece.
Bravisimo.
THIS is why Outdoor Galore is THE BEST store in the world.

I think Kara was on the mark. Certainly Hubris reads his customers well.
