Day three? Where was the other day? i caught one full day of festivities unless you count the all night swamp crawl as starting one day and ending the next, as making the count 3 days…
Day 1… Team “US” did the adventure race.
Night 1… there was all the dark scenes, and
Day 2… Hubris and Lowell both nekkid
Night 2… Hubris not getting his newspaper
Day 3… announcements that you never want to hear.
No, the announcements you never wanted to hear were back a couple days ago, regarding bad fish flax bars and non-working porta potties. Today’s announcements are the ones that precede Fear Factor, and are exactly what this crowd has been waiting for…
I have been at events that had worse ones than that. This batch was pretty benign though I like the one about the cops hating the paperwork so knock it off in their sight…
The ‘First Day’ was the opening festivities and the beginning of the Swamp Race. Believe it or not, the insane amount of time since then has covered one solid day, and now we’re starting day three. Here we GOOOOO!
BTW Greg … re-reading the comic – I’m surprised you put panel 2 in.
It’s extremely rare for a cartoonist to mention Faith, Religion or God anymore.
The comics I see do it, are usually the ‘less read’ ones, except those that are repeats, like For Better or For Worse (who does Christmas and Easter) and Peanuts (always has a Christmas, and has their amazing Christmas Cartoon on TV).
Wizard of Id is a rarity as they do a new Christmas one each year.
So … I’m glad you tossed that in. BTW, I’d be one of those leading a worship service – probably not much … maybe a laptop connected to a TV and a semi-decent speaker system, playing music with words, and saying prayers for Christian (protestant) people… maybe even the Eucharist…
Thanks for not berating me for having a little religion in a comic strip, then. When I first started working with Scott Stantis, he liked to do Sunday cartoons with crazy things his kids did in church- he figured that was appropriate. After a while, he got tired of li’l ol’ ladies giving him trouble about it, not because they weren’t religious, or even that they weren’t Christian- they were. People wrote him to say it was wrong to have church mentioned in a forum reserved for humor.
Bottom line- it doesn’t matter what you do or say, you WILL be attacked by people for being too much one way and others for being too much another. For the same cartoon. You can’t please everyone at all points, and you can’t displease everyone at the same point. Just the way we is, folks!
I’ve done lots of shows, conventions, weekend events, and there would be someone doing something faithwise if you had a weekend day in there (or a solstice). Just another event going on. You’re just being real, Greg.
I haven’t finished figuring out what to do about the raffle. It was a side note that’s gotten out of hand. I thought we’d be on li’l red wagon races by now.
That is a tricky question, isn’t it. Hubris has sold his entire stock, so the clear choices would either be to use the profit to buy up whatever Ed Honcho brought and raffle that, or to get rid of the fish flax bars (must be a couple cases of those still left unsold…)
He probably still has bikes, kayaks, climbing gear, skateboards… heck he even has a unicycle. If he’s desperate…. (he has been past that point already, heck he was in a buff and kayak skirt for part of day 2)
Durnell: “Hubris, I thought I covered Paste with all the stuff about psychopaths…”
Nope. No conscience provider.
A good pantsing never hurt anyone.

I love it! I wish I could be part of an event like this–then again, after the flax bars, maybe not…
Shouldn’t be de-pantsed? As in remove?
Probably, but the English language has its perversities. Pantsed is pantsed.
God.. I want to BE at this fest…
wait.. I kinda am.. aren’t I??
Hey I’m there, Greg had me sticking duct tape on cardboard! 😀

Considering my hobby and alter ego.. I have to applaud you for having the guts to do anything other than vanilla.
What raffle? What are they giving away? Can I enter?
I haven’t finished figuring out what to do about the raffle. It was a side note that’s gotten out of hand. I thought we’d be on li’l red wagon races by now.

Fish flax bars? *shudder*
I hear they work good as sasquatch repellent.
Hubris sold his entire CLOTHING stock.
He probably still has bikes, kayaks, climbing gear, skateboards… heck he even has a unicycle. If he’s desperate…. (he has been past that point already, heck he was in a buff and kayak skirt for part of day 2)
