And so our hero sets out on new adventures in other places.
There’s no telling when we’ll get to swing back around to his doings.
But as the comic strip is named for him, I suspect it won’t be, like, forever.

So- here’s last month’s calendar image.
The calendars went out to Patreon patrons who are at the tiers where ya gotta input your mailing address.
I thought you guys would like to see it too.
Stress is plentiful. There’s more than enough for everyone, and many of us have more than our fair share.
So it’s right that someone, somewhere, has none. It’s gotta average out somehow. One day, the person whose turn it is to be totally stress free-will then get stressed anyway. And that, my friends, is the beginning of the end.
And if that last stress-free soul is a raccoon, well sirs and madams, we were really, really overstressed.
I’m not sure Jimmy is quick to allow that anyone, even Self Proclaimed Management, is higher on the ladder of command than he is.
I’m not sure Jimmy wouldn’t have told a customer to go make the coffee while he went to turn on the lights.
I imagine Jimmy saying “&%*$ needs doing, and you’re standing around. You want the ^%$@ badminton set? Make some coffee while the lights and the register gets turned on! &%*$ needs doing, do some &%*$!!”
You know how Paste comes up with all this clever stuff where he’s one step ahead of someone?
It’s because he doesn’t burn up time with other things. Reading. Personal Grooming. Laundry. Cleaning. Grocery shopping.
Of course, he cut out other stuff, too… Family time. TV time. Videogame time.
See what you can get done when it’s all entirely about YOU?
Genius.
Poor Hubris! All retired from day-to-day working and already can’t tell what day it might be.
‘Cause, y’know, it’s important to know what day it is when you’re hanging out in the woods with furry friends.
Or was that ‘season’ it is?
I can’t remember.
I think we can all agree that Dusty did not plan for this moment.
I’ve always pictured Dusty as a petty schemer who doesn’t scheme past the bit where everyone is impressed with whatever the current scheme turned out to be. She leaves the stuff that comes after to sort itself out.
I think I might have the same failing.
I also think that phrase is difficult to say for people like Dusty, who believe themselves to be singular and very, very “special”.
But I could be wrong. Dusty could just be an angry boss who likes the paycheck better than the work.
Well, it seems that those who play together, stand in line to get band-aids together!
People in the middle of a fun weekend don’t wanna go running off to the doctor’s office.
People who need medical attention rarely want to go to work Monday morning, though.
It’s just logic.
Oh, it’s always like this, isn’t it? You take a new job, and it’s never quite what you were expecting.
You figured the boss would show up, and that you’d be welcomed by the other employees… and instead, you wind up standing in a parking lot with some dodgy looking stains here and there, and keeping an eye on the dodgy looking van (it might BE a dodge- can’t tell past the rust) parked all by itself next to the single light pole in the lot, and having to call and wake up the boss, and find that the new employees never heard of you… Oh, it’s all great fun and adventurous.
The sun is up on a new day, and now it’s time that someone create order from the chaos that is the new iteration of the Outdoor Galore Store.
Shall it be the Alpha male businessman with the money behind him? The MBA with a knack for bumbling where he needs to bumble? The corporate shark with her steely gaze and determination to carve the world into a shape that suits her? The Alpha male upstart kid with a knack for understanding people and motivations without understanding that he has a knack?
It’ll probably be Nikki, who’s just looking for some job security, y’know?
