I, for one, applaud their sentiments and their methods. They’re good kids, and after the skin grafts, they’ll be happy people again, knowing they were being socially responsible.
Or something.

Leave it to the socially deviously responsible folks of the OutdoorFest to figure out how to get people to go pick up their stuff in a timely manner.
Over on Patreon, I told a couple of anecdotes about how my friends (and I- I’m not blameless) have made wildly stupid attempts to burn up unwanted camping gear. In the campfire. Which doesn’t really get hot enough to burn up an old broken styrofoam cooler and an old sleeping bag.
Here, I’ll just point out that Dusty and Durnell’s TV production companies did NOT want to pony up the bucks it’d cost for cleanup, and did what any responsible company would do. Got local government to pony up. Not to worry. Probably came out of the ‘Tourism and Travel” and “Media Encouragement” budgets.
Peter Enis knows his tropes! How many TV shows and movies have used this simple, yet irritating, setup? About a thousandth of the Soap Operas that have used the one of people overhearing the exact plot point they shouldn’t/should hear while loitering just out of sight. Enis needs to set THAT one up soon.
Junkyard Jenga.
When Dusty’s and Durnell’s shows air, most of the screen will have to be obscured with the lawyer words “DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME”.
I wonder how many times those guys from the “Jackass” TV show and movies got sued when people tried to roller-skate in a buffalo herd or high-wire over an alligator pit with bits of chicken hanging from their jockey shorts
Paste knows how to show gratitude.
And he knows how to show contempt.
And he shows them both with love.
Aaaaaall at the same time.
Anyone will tell you. If you want to sign contracts, you need to make sure you have your backpack all squared away first. Can’t be splitting your attention between interpreting all those ‘wherefore’s and ‘hereafter referred to’s and worrying about whether you packed the T.P. in the top pouch or if its under the cookware.
An orderly mind is a happy mind.
Paste is settling into his role as ‘casually callous celebrity’ (CCC) pretty well, isn’t he?
And Lowell seems to be settling into another role entirely. Very fulfilling, I’m sure.
Paste is where he wants to be. Nikki is where she needs to be, so Hubris absconded and went where he needed to be, right?
“All in their places with bright shining faces”
Wow. In the short time that I flip-flopped the way Hubris cartoons load (because of the GoComics restructure) I’m two weeks ahead of Hubriscomics at Patreon. It feels very weird.
When Hubris started running at GoComics, I had maybe three months of backlog between here and there. I whittled it down to three weeks or so by the end. I’m glad the two didn’t wind up simultaneous. That would have gone sideways, I’m sure.
Now, this main site is being subsidized by the Patreon site, so the lead time there is growing. Not something I foresaw when I decided to keep cranking out Hubris for a few more years, to be sure. Webcomics are odd beasts, but more fun than a barrel full of monkeys… at an OutdoorFest.
I think Dusty might have spent the previous evening mentally spending that ‘Consultant’ fee while not dealing with lighting engineers and interviewees.
Oh, you don’t wanna scorn a woman who’s made a career out of beating up wildebeests and savanna monitor lizards who’re trying to do her a bodily injury whilst the camera man says to stand a little closer to them.
Speaking of which, remind me to dig out the photo of me and a freakin’ bald eagle that my wife took right after she said, “See if she’ll let you put your arm around her!”
Damn eagles.
