I don’t know who’s realized it, but Dusty isn’t particularly nice. In front of the camera, hosting her TV show- yeah, she’s bright and effusive and all that, but otherwise… I dunno. Secretly, I think she chuckles when she squishes bugs.
I picture the crowd at this point starting to do the stomping and clapping thing that begins the Queen song “We are the Champions”
There’s just that kinda nervous energy in the air, isn’t there?
I like P.G. Wodehouse’s stories when Bertie Wooster describes how Jeeves just is there or just is not there- comparing him to “One of those Eastern Johnnies who focus themselves out of one place only to appear halfway across the country a moment later” or something like that. I’m too lazy to look it up.
Anyhow, I think Hubris’s psychology must dovetail with the skillz required pretty well. I mean- if you can get the ‘thumbs up’ from Bob on your ability to dematerialize, you’re doing it properly.
I couldn’t wedge everyone in here, but a bunch of us are pictured! I’ll have to get some more of Team Hubris pictured soon to fill out the whole roster.
As the night draws in, Hubris is getting cagey.
When everyone is looking for you, though, where do you go?
And when you’ve got an event to announce, where do you go?!
Ya go to the mic.
You’d already thought about setting fire to those hay bales, hadn’t you?
Admit it.
I mean, I can’t be the ONLY one that thought of how that’d look…
If you’re going to be outraged by someone else’s behavior, it’s usually best to either:
You can’t do both, and which one you pick depends on what kind of personality you are, and what kind of personality the people you browbeat are.
Kara said she needed to talk to somebody. I guess she was just being methodical deciding who it was she’d talk to?
What’s nice, of course, is that the last person she decided to talk to is an expert in such things, and had wine. It would have been difficult on Kara to have to circle back to someone else as the best choice.
Or start talking to utter strangers, hoping that they had wine. THOSE conversations get weird.
Ziggy Foote is a big guy, and he gets noticed a lot.
That other fella, though… where the heck did he come from? Has he been here the whole time?
Oops.
In an attempt to get farther ahead on my schedule so that I can post comics early to Patreon patrons, I omitted to load this one up for the regular site! Not the first time that trying a new schedule just wrecked my old schedule.
Ah, well… Have a cartoon!
