Anybody got a guess? I can’t even tell you who sent it in. It’d be a giveaway.

Let's see... That's Jason at the far left, then Jaden, then Mac in the yellow helmet, Gideon in the purple, Cory in the blue helmet, Dr.Sonny in the white shirt, and Jonah making the 'fun!' face
Took the kids to my favorite river a few weeks ago. They got to raft The Ocoee River, and we were there for our Old Timer’s Kayak Trip. The kids can’t conceive it, of course, but their moms and dads used to go to this river every second or third weekend to kayak. Now, we’re all older and the kids’ schedules (not to mention all the other stuff that the years lay at your feet) dictate that we can’t just run off to the river all the time. It’s a seven hour drive, after all. At my peak driving capabilities, that was nothin’. And, if my plans work out and I attend a few conventions with my Hubris Roadshow, then my driving skills will again be honed to a fine edge. Oh, the places that life takes us… or returns us to. With our kids.
For you who tune in for extra cartooning or funny stories or weird photos of stickers- Thank you! I hope folks get something out of the blog-type extras I put on here. Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays are off-content days and I’m pretty lazy about when I do the updates. Mornings. Usually. It’s chill. If you’d like to complain that I don’t update the odd content days the evening beforehand, please say so! I just get the sense that folks don’t scroll down the page regularly looking at the non-Hubris content.
Today’s content is another ad for the Hubris Book! Click HERE and you can order yours.
If, however, you’d rather have something a bit more specialicious, then here’s my offer- From the stack of books I have here in my hot little hands- I will send you a book upon which I will autograph something to you particularly, along with a cute li’l sketch of whoever I psychically observe you would most benefit from having a sketch of, a couple of stickers (square or round, depending on what I have left at the moment) and, let’s say, a pencil original from a Hubris strip. I do the pencil work on one page and the ink work on a whole different sheet. I can’t bring myself to just toss the pencil pages, so this looks like a great way to unload ’em on you guys. All this for a horrific price. No, I don’t want your firstborn. I have one of my own already and who the heck wants two firstborn? It messes up the line of succession. No, I’d rather have $23.50 in U.S. dollars from you. Yes, that’s far more expensive than the ones at the link above. It’s kind of a scam. Here I am scrawling in a perfectly good book, ruining the spine by jamming extra junk in there, and charging you more for it. It’s a sickness. I’m setting up credit card stuff now, and trying to learn how PayPal works, but if you want to mail a check, just say the word and I’ll tell you where to send it. (click on the email button or contact buttons scattered amongst the pages here at the site) or just email me at hubris@comcast dot net. These may make good Christmas gifts, assuming your recipients aren’t too picky.
Some of you guys are kind enough to take time to click on the Vote Hubris button over there on the right. I have to admit that for the first few months, when it was me and maybe one or two other people consistently clicking to vote, the numbers weren’t very entertaining. Thanks to Allan VS (regular reader and Team Hubris lieutenant, I guess) motivating folks to take the time, and thanks especially to those who answered the call, Hubris has broken 1000 votes this month– something I hadn’t expected to see so quickly. It puts Hubris way up in the top 100, where more readers are likely to come and share the Hubris experience with us.
So- Thanks, everyone! I really appreciate it! And if you don’t usually vote, but don’t mind giving it a whirl, click HERE. The voting resets at the beginning of each month, so tune in often to see how we’re doing.
Feeling boring today, folks. You get some old gag cartoons. There were done at different times with different people, different tools, and different markets in mind.
