Clem Twang had mixed reviews on GoComics.com. Some people got fed up with him quickly, while others enjoyed trying to untangle his monologues.
Here we go again.

Here’s one of your extra comics! Sorry it took so long. I’ve got a couple more written and penciled, and I’ll get to them as quickly as I can.
Of course, if you’re surprised by this message, you might want to hit the ‘back’ button and make sure you haven’t missed one.
I remember hearing, years ago, that it was difficult to keep skillful writers on comic books that had large groups in them- Avengers, X-Men, that kind of thing. Something to do with keeping the different voices true and making sure everyone was involved and heroics were showcased in a balanced manner. Easy to mess up.
I know what they mean.
When I was a cub scout leader, we made a rule. The rule was made after a few long, rambling, directionless campfire stories.
The rule saved our sanities.
The rule was this:
“When you say, “And Then…”, the story is over.”
It was in important rule, as it taught the boys not to volunteer to tell a story they didn’t have. The rule was created after a story much like this one:
“There was this guy. And he was walking down a dark road. He was next to a graveyard. …And then, a dragon rose up out of the graveyard, and then… the guy fought the dragon, and then… there was a huge fire, and then… everything in the world caught fire and everyone died. And then…uh… there were these people…”
It wasn’t the first story of its kind. But the ‘And Then’ rule was hailed as a life-saving stroke of genius, not only because kids thought up the ends of the stories before they started trying to tell them, but it was HILARIOUS listening to young storytellers working very very hard NOT to say, “And Then…”
Ladies and Gentlemen, Here comes Bluto.
Bluto’s “owner”, it has now been decided, is named Cthula Hanna Belle-Lechter. Cthula to her friends.
Your fine suggestions made it very difficult to make the final decision. I took inspiration from several suggestions, along with my own storytelling devices. You’ll see what I mean as we go.
I think I’ve decided on a tangled skein of storytelling that you guys won’t unravel too quickly. You wish me luck, I’ll wish you luck.
So- I’ve got another Patreon Patron to send stuff to. Thanks for clicking on the Patreon button and/or the ‘You and Hubris’ button and making Hubris continue!
I’ve got the final story arc in mind, but I don’t want to get to it within the next five years or so. Everything you guys do staves off that last big story.
Also, gonna be at HeroesCon in Charlotte in May. Feel free, if you can make it to Charlotte, to come by and visit a bit! Or more than a bit. That’d be cool. I hope to have the Stanky Creek Book by then. Cross your fingers.
Happy March! Spring is on the way. And Daylight Savings Time. And allergy season.
Don’t you love this time of year. Once we get a little past this part, then it’s tax season, with all its festivities.
Ohhhh, I just depressed myself.
