This one came about after I went to the local outdoor place to finally get another good pair of hikers. I asked the guy what was the strangest thing that’d happened while he was working. I’ll have to remember to go in there every time I need another gag.
Whether you’re a mountain biker or a road biker, you may come and be welcome in the House of Hubris. Unicyclers, BMXers, Cruisers, Commuters… maybe not those recumbent things… Well, okay, them too. Yes, The Outdoor Galore Store is like some kind of Unitarian Bicycle Temple or something.
Don’t you looooove talking to those people who have recently become obsessed?
Poor Lowell. It’s hard to be proud of your accomplishments before you make them.
Here’s a nice video of the sort of thing that Hubris is fooling around with.
I used to be baffled by people who put their bikes on cars and went somewhere to ride them. Why not, I thought in my fourteen-year-old’s experience, ride your bike THERE and then see it, and ride HOME. That silly idea (like most silly assumptions we make) stuck with me until I discovered that clearing the first twenty miles out of the way left more time to enjoy the actual ride at the destination. My wife taught me that. Then I took it where I wanted, and the destinations became less about what interesting part of town, or another person’s interesting town, than about riding a piece of dirt that you REALLY REALLY enjoy but wouldn’t want to ride to on a bet because the car drivers around here are dumb as dirt. But that’s another story. Or maybe three.
Remember starting a new habit or hobby? You get nervous about how much or how little preparation you need? Maybe you start running, and no one’s told you that you dress for the SECOND mile. Maybe you’re going to join a boot camp workout and you don’t realize that you SHOULDN’T have breakfast before you trot out in the pre-dawn to lift weights and do crunches. So here’s Lowell, starting a new and healthy life… and camping out on Hubris’ doorstep so he doesn’t miss the alarm clock. If you have something to add about the whole ‘new hobby’ thing, you let me know. I’ll try to write it in if possible.
Don’t you hate those people who keep asking for favors like that? By the way, could you ‘Vote Hubris’ over there on the right for me? Thanks.
I’m a morning person. I get cranky and unreasonable at an unreasonably early hour. It makes hitting the new deadlines on Hubris sorta… tricky.
Anyhow, are you getting the @hubriscomics tweets? Maybe you should.
There’s not much to say about this cartoon. We’re just setting the stage for the new storyline. So, this is where I burn space asking everyone to 1) spread the word about Hubris and 2) click on some stuff there to the right. Vote, and Google+ and you might Twitter your favorite Hubris cartoon out to all your followers. Join us on Facebook. StumbleUpon. Reddit.
Where would you like me to boost for Hubris? Are you on any social media you’d like Hubris to show up in?
Cue the organ music. DUAH DAH DAAAAAAAHHHHHHH! There you go. End of one day, beginning of the next. New storyline next week. Pow.
