Seems a shame to do all this planning and then have the people upon whom the whole thing hinges drop the ball. Don’t these grunts know how the management team feels about planning sessions?

It’s been a while since we saw ol’ Funzo. I had to pull out the old Stanky Creek book to see the outfit again. I had forgotten the backpack.
There was a podcast a while back where the hosts talked about Hubriscomics.com. One of the things they said was that I was still kinda trying to do a gag-a-day feature, but that’d make it hard to put the whole thing together into a book later.
And the practical upshot is that sometimes, the cartoons advance the story without having a punchline.
I try to minimize that, of course, but here we are again.
For those of you who like that little storytelling, human spark… you’re welcome. For those of you who wanted to see Paste electrocute himself with an RV’s hydrogen cell and poo his pants… I’ll try to work that in later sometime. Or not. It sounds nasty.
Every so often, it’s good to have a character express his humanity- to take a moment to be vulnerable and be able to admit it.
If you know people like Paste, you know they only do that when they’re yanking your chain. The unexamined life might, according to old wisdom, not be worth living… but it can certainly have a place in the comics.
You nearly got a black and white cartoon today. I went back to play Boatball (think sandlot kayak polo) today, and gosh, loading up boats and gear, then driving a half hour to the lake where the game is, then playing the game til the sun starts to set and then packing away, driving home (and stopping off for dinner) eats up a lot of time I usually try to burn up making Hubris.
On the other hand, I’ll have some photos of boatball to show you guys at some point.
That may not be the ‘other hand’. It might just be part of the first hand.
What does Mal sound like in your head? In mine, he’s got a very nasal, unusually deep voice for someone his size. Until he’s upset and on the phone, when his voice takes on a hysterical, hectoring, high pitch.
I can see how architects and interior designers would really like the opportunity to just noodle around on rooms as though they had all the time in the world.
That first panel was kinda fun.
Woo. You almost got this update in black and white.
Some days, you just can’t plan what time you get to things. You ever notice that?
