You gotta be careful what you say.
What sounds like a general invitation to jump into a mud pit… who’s gonna forego that?

Erich’s back in true form. He’s tough, y’know. Got that European attitude locked in.
Those auto-brake harness things… those are pretty nice. Keeps you from worrying if the person belaying you at floor level is paying attention or not.
Never seen them at an actual climbing gym, just at theme parks. I guess that’s not a good sign, right?
PS. I had to go back and fix Friday’s cartoon because, as some of you pointed out, he apparently took off his harness. Well, he DIDN’T, but I was out of my mind or something and didn’t draw the dang thing.
Also PS. If you go back to THURSDAY’s cartoon, the other two versions of Troy’s Dash cartoon are there in the blog section, and you can adjudge if I was right to think of the wordless one as the primary cartoon.
I believe that stick-to-it-ive-ness was important to ol’ Billy Bob, here. Rather than try to salvage his score by backing down the ladder and trying the challenge front-way-’round, he persevered.
And in the same way that your average fourteen year old will try to bring in all the groceries in one trip from the car and wind up breaking the eggs, the pickle jar, and leaving most of a gallon of milk spreading on the front stoop, Billy Bob is gonna leave some things broken that were better left intact, and better left for a second run.
Those harnesses… they bunch up whatever you’re wearing, you know.
And sorta squish and squash things into… shapes.
Not something you want to inspect closely, I reckon.
Hubris figures there’s no reason to burden the nice crowd with extra information they’ll never need.
You’d have done the same, right?
There’s always somebody at the very back of any race.
I know, ’cause sometimes… It’s me.
I’ve given it some thought.
I’d never want to have a second-day-of-the-fest porta potty knocked onto me by a giant cranky bird. That’s what I decided.
This comic hearkens back to one a few days ago- remember?
Normally, I assume you guys remember every little thing in the strip. Heaven knows that experience bears that out.
So, in a few weeks, we need to watch the Gocomics.com people and their comments. I get it- I mean, they don’t just read Hubris, but seem to read dozens of comics every morning, I guess.
But in the 09-10 gocomics Hubris cartoon (the one where he’s sleeping in the store on the first night of the Fest) one commenter said, “Why is he sleeping in the store?” and of course I thought, “Because I just said in another strip that he would be…”
But the ‘another strip’ had been a while back and for someone who reads a lot of random gocomics every morning, she can’t be expected to recall everything Hubris offhandedly says.
Even if I want her to.
And it’s 9-11 today here in the States. The day when either the sort of thing you’d been vaguely dreading actually happened, or the kind of thing you never thought could ever happen here, did.
You didn’t suppose you were the only ones that noticed how strange the crowd at the Fest are, did you? Noooo… Durnell noticed.
