The passing of the red hat.
These strips have run at the Patreon page already and incited a few comments about the End Of The Strip.
It’s not. I’m creating a crux or a cusp in order to re-set some of the players here. You’ll see.
I like this cartoon, though. If things WERE winding down for real, this’d be a hot one.
Durnell knows better than to leave a sparkly shiny hat just lying around in a large crowd of people.
Unfortunately, the large crowd of people is filled with normal, everyday lunatics who may or may not know that it’s not okay to run off with a sparkly hat because there’s a Crazyball game starting up.
Anyone wanna come up with a good ‘Crazyball’ chant or song or catchphrase or shout or something? I think we need one of those.
Us guys with little protection on the roof gotta learn that not every hat can serve to keep off the sunburn. Ask the poor dude who shaves his head for the first time, dons a trucker’s cap, and goes to the ballgame that afternoon.
Ouch.
How many of you have wondered what AllanVS actually looks like? Well, now you know. And knowing is half the battle.
Here, our model Allan is sporting a bootleg Hubris hat. It’s pretty cool, and I expect that many people see him wearing it and want a Hubris hat of their own.
For those of you who are not as energetic about it as Allan, I’ll be doing hats in the next few weeks. I’ll let you know.
Here are Lizzie and Zoe modeling the new HUBRIS hats. Stylish, no? You, too, can be like a cute kid and have a HUBRIS hat! They’re 100% acrylic, so they don’t get all drippy with sweat and rain and stay stylish so long as you don’t put them in the dryer. They have nice embroidery on them that makes full use of the texture to the hat to spell out the name of your favorite webcomic! Or, if you prefer, you can announce to the world that you, yourself, are full of hubris- if you’re into that sort of thing. I don’t have them in the Outdoor Galore Store just yet, so contact/email me through the buttons marked ‘contact’ or ’email’ found here on this very site, and for twelve U.S.bucks (slightly more if you’re overseas, as seen from the U.S.) I’ll drop one in the mail to you. Look in the envelope when it arrives- likely I’ll toss in a sticker, too.
So I went to the National Cartoonist Society’s Reuben awards this past weekend. Part of the goody bags (totes filled with books, pens, catalogs, drink cozy, pins, shirts, etc.) is the HAT. You had your choice this year of Navy or Pink Hat. My wife and I both took Navy hats. Later during the conference, I noticed that there were still a lot of pink hats left. So I had an idea and asked for another hat. Pink, please. Then went around asking hotshots to autograph it. Of course, I put my official NCS pin on it and a Hubris sticker, just to kick-start the thing.
I’ve got Mr. Biner pegged as a particular type… The kind of guy who can’t break his own rules, who can’t stand looking at anyone being silly, and who isn’t going to spend a lot of time working out compromise. He’s an amalgam of a lot of people I’ve met over the years… and if you’ve met folks like that, well, I guess you think he’s pretty funny. If you ARE folks like that, well, I guess you can’t stand reading THIS website.
