Paste would be better at the insults, but his professionalism won’t allow for such low behavior now.
But he’s gonna need to get another flunky for insults. Bob doesn’t reeeaaaaally know how they work.

Okay, so if you saw this cartoon in, say, Swedish… and you don’t speak Swedish, what would you think it’d be about?
Squint until you can’t read it, only see the pictures. Or walk way back from the computer ’til the words are too small to read.
I like these kinds of cartoons. The action is mildly entertaining, and yet has nothing particular to do with what’s being said.
It’s like a flashback to the Skippy cartoons of the 1930s when Skippy and his li’l pal would be flying down the hill on their cobbled together wagon and you knew there was a crash coming but that’s not what Skippy was talking about. Those were great, weren’t they?
Contrast. That’s what this strip needs every week or two. A little contrast in storytelling style. Right?
When I went through last year’s cartoons to pick out twelve to put in for consideration in the National Cartoonist Society’s Reuben Awards Division, I realized that Hubris is more Long-Form than it used to be. I entered us in the Short Form Online Cartoon Division, but it was hard to pull out twelve cartoons that stood alone as funny without needing another cartoon to complete the thought or gag. Now, I’ve noticed that I’ve used Clem’s voice to leave us at cliffhangers instead of punchlines, for instance.
Maybe next year, I’ll enter Hubris in the Long-Form comics division.
I don’t know if it’s true everywhere, but around here, it’s the nervous new kids that wind up saying they’re going to be snipers during paintball games. What that means is, they’re going to run to the closest hiding spot behind a wall and they’re going to plink away at anything they see moving. And there will always be those guys who try to take charge and start calling out orders while doing the hand jive like you see cartoon characters do when they’re parodying Schwarzeneggar movies. The problem is that there’s usually more than one of those guys in a team, so the team splits up and the disparate parts wind up shooting at each other at some point.
