Clem Twang can tell you- poetry and the great outdoors don’t always jibe. The outdoors is sloppy and dirty and slightly prickly and can change at the speed of, well, lightning, for that matter. Poetry, on the other hand, is lyrical and specific and edited and focused. And it rarely gives you a rash, or a bite on the ankle.
Everyone’s happy to know that Hubris doesn’t actually sleep in those weird outdated polo shirts, right?
Hubris has a drawer full of those shirts, and by golly, the especially torn-up ones would be good for PJs, wouldn’t they? Maybe tear the buttons off the collar. I dunno.
You know I’m not just assuming he owns torn-up ones. I’ve drawn a few into the strip over the years.
You can read people’s minds in comic strips. We’re accustomed to it. We know that when words are contained within lumpy clouds that the words aren’t spoken aloud.
I watched ‘Young Frankenstein’ with my youngest kid yesterday. It was his first time seeing it, and I became more attentive to what was onscreen knowing that. I was pretty amazed at how much dialogue could be cut from that film because you could read the thoughts of the actors written, not in floating bubbles over their heads, but right there on their faces. It was great.
And then there’s Bob. I like Bob, but I’m thinking there may not be as much thinking going on as those around him might suppose.
We’ll see.
I thought it had been long enough between Lowell appearances. Maybe you could have guessed what he was doing?
I want to tell you, it’s very strange to pull my head back out of 2013 and the OutdoorFest. The book is uploaded and I’m waiting on the service to tell me it’s good to go. But it’s been, I dunno, kinda heartwarming to have fallen back into that story. Now, after three solid days of not seeing much else but the Outdoorfest, on top of all the fill-in cartoons that’ve been running here, to jump back to the current story is a little jarring.
But not for long. I got plans for everyone.
Welcome back to the Now, and I hope you have a taste for the Ol’ Outdoorfest soon.
