Boom. There you go. Bet ya didn’t see that coming.
I’m guessing, because I’m writing this four days in advance. Some of you may have guessed ‘skatepark’.
Others may have guessed stuff I wish I had thought of, in which case… Next time, I need you to submit your ideas written in script form two weeks prior to the date the comic is intended to run. I can’t read minds, people.
Well, push has finally come to shove. Anyone ready to finally figure out what’s in the basement?
Let’s hear all your best speculation.
I warn you, though. I’ve already drawn the next couple of strips, and I’m not changing them, even if you have really, really funny ideas. The plot’s in place already.
I guess what I’m saying is, I’m really happy if you want to guess. Very gratified if you will, to be sure.
But try not to come up with something better than what’s already on paper, willya?
I thought I might have something to say here about a number of things… Writing long story arcs, panels with closeups, the fact that Randy the River Guide is a real person, backgrounds that are photos vs backgrounds that are drawn vs backgrounds that are random colors…
But really, I wanted to ask- Has anyone heard anything out of Allan VS? I went mostly off the grid for a couple of weeks (and it occurs to me now that I have a couple of emails asking me why I haven’t replied to something on Facebook. As I haven’t answered the emails yet, much less the Facebook posts, heaven knows I’m behind the times) and I came back to discover that he hasn’t been commenting… and with my abysmal memory, I can’t recall when he posted last. And with my even more abysmal laziness, I haven’t looked it up either. So you guys- anyone know what’s up with Brother Allan?
Despite the lack of online activity and all the character defects, I would like to point out that I got all four comic strips out this week. Just for you guys. And Allan, wherever he is.
I apologize to anyone who would appreciate me providing Hubris in multiple languages.
The apology is firstly for the fact that Paste’s dialogue must be very difficult to make heads or tails of if English is not your first language, and secondly that I didn’t study enough of any other language to be able to make Paste speak poorly in them, too.
Okay, back to the brush and ink that we’re used to here at Hubris.
Wooo! Some of you may have noticed my relative silence in the comments lately… the last couple of weeks or so.
There has been a lot going on, but the upshot is that I’ve been out of town for a while.
All of last week’s cartoons were prepared well in advance, for a change. I colored and uploaded them on my laptop while in St Louis, not having had time to complete them before I left on vacation. Then I was more or less out of touch completely for a week solid. Sunday was a 12 hour drive to finally get back home. I realized Saturday, in Dodge City, that I’d better get started on this comic, or it wouldn’t post on time at all.
So today’s cartoon was done in the computer from a scanned-in pencil layout.
I think I still prefer my ol’ brushes.
I’ll post some photos and stuff of the Ocoee trip I made a couple of weeks ago and of the Rocky Mountain trip I just finished. But I suppose I should finish posting the photos from Charlotte HeroesCon first.
It’s been a busy month.
