Oh, Gosh. I seem to be a week late on my cartoon all of a sudden.
Sorry about that, guys!

I’ve probably never been good at taking advice. Jimmy Johnson, who creates the comic strip ‘Arlo N Janis’ gave me the advice to go into boat cabinetry.
Mostly, I think, because he sorta wishes he had gone into boat cabinetry.
If you want MY advice, go into real estate. It’ll suck, and be less fulfilling than telling a ten-year long story about lunatics, but the money is great.
That, or boat cabinetry, which I hear is very fulfilling if you like boats.
I’m working on a comic book for a small, new publisher. It’s a fun project, and it’s one I didn’t write, so that’s extra exciting. But it’s time consuming. I’ll post a link to it when it’s time, and see if you guys are interested in a comic book about a ninja.
So… how many mirrors in YOUR car? And if you had to get one of them out of there to hold up next to a possibly dead guy’s mouth, could you?
One of you guys said the third time’s the charm… or something like that, right?
Sound effects are great, aren’t they? Hey, did anyone ever look at all the old MAD magazine Don Martin cartoons where he had such great sound effects? That guy was great. I never got the chance to meet him, which is probably good. I’d have gushed. Or ‘Fl’Gursht’ or something.
I remember one, when MAD did one of their square bound super specials, where they had a set of stickers in the magazine. All the stickers were stamp-style Don Martin sound effect cartoons. Brilliant. I believe, though, that the “Poit!” sticker had a drawing of a woman’s breast springing from it’s safe space within her undergarments. My buddy Jon got his copy of MAD taken away because of that.
I blame Nick Meglin.
“Run.”
It’s not a difficult concept, and yet, when told to do it, don’t you sort of expect more information. I do, anyhow. You know, like, “Run! Bear!” There’s worlds more information, there.
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 can see how architects and interior designers would really like the opportunity to just noodle around on rooms as though they had all the time in the world.
That first panel was kinda fun.
It’s amazing what people will do, for the li’l hospital kids.
For anyone who doesn’t get Patreon emails- The packs for new patrons went out. And for all the patrons that have been around for a while- the ‘Season’s Greetings’ packs are, well, late, but on their way.
Yes, that includes the ones to France and Canada! That doesn’t yet include the one to the UK. It’s ready to go, but you’re gonna have to straighten out whatever issue Patreon has with ya- sorry about that.
And if you DON’T get the Patreon update emails, by golly, go click a button and get them.
And if you’re not a Patron through Patreon, by golly, think about it. If everyone who reads Hubris ponied up a buck a month, I’d be forced to add another day’s cartoon every week. And, probably, re-think how to fit everything into my schedule. It’s getting crazy ’round here.
