Remember Bob Newhart’s old telephone routines? Where you only got half the conversation, and your own brain filling in the other half was part of what made it funny?
If you answered “No,” then you need to check out ‘The Button Down Mind of Bob Newhart’ from, I dunno, about fifty years ago or something. And get it on LP, for heaven’s sake. That’s how you’re supposed to listen to that stuff. With a big ol’ cardboard sleeve photo to look at instead of video.
Ahhh. Getting back on schedule. If I gotta work, then everyone in the comic strip gets to work today… or at least take calls about work.
There you go. No Backsies!
Actually, for any of you guys who wonder about how this strip gets written, or at least plotted (IS there anyone like that?) The story when Mr. Smythe-Cholera first went rafting with his family and Hubris was supposed to be the precursor to today’s strip and the upcoming “Corporate Weekend.” Building all the weird circumstances in between seemed like it should only take me a couple of weeks or so, and I rolled along with it. Now here we are, heaven-knows-how-long down the road, finally touching on the first notes of that story I thought we’d be well into by now.
There you go.
Welcome to those folks that are finding their way here from GoComics.com! Glad to have you. But… spoiler alert! The next year or so worth of gocomics Hubris strips are archived here. If you want the stories to unfold at a comic a day, you might want to just hit the ‘random’ button a few times and enjoy the anticipation. Otherwise? Click the button marked ‘The Beginning’ and you get the jump on everyone who DOESN’T find their way here from gocomics. Enjoy!
