Hubris- Take the girl out of the Competition, but…

Sep01

by Greg Cravens on September 1, 2021 at 3:33 am

Chapter: Comic

Since these cartoons have already run over on the Patreon page, I’ve already got some feedback on this one…

So let’s examine Kara’s behavior… Competition junkie tries to turn her life around by dating someone who dotes on her and suits her father and doesn’t enable her competition addiction.

And she tries to turn him into Hubris the very second that she’s accomplished her goal.

Yep. Perfectly normal human behavior.

I’m now going to the kitchen to get my fifth soda of the day that I swore off five times today already.

Hubris- Sucking Up!

Sep11

by Greg Cravens on September 11, 2020 at 1:11 am

Chapter: Comic

How do you like ol’ Docta Pain, leaping out of the canoe and back into the bike race?! Nice, right? She’s got spunk. And probably a weapon, somewheres on her. I wouldn’t wanna find out.

And that Kara Biner, she’s really moved into the role of leader of her team, and not just a hotdog who needed backup. ‘Cause that role is taken by another competitor in the ‘Fest.

Speaking of other roles being taken…

Chapter: Comic

You didn’t think Mr. Biner would be unaware of his powerful voice, didja?

You didn’t think he wouldn’t be crazy proud of it or anything, wouldja?

You didn’t suppose that Kara doesn’t just love her daddy for his unique, ear-splitting ability, shouldja?

Hubris- Voices from the Outer Darkness

Sep08

by Greg Cravens on September 8, 2020 at 1:11 am

Chapter: Comic

Mr. Biner has issues. We know this.

He also has some skills. They don’t often get used, what with having limited application in a world that hasn’t become apocalyptic yet, but they are skills nonetheless.

Hubris- Fleeing The Feeling

Aug24

by Greg Cravens on August 24, 2020 at 1:11 am

Chapter: Comic

I don’t know about where YOU live, but mosquitos around here are pretty nightmarish, and this is a GOOD year- when there aren’t as many as have been in the past.

When I get bitten by mosquitos (or whatever word it is- attacked, sucked, fed upon, stung, zapped… whatever) I spend the next few hours with my skin crawling, convinced I’ve got the little bastards all over me.

I’m itching all over now just writing this.

If I were neck deep in a lake to hide from mosquitos, I guarantee I’d still feel like they were all over me.

Chapter: Comic

Your eyes aren’t playing tricks- you’re getting to see the paddlers’ blindfolds! Close up!

We can see that no one’s cheating so far, anyhow.

Hubris- The Mean Streets

Jul31

by Greg Cravens on July 31, 2020 at 1:11 am

Chapter: Comic

I won’t hide from anyone that I don’t enjoy riding bicycles on city streets. It’s too stressful for me to enjoy.

Dirt trails with venomous reptiles and the chance to become lost or injured far from help? Never has worried me too much.

Riding in streets filled with drivers any one or more of which could possibly be distracted in any number of ways? Or murderously angry? Or half-wittedly malicious? Or off-handedly mean spirited? Or thoughtlessly daydreaming? That’s not even much of a gamble. In some cities, that ride’s a death wish.

But drawing a bunch of bicycles in a city? Pretty amusing, even if coloring it takes an extra minute or seventy.

Hubris- Stern und Drang

Jul28

by Greg Cravens on July 28, 2020 at 1:11 am

Chapter: Comic

You want to work out, beforehand, who knows what about canoes and racing.

If you ask “you know your way around a canoe race, right?” and the person you’re facing says, “Yes, my brother and I raced frequently in Summer Camp. It was great”, then you have some information.

But you don’t have all the information you need. Perhaps the questions “Did you ever win a race?”, or “How young were you at the time?” or “Why is your life jacket on backward and inside out?” should have been asked, just for clarification.
