Time to get Paste off the stage and into some pants someplace.
And you know what they say about getting rid of one pest only to have another one show up.
You know what they say. I don’t. What it means right now is that Dusty is looking like just as much trouble as Paste, but of course she MEANS it.
Paste is just trouble without meaning much of anything.
Leave it to Paste to drag the local politicians into a scandal that they didn’t even bring down upon themselves.
In this day and age of political tomfoolery, Paste could end the careers of just about any politician from either side of the aisle. If the Mayor has made a career of being well-spoken and never swearing, he may not get out of the Outdoorfest with that reputation intact… And once the photos hit the social medias…
Standing in lines. You know it’s gonna happen at festivals, and there’s nothing much you can do about it.
I mean, you can plan ahead and try to outmaneuver the crowds, but they’ll all doing the same thing YOU are, so… y’know.
The real difference with an outdoorsfest is that you have a bunch of woods right next to you, and for those people who aren’t squeamish about it… well, let’s just say that they don’t have to worry quite so much about adding length to the bathroom lines. They just have to worry about 1) how many and who’s been past the treeline before them and 2) therefore where they step, and 3) what was the description of poison ivy and poison oak and poison sumac, again? Are you sure?
This comic hearkens back to one a few days ago- remember?
Normally, I assume you guys remember every little thing in the strip. Heaven knows that experience bears that out.
So, in a few weeks, we need to watch the Gocomics.com people and their comments. I get it- I mean, they don’t just read Hubris, but seem to read dozens of comics every morning, I guess.
But in the 09-10 gocomics Hubris cartoon (the one where he’s sleeping in the store on the first night of the Fest) one commenter said, “Why is he sleeping in the store?” and of course I thought, “Because I just said in another strip that he would be…”
But the ‘another strip’ had been a while back and for someone who reads a lot of random gocomics every morning, she can’t be expected to recall everything Hubris offhandedly says.
Even if I want her to.
And it’s 9-11 today here in the States. The day when either the sort of thing you’d been vaguely dreading actually happened, or the kind of thing you never thought could ever happen here, did.
If this was a cliché-ridden old movie, Hubris’ final line would have been “He’s standing right behind me, isn’t he?”
I’m sure glad those days are gone.
And now we can use it as a snarky trope.
