I went through all of last year’s Hubris cartoons this morning. I had to pick out twelve of them to submit to the NCS to try and get a nomination for the Silver Reuben for the Short Form Online Comic division.
I’ve been rushing the art for the past year in a way that bothers me. I won’t say that I’ve chosen quantity over quality, in an effort to make sure you guys get four cartoons a week, but I have cut some corners that, when looking through the whole pile all at once, make me think I can do better. And so, I will.
Just thought I’d let you know.
Oh the quiet before the storm at the shop…. oh dear.
Greg – Which is more important, a few comments here a day from apple polishers, or the prestige and massive influx of cash from winning a Reuben?
Quality, quality, quality.
(Just remember to throw us a lobster bone now and again.)
Massive influx of cash? I dunno, TSOJ…
Influx of cash: click the little gold and grey P on the left side that says ‘Team Hubris’ and become a Patron through Patreon. Help Greg realize his dreams too. Back in ancient ages, I used to say ‘support the arts, feed an artist’ . 🙂 Yes I signed up and they took the first pledge payment, very easy. He’s giving away cool swag too…. (shameless yes, Ferengi gene-yes, and well polished gene, yes.) *Greg does not pay me to promote supporting him, I do so because I think Hubris is KEWL (deleted)!
Ok, you’ve passed your nerd exam. First a reference to Heinlein, now Deep Space 9.
And proud of it. 🙂 I actually prefer it to be ‘Old Geekina’ ….
Actually didn’t know I invoked Robert but looking back there I guess I did. I’ve been a merchant at many conventions and fairs and joked for a long time about having a Ferengi gene…
Today’s comic is just begging for predictions. Way too calm back at the store, so something is bound to happen. Robbers? Raccoons? Relatives? Romance for Bob!?! Stay tuned for more adventure, in full color!
I don’t know what bothers me more: Heinlein or DS9 references.
Greg, if you’re going Walt Kelly on us, *I won’t mind,* but the writing is key. We all like the characters, so I think the writing’s not a problem…
But I like me some Pogo (art,) so if you’re going that route, kewl…
Oh, you know me. I like the writing. But I pride myself on the pretty pictures.
and the award for keeping his or her sanity through all this craziness goes to bob mostly because he was smart enough to stay out of this whole thing.
*snerk!*
