You ever do that? Go out onto a natural Overlook and think “This dang rock has been out here in the rain and wind and cold… what’s holding it all together?”
And you don’t know any reason it hasn’t cracked off and fallen a thousand feet down into the valley maybe a hundred or so years ago.
So what are you doing standing on it admiring the view, when you could be in the car heading to dinner at the local BBQ place?
Yeah, me neither.
Mmmm. BBQ. [gurgle]
(Which region, though?)
Vinegar does not belong in BBQ sauce.
My barbecue sauce contains red wine vinegar. For a Memphis boy I made my own recipe that is a cross between the Memphis and Carolina styles. it is not cooked but mixed cold and aged in glass for a minimum if two months.
People seem to enjoy it.
When I was in the U.S. a LONG time ago (I’m in Japan now), I was doing a lot of business travel, based in Austin, TX. My dream was to hit various cities famous for different styles of BBQ, and try everything to see what I liked best. Unfortunately, that didn’t work out. At one point, I met a NASA astronaut (I was in Florida at the time), and he told me that one of his co-workers was making and shipping Kansas City-style BBQ. I tried contacting the guy, and he never replied back. I was sad. There is no BBQ in Japan. I am still sad.
Perhaps this is your calling… in fact, your destiny… to introduce Japan to that wonderful tradition known to the rest of the world as BBQ.
Can you imagine the amazing kinds of BBQ that would come to exist if chefs in Japan took up slow smoked pork backsides? Oooooooh, there’d be some money paid out for some fancy meat.
I must think about this.
Ah, the quick way to the river for a nice drink. Good thing he took his bike with him so he can ride away after.
Maybe.
I hope Hubris does not follow his father’s path to ‘missing’.
My question is when he hits the ground will it sound like a rifle shot?
He did not mean to do that.
Let us all hope and pray that there are still bars where he lands.
Gravity can be such a cruel mistress.
Now THIS is a cliff-hanger!
LOOKS LIKE THIS IS THE END!!!!!!!
For those supporting Greg on Patreon, this strip’s rollover comment is especially well timed…
And no, that’s not a spoiler; I just thought the text for this strip and the latest Patreon release related in an amusing way.
The Wile E. Coyote sequence would be “sploosh” into the water goes Hubris, then he dodges the rock, wipes his brow, just to look up and get impaled by the bike. Just saying…
As long as he holds up his tiny umbrella over his head, he’ll be fine.
