Wednesday was weird. I had a two-part caricature gig at a convention.
Most caricature jobs aren’t two-parters. But this client was smart and familiar with their scheduling, so I had a couple of hours just after lunch and another couple of hours just after dinner. Good planning.
But on a Wednesday. Usually those things happen on Saturday, so the whole day had a Saturday feel. Add to it that my kids are on Spring Break, and the feel of a weekend was complete.
Also- I tend to tune out reality while I’m doing caricatures. There’s a lot of focus that gets spent on a thing that’s done and then whisked away in moments, and so the memories of each drawing get dumped as the next person sits down and you go through the routine again… and the memory is dumped as you move on to the next subject. So, by seven in the evening, I had misplaced four hours of time. Add to it that Daylight Savings Time means that the sun hadn’t yet gone down when I left the convention center… So I had no idea what day it was or what time it was supposed to be.
I got a whole Saturday out of a Wednesday. Cool, huh?
Best use of a Wednesday I’ve heard about recently.
Notice how totally blaise Hubris is about Steve being in the middle of his place? Steve looks like Clint Eastwood drawn Very Very WRONG.
I have a feeling Steve is about to try to take a patch off Hubris because Paste got sponsored. Heck if Steve had done that, he’d be more in control of Paste now. Mostly I think he is mad that Hubris didn’t do the dad-job for him….
PERSONALLY, I expect him to still want Hubris to do that dad’s job. and go on TOUR WITH HIM. give up his shop and follow him around.
which is completely something my own dad would do and I STILL THINK is effed up.
Yep, foist all responsibility for what he sired off on the stepbrother. Who has his own life. I doubt Steve (if he was Steve Jobs instead of Steve Fortis) has the money (aka see: Steve Jobs) to persuade Hubris to give up the life he has. Ought to be good fireworks (popping the popcorn and settling in)
yeah i don’t Hubris agreeing to give up his hard earned shop.
we luck we see some pipe smashing hehe.
NOW that’s the Hubris we all know and love. ignore the parasites in the hopes they give up and go.
but when said snake, aka Steve, talks behind him while HE IS ON THE PHONE. first well RUDE whoever you are. second well me the back of my hand would have said “hello to mister big nose”, and then I would have said to Kara “Sorry, a pesky mosquito was bugging me. So impatient for his weekend?” hehe
Or read the texts. The rudeness goes both ways..
Anyway, Hubris is good at ignoring things.
I have to say I LOVE the helmet-to-hat hair you did on Hubris.
you could ask him hubris but then that would mean hubris would have to talk to dear old step dad. maybe he is backing out on sponsoring paste
He doesn’t have to sponsor him but since he is a minor he most probably want hubris to be the chaperone so he doesn’t have to as usual
Love me, love my son. Or, take care of me, take care of my son. Or maybe, keep me at arm’s length, keep Paste at arm’s length. Or, at the very least, put Paste up in your house, put me in the back of your closet.
Keep Paste under lock and key…
This probably counts as spam, but hey, I’m desperate. https://www.gofundme.com/my-car-is-toast
I’m not above sharing when a regular reader has a link he needs looked at!
Thanks!
hmmm The only guy to ever make Hubris MEAN.. THIS ought to be fun..
