You ever just run out of happy to share with everyone? Maybe it’s like blood, or pocket change, or something, and eventually there just isn’t any to hand over.
Or, maybe you’ve just run into one of those people you can’t get along with.
Everyone, meet David.
OOH we get to meet the stepdad. Oozing snake oil already. YEAH!
with a face like that…I feel your comment is an insults for snakes lol
I don’t think Dave is Paste’s dad. See
http://hubriscomics.com/comic/hubris-tattle-tale/
The dad’s name was Bill.
Maybe Paste’s dad’s lawyer?
(And don’t ask me why I remembered the Bigfoot Ghost Hunter plot line. I can’t remember what I had for breakfast this morning. Did I have breakfast this morning?)
Oops. Okay, here’s the thing… I did minimal checking (meaning, I thought about it for a few minutes and decided “Oh, I mentioned the stepdad’s name in THAT strip” and looked it up and used what I thought was the only reference to Paste’s dad’s name. Aaaaaaand I had no memory of having done the Tattle Tale strip. Which I will now change to reflect my constant and continuous knowledge that the character’s name is, well and truly, “David”. So get a screen shot of the old strip before I mess it up.
So, is it an Easter Egg or an oversight that said strip is still tagged “Bill?” X-D
Hi David! Nice windpipe! Shame if anything were to happen to it.
Well! *There’s* an interesting family dynamic! At least Hubris is warning him…
I used to PMS for months at a time (they finally fixed it) and I would at least give you a warning before I ripped your body parts off and beat you with them just for breathing. Hubris is just being civil at issuing the warning of doom if you don’t shut up and vacate. Just heed your warning, you actually GOT one.
am not sure you can call this “running out of kindness” it’s more along the kind of SOME PEOPLE just bring the worst of anyone.
I know personally, I can be all smile all day long, not necessary a full on real one. but then I see SOME PEOPLE, and I just can’t even stay polite with them.
and to be honest, just HIS face I would probably not be friendly with him, it’s like a snake slithering around your house. In some ways, I sure understand why Paste is like he is.
and, another point…the guy got into Hubris place…with NO WARNING.
that’s enough cause to Kick him out, or into privates, and have probable causes.
“I am sorry officer, i was tired after a day at work and helping a cranky old guy work on his bunker. and when I opened my door that creepy guy was in front of me…I thought he was a burglar. DID YOU EVEN LOOK AT HIS FACE?”
lol
If nothing else Steve got in because Paste has access to the house as he lives there….
yet, from Paste’s smug face, I bet that he knew that Hubris wouldn’t be happy to see him.
kinda messed up if you ask me. and I am starting to HOPE that Hubris, big heart or not, will KICK THEM BOTH OUT…or at least do what he threatened Steve to do to him.
the guy gives me the HIBEJEBEES just looking at his face…
the mom is at LEAST easier to watch and talk to. HIM…GOT TO WONDER, what she saw into him sorry to say.
My first take on “Dad” was ‘is that the Joker?’ All he need is makeup.
Hmmm, click bait hover text? I ctrl-click on all the ads just to give Greg a few extra kickback cents, then delete the tabs so I don’t even know what they are selling.
If “they” are tracking my shopping habits they’re getting confusing signals.
Confusing “They”? Sounds fine to me. I figure, with all the googling I do for editorial cartoon images, I’ve probably sent up some very weird flags. As far as the ads here- Me being the admin guy, I’m not supposed to click on things or set up bots to do it or some other crap I can’t remember after I was told. Don’t care. Webcomics advertise here, so I click on them and check ’em out. They’s not yo’ grand-daddy’s funny papers, y’all!
Also, I clicked on that one about the metal tops that are supposed to spin for a crazy long time. I think the ad was just as informative as the website. They sell tops. The ones in the ads. And, I think, a base you can put the top on. Nifty, but… Tops. Nice looking ad.
ads i get on MY side are from websites i visit, comixology and wish, or at times search i did like a shelf. and well some webcomics i don’t know about lol
Silly of Lowell, imagine if Hubris had said Yes… I think it would have done ol Lowell an injury with the weirdness of That. Perhaps the batty boy is finally learning something and asked just to hear the usual “no” so his day would end right side up?
As to… What’s his name… Sorry, I tend to forget the names of people/characters I don’t like in a real hurry. All I can say is if that’s Paste’s father, then the lil snot apparently hasn’t reached full potential as a person of annoying personality yet. He’s workin’ on it but hasn’t Quite reached Daddikins’ level. ¬¬’
Uhm, Mister Greg, sir… Hasn’t the comic achieved the quota of people to annoy Hubris yet? I only ask because I mean poor Hubris… I would have come unsprung by now already. He’s got to be some kind of saint!
and thus we get the reason paste is the way he is. lowel will be a little hurt for he has it in his mind he is hubris nemisis
I’m still betting Paste will get SportsMart to sponsor his World Naked Bike Ride…. before this is all done.
Hubris just described my life … ‘cept I’m not really ever “happy” … I just pretend to be. Major Chronic Depression doesn’t allow me much happiness. BUT to appease my acquaintances, and appear happy I slip a mask on.
I’m not an expert but if you’re good to slip a mask on you may be happier than you realize. Then again that could be the definition of chronic.
Oooh I hate Dave already…… Lucky that Paste has been away from him for a while.
