Well … the Wukilar and Chupacabra have BOTH made appearances in Hubris before … so it could be one of ’em or Lowel. Or a terrible offspring of the three. EEEK!
Now for us it’s been almost three maybe four month, but in comic time it’s only been a week or two since Lowell went in search of himself in the woods.
Yeah, that’s always an issue, isn’t it? It takes roughly two seconds to read the average comic strip. So there’s two seconds of life right there, usually followed by the two seconds just after it. It’s like soap operas, where the characters have the same conversation over the space of a week or two, while you’re waiting for the building to burn up around them or something. And eventually, you get Susan Lucci at, what, 102 years old, playing a character who is somehow still 35, and has been married 19 times. I think that’s how her soap opera ended. (also, my wife showed me an article in a magazine about it- if I remember right, her character really was married 19 times… of course, over half of those times were to the same other character) So, here we are, five years into Hubris, and Paste is still 13.
That’s right, it can’t even been a year since Hubris jumped out of his bedroom window and caught the newspaper, we haven’t seen winter yet. Sure we’ve seen Hubris in a Santa suit, but no skiing, skating, snowboarding or snowball fights.
Or is the Hubiverse somewhere that the climate is always perfect for playing outdoors…I like that thought better, wish I was there.
OK, we have a steely-eyed Hubie taking charge and giving orders. This is waaay too creepy. He may be in grave danger of “growing up”. If so, shoot him first, then bigfoot.
No steely eyed Hubris. Just one ‘I hadda enough of this’ and is going to TKB the quick way.
I think the strip started at ‘school’s out’ and I figured Stanky Creek was end of June or early July, so they’re still in July… so that means probably 2 weeks for Lowell in the woods max.
At least the food should quickly take care of the frat boys and their ‘Find’
P.S. Shameless plug on behalf of our hard working favorite cartoonist….
Go sign up to be a Patreon. There’s a really cheap level and the swag at the higher levels go from great to awesome, dude, very fast. Then we’ll get a lot more Hubris too. Greg Promised!!!!!!! (yes I’m the first one that signed up, come join in, the more the merrier mayhem)
I’m looking forward to sending out the first round of swag. Patreon will tell me whose pledges go through at the beginning of February. I got my envelopes and stuff ready.
I did ask that I wanted to buy that one pencil outright, you already owe me the inked one as soon as they bug Paypal, of the same cartoon I tried nicely to request. I wanted the set…. pweeze?
and a keg of beer too for odds are hubris and paste are about to come face to face with not only a naked lowel but lowel dirty and covered in leaves and mud. the horror is coming the horror is coming.paste better be afraid.
Hmm. Wonder if there’s still food in his pantry. Didn’t Lowell leave Bob in charge of the house? Doesn’t matter; we’ll have the talking, spear-carrying ‘coons taking residence in no time.
The Wukilar Song scene is also noteworthy for providing — along with the combat frisbee episode — a Kelly-sans-shades sighting. Something you only see once in a blue moon, if that.
This might get scary very shortly. (chortle) can’t wait.
Is it Lowell or not? So much suspense

The wukilar song gets better every time
Wukilar. Wukilar.
Don’t remember him. Guess I better go look him up on wukipedia.
Everyone likes lobster. Even the guys with food allergies. The real question is, now much weight has Lowell lost by now?

Good god man! What an awful thing to do to a child; keep him 13 for 5 years.
Bah. Dennis the Menace has been 6 years old for 50 years now.

I will begin the hard-target search for the pencil art. The Inked one has been located, I believe.
