How long has it been since I dropped a talkative new character into the strip?
I hope it’s been long enough. We needed a storyteller.
Aaaand for anyone who became an official Patron of Hubris (you become one by clicking the gray and orange ‘Team Hubris’ button to the left over there, and doing patron-y things) during the month of January, the physical rewards have all been mailed. To the one Patron in France- it might take a bit for it to arrive. For the two Patrons who get screen savers- if you’d like to email me and let me know if you need it for phone or desktop or iPad or whatever, (or even if you don’t) I will send those out this weekend. For those newer Patrons who signed up in February- your goodies will go out in March after Patreon sends me your info.
Thanks, folks!!

Kewl, waiting for my package from Lurlene’s. 🙂
Okay, so why did this dude show up at the store? Doesn’t Hubris have a surveillance camera? Even a gopro going in the corner?
gotta love that he uses a politically correct indoor e-cig sincerely lol
I thought that was a seegar with the band still on it.
Nope, it’s not a seegar. Why have him smoke though (though we know that Twain did)? It’s more PC to have him not smoke (Even James Bond quit smoking in the movies – Pierce Brosnan just sort of dropped it when he was Bond…he said so in an Interview)
Clem speaks with a southern twang?
A storyteller? So you can relate lies around the campfire in cartoons. Sneaky way to get tons of new material for a full time strip. Well, few could do it better than Sam Clements/Mark Twain.
This should be fun.
Twang, Mark Twang. This should be verrrrry interesting.
Note the precise way he asked if any naked ladies were expected. Greg will have to put a lot more work into his dialog now. “Work” for sure, for a Southern boy. Note I did not call him a redneck.
Never have I been so happy to do a little quick research as when I needed to step up my Clem Twang dialogue. Started listening to two different Twain audiobooks. Happiness.
sooo good to see Bob again even if he is a little frazzled! Got my booty from Lurlene’s. Thanks Greg! Loved the do not bend envelope and it did not get bent even coming all that way!!! The post office must love you!!! Can’t wait to see what Mr. Twang has to say……
Dang, a weekend coming up. Two days without a decent toon. Think I’ll reread this one from the beginning.
I dare ya to. There’s, like, 900 cartoons to dig through. Even at two seconds per reading, that’s a time investment, that is.
I got sidetracked by a reference to Bearmaggedon. You had something to do with that?
I did a guest strip for them. That was a great webcomic. No idea if he’ll ever go back and work on it again.
Lowell, 3/23/11, neat, well dressed, confident. Look at him now. Hubris or self-inflicted?
First sighting of a raccoon, 5/27/11. I think the Mad single panel is very effective and should be a Sunday tradition if you go full week. Sundays are seldom linked to a story line anyway.
Sundays are seldom linked to the daily storyline because a lot of cartoons are run as ‘sunday funnies’ only in syndication. Hence the Sundays often stand alone versus the weekly run storyline and plot… (Luann and the current Doonsbury runs are two I can think of where it’s almost jarring, especially Doonsbury with their long flashbacks through the archives during the week and picking up the characters in ‘current time’ only on Sundays)
June 7, 2011. I do not remember this one, and I have read the strip from the beginning before. Not really outdoorsy, the movie looks to be Men in Black.
September 2011 camping trip: sidetracked by White Board. The shopping links are broken though.
7/6/12: Another I do not remember. I can’t imagine Kara having doubts about anything.
nice and some one new bringing the crazy that is the universe of hubris . surprised he did not think lowel was bigfoot too.
