I’ve managed to use the ‘It’s not THAT kind of outdoor store’ line several times since starting the strip. I thought it’d be funny to have that as a running gag. And I thought I’d used up all the other ‘kinds’ of outdoor store until I found the line popping up naturally in today’s cartoon. Cool.

And a mother who sighs and just brings out the checkbook and writes.
A shop that catered to gamers, and had space on Friday night through Sunday night (you paid a monthly fee) to game in the back… I seen many a young to medium teen at the counter on Friday, with Mom sighing and just opening the checkbook and writing…
When I was in the medieval reenactment group, we got tons of these all excited to ‘really fight with swords’ and they didn’t like running into they would actually have to train with ducttape and rattan fakes, and the outfits and costuming and no it wasn’t LARP dungeon crawling style. Parental units usually talked to us after about 2 months about the bottom line, and we would never see the kids again. (phew)
Poor Hubris. Waiting for mom to just show up.. maybe this is the sister of Crazy Dog Lady?
Hubris: “We’re really more of a “pink flamingos and lawn trolls kind of outdoors store. Do you want to talk to our resident troll expert?”
Kid: “Do I!”
Another basement dweller. Perhaps his type like to imagine that the basement is a dungeon, but as one of my ancestors can attest, real dungeons don’t have wi-fi or funky dice.
What! No warhammers? Inconceivable!
Siege engines? Home Depot. Sigh. Noob.
Doesn’t Hubris carry archery supplies?
That almost makes me want to google just how many types of outdoor stores there are… Almost.
But I value my brain cell being in something of a working over to actually carry through with that tad bit of curiosity.
I Am wondering just what the young pup thinks is his mother’s “world” that would include Hubris’ store items in it…
“world” is used in the D&D context here.
That may not help much.
I blame radon gas exposure.
You made me spray my drink! That is about the best one yet on what’s truly going on….
Hubris should be sble to get the dude to create some custom armor.
Armor: helmets, knee/shin/elbow guards, and the magic codpiece
Weapons: archery (too dangerous to sell to gamers), wiffle bats, tent poles
Horses: sell ’em skateboards, with Paste training them to joust
Dungeon gear: backpacks, trail mix, “torches”, rope
Come on, Hubie, that’s a customer- not just a troglodyte.
Nah, sell them archery supplies. Not, too dangerous to sell to gamers.
A mother who speaks “Geek”?! THAT is a rarity!
hello mamm as i was telling junior here that is not that kind of store may i recomemend the game shop down the street. asks hubris. as paste walks in and sees hubris misery and starts laughing.
