    If it wasn’t raining, I’d say “burn!!!” to Lowell’s face. But now, it would just come out as “sizzle”, which may not be the impression Wiggins-Ross wants to present.

    Show of hands- how many of you say today’s cartoons and, at a glance, assumed it was the previous cartoon and that I hadn’t updated?

    Ha… Ohh Lowell, I love how never seems to prepair himself for any kind of fight and thats just about how every fight turns out. Thats really too bad since he gots alot going for him if he just learned to carry himself a little better.

      You have a really good sense of goofy ol’ Lowell. I try not to write him as a “bad” guy, just a really enthusiastically inept professional with few real social skills.

        Well thank you… It’s actually pretty easy to see why he is not a bad guy in my and maybe your book too.. He is not trying to do anything terribly unmoral, and he always seems carerful to do everything in a reasonable legal manner. While the sporting goods his store is offering are inferior to the sporting goods offered by Hubris’s store they are cheaper, and he does not make any false claims about the.. That make his services justiflably just as good as Huberis’s store because there is a need for cheap sporting goods just like there is a a need for expensive sporting goods. Finaly he does not actualy seem to want to keep anyone down, or put them under his boot.

        Also.. Look how you wrote him in the parking lot scene where he was passing out flyers. He could of as manager easily made someone else put on the clown suit, and make everyone else pass out flyers while he sat in the air conditioned store.. instead he is leading by exsample, and out there with them.

        If there is a bad guy in the comic its really the lawer. It is stereotypical.. but reasonable considering he is greedily trying to shut down people’s work and pass time even if it has great and good effect on anyone that uses those services. He is willing to lie, and cheat the law to do so.. despite the fact he sworn to defend to do so.. It’s a hypocracy for a anyone to hold other people above the law when they act below it. Im sure you written more ways the lawer is evil.. but I always find hypocracy to be strongest scent of evil in writing.

          Chase R. Ambule himself has been written in (so far) as a bad guy, but there’s also a team of lawyers competing called the Liti-Gators. They’re good lawyers, though I can’t recall if I’ve mentioned them specifically yet. There’s good and bad examples of any career path. Lowell’s one kind of manager, and Hubris is another. Chase is one kind of lawyer… that gives the rest such a rotten reputation.

            First off, I can’t wait to see Chase R. Ambule mess his shorts when team LitiGators comes in to save the day. Well I can, but only because I’m sure Chase has barely begun to hypocritically lie, cheat, and steal his way failure. So once it does happen, “Ohhh boy, Oh Boy!” Lets just It’s a vary guilty pleasure of mine to watch hypocritical people fail, and do I ever know I’m a horrible person for it.

            As for managers while most get a bad wrap.. I found the reality is they usually are caught in tough spot that forces them to be competitive or goal oriented With that in mind, any dead weight on there team can take the whole team down, which is why they tend to be hardest on there slackers. After all, if the whole team fails, then nobody gets a prize, or everyone is out of work.

            Hubris strikes me a vary independent manager.. He has greatest system in the world of figuring out what is the best sporting Equipment he can sell. (The High Impact Stress testing of everything till it Breaks, every weekend…) On top of that, he must be a pretty talented mechanic and engineer to make the stuff he does, and repair all the things he breaks. So he really does not need too many employees.

            And that is a good thing since for a guy that is a good judge of character, he makes some vary questionable choose as far as his associate hiring goes. I recall back to the time he hired the skateboarder that assembled all his skate boards and then took off with two as payment. And letting Durnell Hawk watch the store seems questionable since he does not but drink all the beer and hit on Kara from the looks of things. Bob seems to refuse to work for him if he can help it, which must be why you have him written as his smartest friend.. So it is no surprise that his most long term employee to date has been Pasty, quite and went to work for Lowell of all people.

            Sooo, I’m going to go out a limb and guess that once the Great Stanky Creek Snake Oil Energy Elixir OutdoorFest is over, and Hubris is finally done getting things done and putting out the fires.. He will with the great success of the festival, proudly give the crown winner of the event, (who will like be Lowell because he was over zealous in removing the advantage a ringer might have on any given Team) and Tell them.. They have to manage the next one. I honestly want to see it happen since It be interesting to see what Lowell could do with the snake water festival and how much different would the story be.

            Besides which, you already put his next potential girlfriend, and his senior most on his team to watch this happen. How can he refuse the offer to manage what will or is be the most prestigious independent outdoor festival they may of seen? And besides which, Lowell keeps saying ‘it will be a shame when his store runs Hubris’s store out of business’ but he really never done anything to make good on that threat… Then again, you got allot of stories to write before a second festival could happen.
