That’s greenery Lowell is wearing. Look at the past days when they showed him out in the open, especially where he was sitting with the raccoons he bribed with the seafood gumbo pan. His shorts apparently died so he’s wearing greens. Probably kudzu, or as said, poison ivy which he seems to be immune to.
hubris might as well put on a mask for at least he will not breathe lowel scent too much for after all kelly is not that dumb to risk getting a full whiff of lowels new scent.
Why not just drive off? Kelly is distracted with the camera.
Also, having spent a lot of time around people who camp for weeks on end, Lowell shouldn’t smell of anything except warm and woodsmoke. People covered in nasty chemicals smell bad for days, people who walk out and go bushwalking for a few days without deodorant or insect repellant to destroy their skin bacteria don’t smell of anything much. Body odour is a function of chemicals and clothing. But then, I come from a place where swimming is taken for granted as easily as walking or eating….
No, actually, that’s not entirely true. I drove a bunch of folk back from a desert bushwalk and they too smelt of sand and smoke, not bad or pungent, and they hadn’t had any water they didn’t carry with them for a week. So it is just weird modern ideals that makes people think they smell bad.
Some people unfortunately will turn ‘sour’ smelling after just days. Then just SMELL. Lowell has been out in hot and cold for a long time and he’s rather… furry… and that might mean unlike the campers, he may be getting pretty ripe. Swimming means you get rinsed off once in awhile. I would say that me myself, if it’s hit 100f and I had to be out in it, by the next day I’m not happy to be near myself and after a week of that, I definitely don’t want to be near me. So I agree with Lowell may be rather ripe because I doubt he went swimming every day on his way to ‘finding happy’…
Like I said, the week long bushwalking campers I picked up in the desert were also unlikely to have seen water further than the lip of their canteen (and the occasional water jerrycan drop point) for a week, but they didn’t smell of anything other than sand and leather. And I wasn’t “used” to them: I was merely their pickup point at the end. There was nowhere for them to have obtained a swim. It’s an ideal made up by people who use too much chemical deodorant, and think that stale deodorant is what humans smell like.
Due to medical issues I don’t use deodorant for my BO but lots of personal hygene. If I am in the great outdoors, for about three days of hot days and not anything other than the water I’m carrying to drink, I’ll start to be unpleasant to be near me. I don’t want to be near me. Sugar in my diet is a laugh these days as is most refined processed food, not by my choice. I still have issues. Lowell was out here long enough to have had an accident with or otherwise his shorts are gone, by face fur, it’s been awhile. He may be quite whiffy.
So, Lowell is the next Sasquatch complete with body odor.
Nice guys finish last.
Just like the question of who picks up the check at the restaurant.
AArggg! Another teaser. And I stayed up late for it.
Kelly is filming Lowell. Unless Kelly rode with Hubris… now is the time to make tracks out of there, Hubris!
Patterson-Gimlin. skunkape. What can we make of these hints?
Love the positioning of the poison ivy bush in panel 1.
