You know, it took a whole year to roll over this story arc. I think it got away from me a little…
And here we go into the next one.
You guys always seem to know the direction things are about to go… anyone wanna guess what’s about to happen and who’s going to be involved?
Lowell’s going to come in from the cave.
Bob told Hubris about the stampede through the store after the event cleared out and it’ll take someone like Lowell to get stuff straight again.
The raccoons come home to Lowell’s house and they all live together in one big happy family….
Greg, congrats on surviving yet another year with Hubris!
Well, the raccoons are with Lowell, so they’re probably not the culprits. The bankers probably couldn’t get to the store from the park that fast, so that should leave them out. Bob was in the store at the time, so it shouldn’t be simple burglars, or a regular fire. Skateboarders are pretty tame, and Sportsmart isn’t that focused on targeting Outdoors Galore when Lowell isn’t working for them. I’m thinking either the combat frisbee guys are back, or Mr. Crabby, under Paste’s next door skatepark, has finally been visited by his black helicopters.
Black helicopters and Lowell as Bigfoot.
Is Art Bell going to appear?
The coons talk, and they sound like Yoda
Somebody crashed their car/truck into the store causing extensive structural damage. The store has to close indefinitely. There will be side story about insurance while Hubris considers repairs, total rebuild, or moving to a new location. With either choice, mission creep appears as they’ll all contemplate store design upgrades. Hubris will invite Lowell to help project manage the eventual work.
it could have been somebody plowed the store but. Notice that Bob’s necklace is missing too…. the debris in the background and a puddle… could be several causes. Natural cause? Um, the weather didn’t look off. Hm.
Well, we have another great “stay tuned” toon:
The teaser panel from yesterday; either Walmart after Black Friday or a convenience store in Ferguson.
A totally ambiguous one-sided phone call; reporting either a disaster or a mother-lode.
A lurking hairy silhouette and a stench; Lowell.
I really expected a couple of walk-ons like the dog rescue lady after a long arc. If you have another major one, it was cooking in a corner of your brain while doing this one. Guessing it is the reintroduction of Lowell with complications. FeelinForYa is probably pretty close.
Ok, after re-reading Hubie’s side of the conversation and his facial expression, I have to change my prediction. I’m now siding with Kreskin.
hubris not only is going to wind up riding back to the store with Lowel sticking up his car but catch chase r trying to hit up bob for some fee
I just came back to comment it was probably Chase R that plowed the store. And is going to try to sue except they eventully find a security camera that was angled just right to show Chase R. grinning and giving a little lurch like he stomped it on purpose….
