Normally, over at the Patreon page, I talk about the behind-the-scenes stuff about coloring and schedule and tool quirks or whatever, and the commentary I put in here is usually from ‘inside’ the cartoon.
But not today. Today, I thought I’d mention that I went looking for the last Sue P. cartoon, so I could cadge all the colors off it. That’s what I usually do- open an older cartoon and copy the colors from it so that things stay at least a LITTLE consistent from one appearance of a character to the next.
Today I grabbed one from a couple of weeks ago or so for Durnell, Mark Troll (feel free to ‘out’ my appropriation of Mark Trail if any of you guys go over there to read that strip. The commenters there are an angry bunch and they’d probably like the opportunity to see Mark done bad over here.) and Clem Twang (and their judges booth, which I drew from memory and made a mistake on, dang it. When I finally do the ‘Complete Hubris’ book, I’m gonna have weeks of tweaks to make) And then I scrolled back through my files to find Sue P. Turns out, last time she rode through was nearly a year ago. Eleven months or so? Except in Cartoon Time. Then it was, like twenty minutes or less.
Ride’m Girl!!!!! You Go Gettum!!!!! The fact that it knocked Twang into the modern age and under five words… AWESOME!
So when does the bird do his launch and bounce off the trampoline?
Gack! Hopefully, after we land and clear the ramp! 😉
Although I’m not sure who would win any dust up, to be honest. Ronnie HATED dogs, disliked cats, and ignored foxes. Never saw him with coyotes, cougars or bears, although more than once I was at the barn late and watched him watch “something” move along down the hill. I assumed it was a bear, I didn’t try to verify my guess though. It was making more noise and sounded bigger than anything I wanted to challenge at 11pm.
So, you ever worked in Sales, SueP? If you had a podcast it’d be The SueP Sales Show.
Agreed! Love this!
So, is Hubris going to be upset at finding Dusty *didn’t* take care of the bird already?
If he finds it in the store, will he eat it, or give Dusty the bird?
Marvellous strip today!
BUT!!!It’s “Colosseum”!
[Sorry, Greg – it’s just the teacher in me!]
whose baby crawled innocently onto the trampoline and just smiles there as the speediest contestant ever comes in at full blast?
Laughed at both the double pipes and Clem’s response.
This is the MOST hilarious Hubris strip yet!! ROTFLMAO!!!
Greg is insane.
He has to be. However we love him anyways, and wait eagerly for his next strip!
We don’t have a choice in waiting, now do we? haha
@[AllanCB]:
Greg’s not loved DESPITE his insanity, but rather BECAUSE of it.
#Just_So_We’re_Clear … 😉 … 😛 … 🙂
We’re gonna need a reset on that trampoline..
Clem like me is impressed.
That horse be smiling!!!
Those Acme brand trampolines sure can take some abuse.
@[Random Guy]:
Yes they can .. except when they can’t … as “Wile E. Coyote” has learned the hard way.
(I.E.: Over-&-Over-Again)
😉
“ACME”-brand products have acquired a certain … reputation … over the course of several … incidents … spanning several decades.
Apparently there’s no amount of quality-control that can overcome the “Murphy-ism” known as the “Rule of Funny”.
@[Greg]:
QUESTION ___ Is “Mark Troll” so addicted to nicotine that he needs to fill one pipe while smoking the other, so that his replacement ‘fix’ will be primed-&-ready?
Maybe Mark has more than one mix he likes to partake in. Maybe even non-tobacco… hm.
