There was a podcast a while back where the hosts talked about Hubriscomics.com. One of the things they said was that I was still kinda trying to do a gag-a-day feature, but that’d make it hard to put the whole thing together into a book later.
And the practical upshot is that sometimes, the cartoons advance the story without having a punchline.
I try to minimize that, of course, but here we are again.
For those of you who like that little storytelling, human spark… you’re welcome. For those of you who wanted to see Paste electrocute himself with an RV’s hydrogen cell and poo his pants… I’ll try to work that in later sometime. Or not. It sounds nasty.
We’ve already had a guy poo an entire swamp, so Paste pooing himself would be a letdown. And he’s already got no hair left for the electrocution to turn funny-looking. That just leaves him touching his tongue to the hydrogen cell cause it’s hilarious.
I love the subtle and NOT so subtle things you put in this strip.
Thank you for the art.
just Paste stuck on top of an electric pole due to his ‘parachute’ and having to wait for rescues…if they feel like it would be MORE THAN ENOUGH for me. lol
also…is Hubris going through denial?
I think he was trying not to cry.
or scream
Talk to your mother, Hubris! And don’t run away like it seems your father used to…
Oh! Now I remember, his dad came to him a dream (I think more than once) when Hubris was stressed out. So he is on Hubris’ mind. Maybe he’ll find the strength to talk in public about him.

That’s really sweet and sad. Nice, too, to see the mom’s empathetic side. (I’m not sure we knew she had one!)
