I still haven’t revealed Hubris’ surname yet. Carlaisle Foris is Hubris’ mom’s son by her second husband.

Eek. Who’d have thought I’d ever put as much time into the family tree of the people that live in my head. Anyhow, I think their names are funny.
There’s not a particular joke with Paste’s real name. Not reeeeeally. When I wrote the scene without using some official sounding name in the emergency room, it came off sounding just too familiar. So, I took the opportunity to make Hubris look a little cautious, then put the familiarity into the Doctor’s response. It seemed to work better that way.
I did a cartoon sort of explaining it years ago, but it was never used for anything outside my studio, really. It’s not particularly funny. In fact, if you want to know- Paste, like many young people, gave himself the pirate-y hip hop nickname. He thought people would assume it’s because he ‘sticks to his skateboard so well’, when in fact people just assume it indicates a snacking preference from preschool or even later in his educational career.
dang
“Hubris Foris”? Should just stick an L and T and have their last name “Florist” *LOL*…. uh yeah.
Glad to see Kara still “likes” Paste so much. snerk

If there’s a joke with Paste’s real name someone will have to explain it to me . . . please?

Carlisle Foris? hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I just wonder how he got the nickname Paste (or was that explained in an earlier Hubris comic strip)…
