Should I point out that I came up with this storyline before I heard anything about Ferguson? I should.
It was kinda late to move up another storyline. Awwwkward.

Andddddd… a round to Hubris! (the crowd goes wild!)
Don’t get me wrong. I love that Hubris is athletic without being buff (gives hope to the rest of us mere humans), but there is something very “leading man” in his appearance in today’s strip. Or maybe it’s just the gun butt hiding his gut.
It has been admitted there IS ‘fit but fat’. In that you have tone, you have muscles, and you are well padded. And that’s the way you are.
No, it’s the goggles. They take years off your face. And blue is definitely Hubris’ color.
I think it’s ’cause I’m not good at stretching Hubris’ neck (his initial design didn’t have much neck) and this strip called for him turning his head a lot. And the rifle hiding his gut.
I think it’s because of who he standing next to.
Yeah! That’s it! 😀
Or maybe he’s in his element. Some people just look better at certain places.
Hubris: “This gun is for punching paper. If I want to stop a thug in his tracks, I’ll use super glue.”
Ferguson? In Oz, that’s a type of tractor.
I think you mean something else here though.
Anyone give me a hint?
Wooo. Big story here. Lots of protests, lots of molotov cocktails thrown at the police. Lot of “He said, she said” and lots of news coverage that goes nowhere. Short version- a policeman shot a young man six times, and the community is fed up. There are stances to take on both sides, and fights to start by saying the wrong things. The story even transitioned over into inquiries into the militarization of the police, and racial imbalances between police force/general population ratios.
Oh right. Thankyou.
I’m afraid I only paid attention to the Earthquake on world news.
Well, today yeah…
Keep on with this story. Horrible coincidences happen. At least this story started before the accident in Ferguson.
Before the gun range incident in Arizona, too. At least no kids here!
Oh, yeah. I saw that in the paper today under a headline about Gun Tourism. Yow.
With a high-quality .22 that Hubris has (Anschutz?) I bet he’ll shoot the bullseyes out of the targets.
I won’t even comment on Ferguson aside from saying the whole thing disgusts me, the rioters more than the actual shooting.
Wow. You got the manufacturer on the nose. Well done!
That rifle kinda looks like an Olympic Biathlon rifle: Anschütz 1827F Fortner.
Ouch. Those things cost 2K and up (used), and worth every penny.
Yow. You guys are good at this. Here I thought I was going to be obscure.
I actually edited out a gag that identified the rifle as an Olympic Biathlon gun, and established an idea of where Hubris got it. It bogged down the story (and the way I write, ‘bogged down’ is sorta common, eh?) and didn’t add much that later strips will fill in.
So, well done identifying the firearm, guys!
I did think it was a cool looking gun and surprised that Mr. Biner identified it as a .22…. years back I had a .22 and it wasn’t nearly that neat-o.
i knew it looked familiar ^_^
Hubris gets an a for his sense of humor for playing dumb about having a gun though we were shooting at those paper things. mr. binder will proably not want to go shooting with hubris again.
Yup. Anyone who is decent with one of these rifles thinks dimes are fun targets, that why Hubris made a comment about shooting dots…
