I think we can assume that Steven has a really close, positive, and happy relationship with his parents.
Why does that seem so weird?
I mean, it IS weird. Isn’t it?

I think Big Ron is asking for trouble.
Not physical trouble, like Mal might pick an actual fight.
I think he might start dating Shelly. That might be trouble. They’re just too similar… relationships like that are volatile. Y’know. “Trouble”
Dating is tricky.
Especially if you’re not.
But in your head, you were.
But you don’t know what’s in the other person’s head.
‘Cause you don’t know that other person.
‘Cept, in your head, you do.
But then… you really, really don’t.
Everyone, meet Shelly.
I think you’re going to like Shelly. I like her.
You’ve done this, haven’t you? Made assumptions, got excited, found out you’ve overextended yourself and then… you find everyone else involved has too. And everything’s fine.
Yeah, me neither. But I’ve heard it happens.
Remember when you were a kid, and you didn’t have any idea how the genders were supposed to get along outside of whatever random instinctive behaviors bubbled up in your partially formed brain, and for what you’d seen in mass entertainment where the primary theme of any visual medium was ‘Sex Sells’?
Yeah, me neither.
In my family, the jokes usually revolve around a tendency to burn the rolls, not the kitchen itself.
This story arc is built out of several different versions written years ago. In fact, it’s probably the distillation of several different dinner dates with Mr. and Mrs. Biner. For proof of that, today’s cartoon was inked in 2003- it’s been ready to go for years. The previous cartoon was a general idea, but there was no script nor sketch until a couple of days ago. The one before THAT was written and sketched up long back, but had Hubris dressed in his hat and shorts. I can’t figure out where that came from. The two previous had prepared sketches, but they were off-size and Mr. Biner looked different. Had to redraw those. And there was one cartoon from that version that I had to toss out completely- it no longer fit the mood of the rest of the strips.
Isn’t this behind the scenes stuff fun?
Long story longer, I waded through a lot of stuff so old that it was sorta new to me again. I got to play editor with my own work and be a little objective about it, which is a luxury I won’t have with Hubris much longer. The old originals pile is getting smaller and smaller. Soon, nothing but brand new ideas here in the house o’ Hubris.
Stay tooned.
I… I don’t even have anything to say under this cartoon. It’s nicely self contained, don’t you think? What? Don’t worry. Kara smooths things over.
While you’re waiting for that- Vote Hubris there off to the right. And Google+. And RSS and all that other cool stuff. Spread the Hubris.
The plot… not exactly thickens… but it starts puttin’ on weight.
