I guess Nikki still doesn’t quite trust Bob’s Earth-Daddy instincts.
Of course, getting Paste to keep an eye on things… maybe we shouldn’t trust Nikki’s Managerial instincts.
Gonna make for quite the outing, don’t you think?

Advertising doesn’t really have ‘logic’. It has ‘fallacies’.
I was taking a logic course, and a marketing course at roughly the same time back in college.
Turns out that the list of fallacies that automatically render a logical argument invalid… is very, very similar to a list of the most popular sales techniques in advertising.
I’ve tried to take a moment and think if the agency that wants Paste to demonstrate how tough their phone cases are is using a fallacy, but… dang it, I don’t think so. Owning a Slobberknocker phone case will protect your phone even if some kid on a skateboard lands on it. That’s a message I can get behind.

And so our hero sets out on new adventures in other places.
There’s no telling when we’ll get to swing back around to his doings.
But as the comic strip is named for him, I suspect it won’t be, like, forever.
I don’t know who’s faltering faster, Nikki or Hubris.
…or who’ll falter faster if they get Margaritas.
I enjoy watching Big Bang Theory now. I came around to it after being told for years that I should watch it.
But I like the way they write the characters. It feels like they’ve got a handle on each character, and the handle isn’t always spelled out, you know? As time goes on, they tease out the different drives behind everyone’s quirks.
And I get to do that here, too. I won’t bother to bore you with WHY everyone behaves the way they do, but you’ve teased out a little about everyone as we go, haven’t you?
And remember, like Sherlock and Dr. Who, the characters are never above lying about to to themselves.
Fun, right?
Sundays are weird. It’s like they’re a different kind of thing than the other six days of the week.
Do you feel that? Or is it just ’cause I’ve been doing comic strips so long that the format change has crept into the feeling of the day itself?
Did you ever listen to the comedy albums that made Bob Newhart famous? He had this thing where he’d do half a conversation, and your brain sort of filled in whatever else was needed.
You might also have wondered why I didn’t weigh in so much when everyone was guessing who called Hubris right before lunch. I figured you needed your three guesses.
