Hubris- Only Six

Apr17

by Greg Cravens on April 17, 2020 at 1:00 am

Chapter: Comic

I like cartoons where something is repeated.

This is a gentle stab at it. The first example that I can recall using in Hubris cartoons is when Kara first introduces Hubris to her dad. I even worked in a synonym, so I could wedge in more repetitions. I don’t recall how many repetitions it was back then and I’m too lazy to go find out. Plus, that was way back when Hubris was a horizontal cartoon strip, and there wasn’t as much room for dialogue. Maybe there were four or five. Maybe six. I can sorta picture using more, but…

Hubris- Circling Back

Chapter: Comic

Quick, who remembers what Mal is referring to?

Someone should have reminded him there was a Non-Disclosure Agreement with his name on it somewhere in the bowels of Sportsmart.

You guys remember, right? It wasn’t THAT long ago, was it?

Hmmmmm. Maybe it WAS.

Just advancing the story a bit, today.

Have I said where the three guys are from yet?

Yes, they’re a parody of aliens from an old Star Trek story, but they’re also… well, you’ll see.

Hubris- Legally speaking…

Nov13

by Greg Cravens on November 13, 2018 at 12:01 am

Chapter: Comic

Well, We lost Stan Lee today. He was 95, and I’d had a conversation recently about whether anyone could expect him to live a lot longer or a little longer. Of course, variations on that conversation have happened for a decade now. It would have been really cool if he’d made it to 100, wouldn’t it?

He made a big, big figure in the world of comic books, that’s for sure. Even if we’d been lamenting his loss ten years ago, people would still be talking about what an amazing life he’d had. The fact that he added to his reputation and his place in the comics verse all the way up to his last days is astounding.

Salute!

Hubris- Options

Chapter: Comic

Look how hard I make it for these imaginary people to compete and how easy I’m making it for you guys!

I’ve received several more entrants since posting the application again. If you haven’t applied, you can scroll down, and make the Herculean effort required to download, fill out, and attach a photo to the application while still retaining the ability to email the thing to me afterward. That’s so easy compared to these poor lost souls that Paste can’t fit onto his coattails.

Hubris- Did You Count Them?

Apr24

by Greg Cravens on April 24, 2018 at 12:01 am

Chapter: Comic

The title today comes from an entertaining exchange that Douglas Adams wrote between Zaphod Beeblebrox and Ford Prefect.

They were on a ship, diving into a sun. Zaphod asks how many escape pods there are, and Ford says, “None.”

Zaphod, his mind clearly elsewhere, says, as best as I can recall “None? Did you count them?”

To which Ford says, “Yes. Twice.”

They do escape death in a burning ship, though.

Hubris- No-Call List

Feb02

by Greg Cravens on February 2, 2018 at 12:01 am

Chapter: Comic

I’m on that No Call list, but I don’t think that “Bill from Microsoft” (I don’t think his name is really Bill.) has access to that list. Him, or that robot lady who keeps calling saying that she’s with my credit card company. Robot ladies apparently don’t know the name of my actual credit card company.
