I’ve made a little progress on another Hubris project. Here it is:

Did you see this coming? Last year, did you say, “I wonder when Stanky Creek will raise its shaggy head again?”
Not sure I did, really.
Welcome Back, Mr. Mittleif.
This was almost a Return of the Crossing Guard cartoon, but he’s not nearly as funny as Rick.
If you haven’t already gotten a Stanky Creek book, NOW would be a good time! Clicking HERE would be okay! (if it asks for a password when you click, try ‘hubris’.)
Or, if CreateSpace creeps you out because you don’t know who the heck they are, click HERE and you can work with Amazon. They don’t deliver with drones yet. But then, the U.S. Postal Service never made much of Missile Mail for a lot of the same reasons.
I debuted the book in Charlotte at HeroesCon, and everyone agreed it looked good. The color is a definite plus.
Get a book! Any time you have a chance to see me, I’ll autograph it and doodle in it and be really, really nice to you for buying it.
Thanks!
So, I’m finally admitting that the Stanky Creek book isn’t going to get done with my regular schedule in action. Which means that cartoons I originally thought would only be seen in the book will make some kind of limited appearance… HERE!
Today’s two cartoons have three (count ’em, three) of Team Us making appearances near the beginning of the book.
And away we go…
Here’s the logo for the next Hubris book. Thought you might like to see it.
I was going to return to the photo of the cartoonists around the table, but before I got to it, I scrolled across this photo I’ve been meaning to show you since the middle of summer:
Yeah, it’s a trash can. It’s at Nesbit Park (also known locally as Stanky Creek- you didn’t think I made that up, didja?) I was there to ride the dirt trails early one morning and spotted this. It was interesting enough to me to cause me to take the photo. Anyone else see what I saw?
…
That’s right. The raccoons were going in and out of this thing at some point. Their little foot and handprints are all over it. My brother (hi, Jeff!) had some fascinating stories about raccoons from the times he was a Park Ranger (Hi, Park Rangers who are currently not working unless it’s for free because our congress doesn’t know how to solve problems amongst themselves without resorting to inconveniencing the real world!)
Raccoons, I have decided, are well placed to become the next species to cause worldwide trouble the same way we have. My prediction is that the little snots will discover fire soon, and burn us all out and take our Twinkies (or whatever feeble snack cakes we’ve been reduced to eating since Twinkies don’t really exist any more. And don’t wave those silly anemic little things they call twinkies at me, ’cause they’re NOT. Wrong size. Not a twinkie. Period. Who could ever think otherwise?)
You read it here first, people. When the raccoon uprising begins, remember that I was the prophet of doom who raised the issue for the very first time. Build me a monument on the spot where the hairy little bandits finally corner and quarter me as an example to those who oppose the Raccoon Empire.
Okay, so there’s a little icon on the left hand side of the site that says ‘Outdoor Galore Store’. I usually don’t make much of it here because there are about a dozen designs I’d like to load up , and I always think I’ll take a day to prepare them and then send everyone scurrying over there to take a look.
But I usually get bogged down elsewhere.
Until I got off my butt long enough to ask a buddy of mine to work his magic on a Big Stanky Creek Outdoorfest shirt design. He does stuff for The Boy Scouts, and Drake Waterfowl, and Dagger kayaks, and you get the idea- he does amazing work. Big hand, everyone, for Mr. Mike Womack! (click HERE and see more of his work. Need a fine logo or T-shirt design, anyone?)
So now, if you want to tell everyone that you were a competitor at the Outdoorfest, I’ll back you up. You just need the shirt, and you need to tell a good story about how you wrecked a wagon in the ReadyFlyer Downhill, and crashed into a big fat guy and nearly broke a… whatever bone you like. Your choice.
The back of the shirt is filled with sponsors’ logos- inside gags for those who read the strip, really.
So there you go. Shirts in the store!
I’ll try to have the rest of the new designs soon. I promise. Really.
