I know what you’re thinking.
You’re stunned.
It’s a whole entire Hubris cartoon without any dialogue at all.
None!
It’s weird. I know. There might be some dialogue in Monday’s cartoon.
Y’know, there’s not even a sound effect in this one. Double weird.
I never much like the last mile of my favorite whitewater run.
It’s where the lake starts.
Whitewater becoming lakewater is kinda… anticlimactic.
It’s tough, isn’t it? Waiting around for someone else to finish having fun.
Like taking your kids to the Children’s Museum the day before taxes are due or something.
Solitude. It’s just Gorge-ous.
Get it?
Anyone wanna guess what all that junk is that Hubris has laid out for Saturday?
I grabbed a different brush today. You might not think about high-end watercolor brushes, and the fact that they wear out.
I caught myself working with a newer brush and really enjoying all the snap and the little tiny lines it can make.
Every career has its little things like that- the sort of thing that people in different careers can’t be aware of. That’s fun to think about.
I think I mentioned when this one first ran that it’s pretty much wrung straight from life.
I loved me some whitewater kayaking, and there were some months when I only got to go on one weekend, maybe. And so I got one of those mood-setting CDs (remember CDs?) and put it in the CD player (remember CD players?) and it was sounds of whitewater, more or less. I think it was a two and a half minute loop, though- spun out for an hour.
And yeah… Whitewater sounds like static. Or something being sizzled on a grill. Or… I dunno. It’s white noise. After a while, you don’t even hear it- it’s just for blocking out other sounds.
So maybe I didn’t buy static. Maybe I bought an invisible wall to keep out the sounds of the rest of the world.
Might have been worth it after all.
Surprise! There’s not usually a new cartoon up on Thursdays around here, but this is the fourth of the extra strips I owe you guys for dropping a few bucks in the tip jar (it’s the button on the left hand side of the page that says, “You And Hubris”, for those of you who wish to explore its mysteries)
I’ll have to double check, but we may be nearing time for me to knock out another two extras soon.
Enjoy!
