The Hub
Author notes
Ch. 3 - Pg. 8
HyenaHell onNew incentive, at last! Cartoony belly-dancin' chick.

I made a little mistake in drawin' this one. See if y'all can catch it.

RE: That first panel: Yeah, landscapes ain't my specialty so glad y'all think I pulled it off. Water especially ain't my specialty, especially not in pen and ink.
RE: The lake: It's kinda like here in New Orleans where we'd pick up beer and go to the levee on the Riverbend (no, it ain't one of them famous collapsible ones, thankfully). So it's half based on the Mississippi at a couple of them particularly grungy parts, and half on them East Coast rivers, like the Hudson and the Deleware and that one what runs through Baltimore…
***
@Drasnus: Yeah, you'd think.
@Kristen: Sometimes I get annoyed at how slowly the details of how the Hub works/is put together/etc. come out. But it's somethin' I chose to do deliberately- I figured it'd be more organic that way. But I'm always anticipatin' folks askin' questions about seemingly improbable or impossible points- such as, if the Hub is a completely enclosed city, with no connection to anything whatsoever… How the fuck do they get stuff like cars and phones and groceries? I mean, not all of it can possibly be produced in such a small place, right? And of course, the answer emerges eventually. And is completely absurd.
@darkwaterfrey: Well, maybe. Cal says he's wrong. But ya gots t' figure something's keepin' folks stuck there, right?
@patrickdevine: FUCK YEAH. "The beer that made Milwaukee famous!" with "Just a kiss of the hops!" The motto for "Schitz" beer, by the way (you can't read it at this size) is "Get Schitz-faced!"
@Peipei: Yeah, nobody gets cut no slack here. They're all a bunch of jerks. ;)
@repoman: It'll get explained eventual.
@Custard Trout: I think I've swam in many a "clothes dissolving" lake. For better or for worse. Whiskey may have been involved on most counts.

Dear Hyena,
Thanks so much for responing, making more clear the Planet World in Witch We and our friends occupy or will occupy. I can speak first hand on some personal observations ( Not to forget Pete Seger or the Clearwater
Group who spent more than 40 years checking and fighting, to return the Hudson to drinkable status.
Hurricane Katrina Brought to light the Massive Results Climate can do to coastal land Massey's. General Electric fought against the Hudson Rivers cleanup ,turning around the progress Clearwater Achived.
A few of us ( a lot ) would drink beer on the High Ground of Manhattan Island, found in Northern Manhattan:)
Your depictions, are to say again, so accurate you should consider a job at the American Museum of Natural History:)

The setting goes very well with the dialogue. Great mood.

Actually, depending on how Vic viewed his previous life, this could be a really good or really bad thing. Could be depressing… or it could be the perfect chance for a new start!
…any second now, sunshine will come barreling out of my ass, and then we're all in trouble.

I s'pose you could always go the opposite way from suicidal and become a psychopathic killer. Might not necessarily be the best choice, but hey, at least it's something.
By the way, your water looks just fine. Kicks my water's ass.

I had to change the incentive on account of the file got removed for "violatin' the terms of service" with its semi-nakedness. Seriously, there was like, half a nipple showin'. I'll upload it to my DD files and post it another time. Fuckin' prudes.

wow…I love the change from light to dark. Marvelous!

Those middle three panels gave me an awesome 'King of the Hill' vibe/moment :)
Wicked stuff.

Eh, plenty of life in our own dimension can seem like waiting to die if you're not living it. Cantankerous old man trying to suck the fun out of things. :P
