The Bums Rush


The Bums Rush comic
[[Pointing at face. Grimace. Mo looking on.]] Humphry: Okay, so first, you make this face. Humphry: Note the teeth. The teeth are important. [[Some art writing for growl.]] Humphry: Next, you need a threatening noise. Humphry: I prefer a low growl, but I've heard shrieking works just as well. [[Making strange arms.]] Humphry: The finishing touch: monster claws. Humphry: Locked elbows. Undulating knuckles. Humphry: You're a beast on the hunt. [[Mo, walking past Hobo Joe shrieking.]] Humphry: Executed properly, my method guarantees no hobo in his right mind asks you for money.

This comic is inspired by, and therefore dedicated to, my father. He invented “the bums rush” during a family vacation in Ottawa (his threatening noise being pained breathing). Money-grubbing hobos roam wild up there (though “roam” may be too active a verb for what they do). In my memory, it didn’t seem to work and he was solicited anyway. Considering my dad is well over six feet tall, I take this as an affirmation that the homeless are generally insane.
