“The backstage area is for walking participants only.” 🤬 Whatever WorldCon person said that should never be allowed anywhere near a con again. WorldCon has proven yet again to be ableist AF. *sigh* Just because we’re disabled doesn’t mean we’re less than. Argh. 🤬

I'm down to the last nine copies of this ISS Cat print, so if you want one, please order soon. It's in my shop along with other prints, badges and a zine: www.tomgauld.com/

A view of the International Space Station floating in the stars above the earth. A cat in a space suit floats outside. An astronaut within the station looks out of a window and says "In? But I just let you out."

How unexepected stories succeed for me, a brief visual example

Horace the Horse strip - Panel 1 "I ordered a pizza. Soon there was a knock at the door." Panel 2 "I opened the door. There stood a kid with a banjo." Panel 3 "It wasn't delivery. It was 'deliverance'"

My latest cartoon for @newscientist.com

A figure stands in a barren landscape; reaches for the lever on a large, eccentric contraption covered in wires, pipes, dials and buttons; looks over towards two figures inside a bunker and says:

"'Trust me, it's safe' would sound a lot more reassuring if you weren't saying it from inside a concrete bunker."

Someone noted that misogyny is probably the best predictor of any male violence, and that seems so obviously a truth.

What do you think Trump would have to do for the Justice Department to finally say, "Whoa, no, that's going too far?" Pull out a gun and shoot an innocent bystander on 5th Ave? I bet they'd claim the pedestrian had tried to "weaponize their vehicle" and deserved it.

I would give a million bucks to any reporter who, the next time Trump calls Democrats communists, asks him why his biggest political allies and the rulers he admires most are the most powerful communists on Earth—Putin, Xi, and Kim Jong Un.
