The post 2020 GOP was a decrepit husk. But a husk does not collapse like a building. It was a snake shedding its skin as a newborn political Right. Collapse happens all at once. A new snake crawls into the world with its new skin slowly, January 6th continues.

Posting this as a general FYI because I can tell you from experience that working with veterans to tell their stories is just incredibly rewarding But also if you’re an animator and want to work with me on 3-5 min shorts to tell stories of women/PoC purple heart recipients for this, please HMU

Calling All Creatives!

I’m looking for a few awesome volunteers to help support the Military Order of the Purple Heart (MOPH) with social media content, especially short videos and eye-catching graphics.

If you have a knack for Canva, reels, TikToks, or just love bringing stories to life visually, I’d love to work with you! This is a great way to support veterans and their families while building your creative portfolio.

Projects are flexible and remote. Perfect for students, freelancers, or anyone looking to give back. You'll be part of a meaningful mission honoring Purple Heart recipients

You can contact Beth at socialmedia@purpleheart.org

Thank you!

STEPPERS was just funded on Kickstarter, with 2 hours to spare! Not even close. ;) Thank you to all that supported our campaign.

Kickstarter for STEPPERS, a graphic novel, was just funded. In the right corner is the Project We Love badge from Kickstarter, with the cover of the book in the center. On the cover is Mickey Mouse, Jay Bird, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit and Karma Dog, with ominous eyes in a plume of dark smoke in the sky.

I have wondered if the New York Times has been acting as handmaidens of fascism because the paper's leaders find it appealing, but now I'm wondering how many people with prominent positions there are just genuinely stupid.

This is how an authoritarian president in 1918 dealt with political cartoonists who pissed him off. From the new book, a true story of cartoonists, oppression, vigilantes, spies, and communists!

My name is Clyde, the co-creator of STEPPERS, a comic that delves into themes of scarcity, economic turmoil, and our complex relationship with art and identity. It asks questions about political resistance against violent systems that alienate us from feeling accountability. Relevant? idk, maybe

The comic page is composed of four panels, rendered in a grayscale, noir-inspired style.

Top Panel: A vintage-style car, driven by a mouse character, approaches a crosswalk at night. Sitting beside the driver is a crow character. Both appear serious as they observe a figure crossing the road ahead. The figure, a hooded character carrying a large, blank sign, walks briskly with their face turned away.

Second Panel: A closer view reveals the hooded figure holding a protest-style sign that reads, "THE END IS NEAR." The figure's expression is obscured by their hood and dark sunglasses, adding an air of mystery and foreboding.

Third Panel: The mouse driver’s face is shown in a close-up, their expression one of wide-eyed shock or concern as they watch the hooded figure. The framing emphasizes the mouse's emotional reaction.

Bottom Panel: The hooded figure is now stationary, holding their sign down. The reverse side of the sign is revealed, reading, "Need a couple bucks for food. God bless." Their stance and demeanor suggest weariness or resignation.

The page creates a striking contrast between the dramatic proclamation on one side of the sign and the mundane, desperate plea on the other, blending social commentary with visual tension.

This comic page consists of four panels, blending a dark narrative tone with a retro cartoon aesthetic.

Top Left Panel: A mouse character, wearing a cap, is shown mopping the floor in what appears to be a mundane, institutional setting. A framed picture of a dog hangs on the wall, hinting at a theme of control or confinement. The narration reads: "The beauty is that a sick dog doesn’t have to be put in a cage."

Top Right Panel: A large dog character, exaggeratedly cheerful, licks an ice cream cone. The narration continues: "...taking up air, space, and sympathy," juxtaposing the carefree dog with a biting commentary on complacency or dependency.

Bottom Left Panel: A dramatic close-up of the dog’s face, wide-eyed and tongue out, conveys a mix of panic and vulnerability. The narration reads: "’Til one day he just up and dies of his own volition," underscoring a grim inevitability.

Bottom Right Panel: The scene shifts to a silhouette of the dog, possibly as a poster or advertisement, displayed in a window. A cheerful character, holding a sign that reads "Scream for Ice Cream," sits in front, seemingly oblivious to the dark undertone. The final narration states: "Guess that’s what they call freedom," offering a stark, cynical reflection.

This page delivers a sharp critique, using the contrast between the upbeat imagery and the grim narration to provoke thought on themes of control, agency, and resignation.

This comic page has a biting, satirical tone with sharp visual storytelling and commentary.

Top Left Panel: A close-up of a mouse character’s mouth delivers an emphatic dialogue: “Medicine to pacify you!” The panel conveys anger or disdain, setting the stage for a critique of societal control disguised as compassion.

Middle Left Panel: The mouse character holds a book titled "Plaything," featuring a silhouette of a provocative figure on the cover. The narration continues, “To turn you into that pitiful dying lump in the gutter,” implying manipulation or exploitation disguised as care.

Middle Right Panel: A zoomed-in view of a thumb with a noticeable sore or wound. A speech bubble questions angrily, “Is that what compassion is, Jay?!?” The injury adds to the tension, possibly symbolizing harm inflicted by a system pretending to help.

Bottom Panel: A large capsule labeled "Hardonlapin (cyanide)" dominates the frame, accompanied by fine print, likely mimicking a pharmaceutical ad disclaimer. Below, the mouse character’s shocked expression while reading the book reinforces the grim realization of false promises. The narration concludes: “Seems to me that compassion never was,” delivering a chilling critique of toxic compassion masked as assistance.

This page combines sharp dialogue with visually striking elements to explore themes of manipulation, disillusionment, and the darker side of societal systems.

I’ve got so much praise to throw at Ice Cream Man. It’s a comic that is such a clear love letter to the medium and is consistently trying to outdo itself and take risks. Every new issue I’m just so impressed with how much creativity is packed into each one, given the constraints of the one shot

So far so good. First two episodes feel similar in tone to Suicide Squad and Peacemaker but with its own unique flavor of monsters and magic. Also digging the Gogol Bordello love, saw them live as an opener for System of a Down like a decade ago
