The horror has come to our city: ICE has shot a person in Austin this morning. As the facts emerge, I am demanding a full, independent investigation, immediate release of the body camera footage, and accountability for any ICE officer who broke the law.

Cyclists were the primary force behind organized political pressure for better, paved roads before the arrival of cars and drivers. Drivers now think they own the road and oppose safe infrastructure for all other road users. What if tanks started using roads and were crushing cars and people?

Texas has suspended over 1.2 million voter registrations. Many valid voters in Texas have found their voter registrations were somehow canceled when they checked. Check your registration here and fix it immediately - Texas doesn't always honor provisional ballots cast on election day.

Never Learned - Gator Days
Never Learned - Gator Days

Characters

August - Alligator - A soft spoken single father who works in IT. Gustopher's dad.

Gustopher - Alligator - An easily excitable boy who loves making friends. August's son.

Transcript

Panel 1

August is working on something at his computer when Gustopher comes in with a problem.

Gustopher: Dad! The remote isn't working!

August: Change the batteries.

Panel 2

Gustopher: I don't know how to do that.

August is surprised. 

August: Really? How have you never learned how to-

Panel 3

August suddenly stares off into the distance. This could be for a number of reasons. Perhaps he has realized that he's the one who is supposed to show Gustopher how to do these sorts of things. Maybe it's because the prevalence of rechargeable electronics is making the changing of batteries a practice that's slowly going away and August is feeling the pressure of the inevitable passage of time. It could be that he has indigestion. I don't know, I'm not a mind reader. Did you come to the transcript looking for answers? I wish I could give them to you. I personally feel that I'm losing all control of my life and I could use some answers too. I'm sorry, all this rambling feels passive aggressive on my end. We all have problems and worries. Anyway, I've completely lost track of what's going on in this comic.

Panel 4

August has a battery in hand and is showing Gustopher how to swap batteries.

August: So there's a positive and a negative end.

What if I told you that every mention of the word "soccer" need not be met with a correction to "football!", followed by a long and boring argument about the origin of the term and why Americans didn't coin it? Just call it "kickball" as nature intended. World peace is restored. Everyone wins.
