This is not a good time for Oregon to fuck around and elect a Republican (Drazan) for governor. And Tom McCall is long gone.

The life of Jim Bakker gives credence to the idea God has a sense of humor. Bakker was his own parody.

The confirmed #measles count in Pennsylvania has topped 1,000. Important to note that confirmed cases make up only a portion of all cases, especially given infections among PA's Amish community probably do not come to public health's attention in many cases. app.powerbigov.us/view?r=eyJrI...

It’s so weird how when you tell the rest of the world to go fuck itself and fill your nation’s streets with gangs of armed, masked, and unaccountable armed thugs and terrorize people at the border…that people will decide to vacation elsewhere. Who could have guessed?

In March 2003 I remember the Phoenix local media was all rah-rah "countdown to war" without questioning it. They even had segments comparing Phoenix to Baghdad.

"An ambulance was seen arriving at the prison where Pike was to be executed and then leaving. Medical aid was being administered, according to online federal court records." The utter absurdity of the state trying twice to kill someone and then calling an ambulance. We must end the death penalty.

The owner of this pickup I saw at the DEQ today has a Second Amendment fetish.
A black pickup truck with a Second Amendment American flag decal on the side window. "2A" is where the stars are supposed to be. "Oregunian" is written on the outer edge. There's a small American flag on the roof. Two small fire extinguishers are on the back of the truck.

Someone pointed out that any time a Republican accuses Dems of sexual deviancy, you know what they’re going to get caught doing themselves, which makes me think people should keep Tuberville away from any college football mascots. And just to be safe, Gritty.

Today in 1959, Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev posed for photographers with President Dwight D. Eisenhower at Camp David, unaware the flagstone deck he was standing on had been built to conceal the recently enlarged presidential emergency relocation facility located directly under Aspen Lodge.

Pen, watercolor, black & white charcoal pencil.

Another featured piece from the Spooky Pants book.

A man in a sweater stands with his hands on his hips looking out of a large window with the curtains open. Things aren’t looking good outside, reader. A massive winged demon is emerging from the clouds as dozens of little ghosts and bone demons rip through the sky. On the ground below we see townsfolk running through the grass. Our man in the window is in no mood for this. He lets us know, “Oh, I am in no mood for this.” His dog looks out the window as well, wagging its tail. 

Fantasia (1940) inspired drawing. I think I could’ve gone a little heavier with the chaos outside but we’ll try again with fresh drawings this October. I like how the clouds turned out. Trying to balance my sloppy lines with more detail can be tricky but I think we achieved a good result.
