Dislike em all you want, I'm a life long Dem, I hate them, I just hate the religious zealot Nazis more. The economy and the national mood are better under Dems.

the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches

Being a cartoonist means one week staying up late drawing hands. The next week you're up trying to write a metaphor for disappointment.

It appears that this legend owns a little bookstore — and you can order books from him instead of Bezos. Link in next post.

As someone whose job depends on the ability to predict what people will want to read 18 months from now, I'm amazed there is a whole class of op-ed writers who have built long and lucrative careers off of being late to the party

Someone posted one of these Frank King Gasoline Alley originals on ig the other day and I was moved to look up more. These are from 1925, 1926 and then one from 1951. These blew my mind. I guess doing a Gasoline Alley deep dive this winter.

if dems want messaging help, stop telling people you're "fighting back." it sounds like you're being mugged. call off the podcaster search, take your ridiculous money pile and try opening some food banks and free clinics. hurricanes are coming and the feds have no plan. looks like an opening to me.

Part of my continuing effort to reintroduce Carmine Infantino-caption hands into comics vocabulary! So far, I think I’m all alone in this… (Getting close to finishing this little comic intro to the book on teaching with Unflattening)
A little bit of a comics page with two caption boxes and hands emanating from them adding to the narrative content

This November post aged poorly. Following Charlie Kirk’s own reasoning, yesterday’s SpaceX spaceship explosion is a “metaphor” and “harbinger” for the forthcoming Trump presidency. (Note that Kirk said that SpaceX was one failed rocket launch away from bankruptcy.) 1/
