Day 7 is weapon.. can a peanut be part of the weapon x program?

Comedic hand-drawn cartoon showing a large peanut in a pointed superhero mask and clawed glove declaring "I'M THE BEST AT WHAT I DO," while a smaller peanut in a baseball cap retorts "YOU'RE A PEANUT!"

I can relate. There are days even I don't want to be called an Earthling.

A Weird Wednesday comic showing a young green alien yelling "MOM! Zoof keeps calling me an Earthling — make 'em stooop!" while a smaller alien named Zoof sits nearby giggling uncontrollably.

For "Completely innocent reasons I'm sure… or extortion probably". They would never just keep the things you search for at 3am on record... right?

A Mad Monday comic by Scott Gallatin showing a boy in a baseball cap holding a bat, standing next to a "Coming Soon" sign announcing "Massive storage holding your entire browser search history for completely innocent reasons I'm sure… or extortion probably." He protests: "That field was meant for making baseball memories — not for storing every cat video I've ever watched."

It's been 18 years since I ran this group of comics and when I'm in a funk I go back to them again and again for inspiration. I'm running them on Sundays but if you can't wait that long you read them all now at: www.madscottcomic.com/comic/081120... - Beer Run

Three helmeted, chain‑mailled soldiers overhear someone shouting "Bug Bear" (misheard as "buy beer"), argue about buying beer, then all enthusiastically join to loudly shout "BUG BEAR!!!", turning a beer plea into a punny call for a creature.

Not sure what happened to the Day two post so you get 2 and 3 today. I have reviewed the various #inktober type lists and this year I'm just going to do 30 days of a new comic. It's hand drawn, inked, lettered, and left with all it's glorious flaws in place. So.. here's Nutty. #badcomics #october.

How many summer projects are you carrying into fall? My summer to-do list survived June, July, August, and September. Now we're in October and I have thoughts. Which ones need to be done before snow.

A four-panel black-and-white Madscott comic where Scott laments his unfinished summer projects and growing to-do list before the cold hits. His friend interjects: "By the way, it's October." Scott concludes: "So, I apparently have some fall work to finish."

I have reviewed the various #inktober type lists and decided that this year I'm just going to do 30 days of a new comic I just created yesterday. This comic is a hand drawn, inked, lettered, screwed up and left with it's glorious flaws in place. So.. here's Nutty. #badcomics #october.

Anthropomorphic peanut with droopy eyes and a raised hand stands by a window, delivering the caption "WE'RE NUTS. WE DON'T 'PLAY' OUTSIDE," a deadpan cartoon about peanuts refusing to go outside.

The crew is ready to leave. The universe awaits. But nobody cleared the street taco situation first. If aliens were leaving Earth and could only try ONE thing first, what would you recommend?

A Weird Wednesday comic by Scott Gallatin showing a small orange robot-like alien running after a departing UFO, calling out: "Wait! We can't leave yet — we still haven't tried street tacos!"

but... pointy hat means wizard

New Mad Monday: someone greenlit the Ice Scream drone truck program. Someone is now having second thoughts.

I didn't sleep very well last night.. how about you?

A Madscott comic showing a large angry bear chasing a running blond boy, who calls back: "If you would stop chasing me for a moment — I will be happy to apologize for sleeping in your bed. I thought it was one of those new cave B&B's."

I know that not many people even look anymore but the newspaper is about 4 pages now.

A four-panel black-and-white comic strip in bold cartoon style with halftone diagonal line shading. Scott and his bald round-headed friend are the two characters. Panel 1 (top left): Scott stands alone holding a small piece of paper — clearly just a tiny scrap — looking at it with wide, emotional eyes, his speech bubble reading "UNBELIEVABLE." Panel 2 (top right): His friend approaches and asks "WHAT'S WRONG?" Scott responds "JUST LOOKING AT THE NEWSPAPER." The scrap of paper in his hand is visibly tiny. Panel 3 (bottom left): The friend eyes the minuscule paper skeptically, bubble reading "THAT WOULD EXPLAIN THE TEARS." Scott responds defensively: "YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND." Panel 4 (bottom right): Scott holds up the tiny scrap with a pained expression, delivering the punchline through two bubbles: "WITH EVERYTHING HAPPENING TODAY" and "THIS IS THE ENTIRE NEWSPAPER."

Harold has one solution and he's very committed to it. Let's be honest, some days does Harold's plan sound pretty reasonable.

A Weird Wednesday comic by Scott Gallatin showing two gray aliens — one exasperated, one wearing a blue cap and sunglasses — debating humanity. The first complains "We showed them how to fish, cure disease, harness energy… so why are they still this stupid?" Harold suggests cheerfully: "We could flood them out and start over again sir?"

NEW: @apnews.com confirms that ICE has begun electronically "disappearing" people in the agency's custody who have final orders of removal. As of last week, anyone jailed by ICE with a final order of removal will NOT appear in the ICE Online Detainee Locator System, making them effectively vanish.
