#CoyoteVsAcme is filled with a ton of jokes & a ton of heart but two moments in particular—a book the Coyote is reading and a spray they use on one character—made me laugh-shout in the theater to a level beyond my control. Bravo to everyone who made this joyous movie happen.

In Nolan's Odyssey, the sirens sing about "all the promises you never kept", which means their song to me would be at least partially about offering someone a ride back to Chicago from a contra dance weekend in Madison WI & then leaving without them because their goodbyes were taking too long

In this week's @sevendaysvt.bsky.social! It's okay if we don't know everything about Patricia. Let's enjoy that we have Patricia at all. #cartoon #television

A couple sits on the couch, the credits of a concluded show playing on their nearby TV. One of them says, “What a perfect finale to a perfect season of television. All that’s left is to come up with a million little theories to make future episodes impossible to enjoy.”

One Boingo hotspot & suddenly you've lost everything. In this week's @sevendaysvt.bsky.social 😢✈️🛜

A haggard-looking man sits on the sidewalk with his fedora placed before him to collect donations from the people walking past. Next to him is a sign reading ‘SERIES OF MISFORTUNES SET IN MOTION BY USING FREE AIRPORT WI-FI’.

With all the #Frankenstein talk being thrown around, please enjoy this story of another writer present for Lord Byron's scary-story contest. (It goes badly.) 🏰🖊️

I'd love a pin to wear that signals "There's no need to interact with me, retail person. No smile, no chit chat. You can ignore me. You SHOULD ignore me."

Every @npr.org affiliate I listen to now in “we’re not kidding around” fundraising mode. (Also it’s fun to draw big phones). #cartoon

A fund drive scene, with a nerdy guy holding a mic & looking out at us, an array of desks behind him with staff talking into phones that are 10 times their normal size. The nerdy guy says “With recent changes, our fund drive is more important than ever. So we’ve switched to really big phones.”

Happy final trailer day to those who celebrate! #wicked 🧙‍♀️👸

A couple sits on a couch having a meaningful conversation, holding hands. One of them says “If you’re not prepared to emotionally support me through the ‘Wicked’ sequel being released this fall, I need to know now.”

In today's @sevendaysvt.bsky.social! Inspired by bear encounter earlier this year. #cartoon #bear

An enormous bear stands patiently next to a hiker, who scrolls on his phone while saying “Hang on — I’m positive there’s an online mnemonic about how to react to you.”

In a recent @sevendaysvt.bsky.social! Shout-out to the ONLY type of pizza delivery box I saw during my Long Island youth. #cartoon #pizza #inclusivity

A title over the cartoon reads “SUPPORTIVE PIZZA BOXES”. Below this, a standard pizza delivery box with an old guy in a chef’s hat giving the “chef’s kiss” gesture. The top text on the box says “YOU’VE TRIED ALL THE REST...” but the bottom text has a note taped over it, reading “...AND THEY’RE ALL PERFECTLY VALID AND DELICIOUS OPTIONS.”

NPR is dear to my heart and after @arnieniekamp.bsky.social pointed out my tendency to recommend Fresh Air episodes, I’ve realized it’s about 90% of my personality. As lawmakers attempt to defund it, some @npr.org cartoons:

A helicopter is delivering a tote bag the size of a house to someone’s front door. A representative from Public Radio tells the occupant, “We really, really appreciate your generous donation.”

A radio interviewer is sitting near a microphone with a composed young woman. Behind them sits what looks like a pirate with parrots on his shoulder, holding a French horn. The interviewer says “My next guest is a thoughtful, promising young poet, but if that falls flat, we have a backup.”

A public radio announcer talks into a microphone in a studio, saying, “A quick reminder: while my voice may sound measured and reassuring, the actual news is still total batshit.”

It's Cartoon Covers day where New Yorker cartoonists "cover" each other's work, and I had the great pleasure of trying out the supreme badassery of @ngoziu.com! Original on the right. Follow #nyercartooncovers to see them all.

The Justice League are all trying to take down a giant robot. In the middle of this, Green Lantern John Stewart holds a folder of papers and shouts "Look, just because we're in the middle of something doesn't mean we can't approve last week's meeting minutes and vote on the budget!"

The Justice League are standing amidst the wreckage of some concluded battle. Green Lantern John Stewart addresses everybody: "OK, I'm just gonna say it: The only time the league gets together is during catastrophes. We do not have enough time to discuss and vote on a budget during catastrophes."

(every #severance thread I'm seeing right now) Ok, I’ll be unpacking that last ep for years. Anyone struggling with the mysteries of this show: try Bluey, this is NOT for you. Can’t get into ALL things I instinctively intuited from this episode, but some reactions: (1/6)

Saw in a post office & the sheer incongruity with the world right now left me no choice but to buy them

From a Dec '24 issue of @sevendaysvt.bsky.social (Wow, does that seem like a long time ago.) #cartoon #wildlife #hubris 🦌♟️🦌

Two deer are sitting in armchairs and playing chess in the middle of a winding road. One asks, "Are we getting cocky?"

The industrious @ngoziu.com created a starter pack of NYer cartoonists! Follow people who have many, many more published cartoons than me! (It's not a contest / success looks different to everyone / scavenger hunt not marathon / life is a highway) ✒️🍌❤️ #cartoons

During the holiday season, remember that some people are on their own with very few visitors. If you get a chance, reach out & try to learn how they achieved this
