I haven’t drawn a gag cartoon in over a year, so it was nice to find out that this one popped up in The Wall Street Journal! Thanks for the heads up, @lynnihsu.bsky.social.

Working out the main character’s cat, Thunderpaws, who is quite a character himself. This is my favorite doodle of the morning. Who said that all cats are elegant? Mine’s a total goofball.

Librarians! Zine-Makers! This new Temporary Services zine (made with @doormouse12.bsky.social) is for you! We interviewed 4 public librarians that maintain zine collections and the result is a beautiful 44 page booklet. See and learn how they do it! $10.00 (or $3.00 PDF) from www.halfletterpress.com
From the front and back cover of the booklet:

Public Librarians Discuss Zine  Collections

We asked librarians at four public libraries to talk about their library’s zine collection. What advice can they share with zine makers that want to get their work into a public library, or librarians that want to start a collection at their library? Was it hard to convince others that zines are a resource that the library should collect? What collecting models did they follow? How did they build the collection?  

Interviewees:

Tim Devin / Somerville Public Library 
 (Somerville, MA)
Angi Brzycki & Ziba Pérez / 
Los Angeles Public Library 
(Los Angeles, CA)
Alicia Tate / Multnomah County Library 
(Portland, OR)

A three panel comic done in mostly a blue-purple ink. Frame 1: The artist, a tired person with their hair in a bun and a bag on their shoulder standing in the awning of a bus shelter. There's an ad on it that says "STOP HIRING HUMANS", above a woman whose face has been replace with the word "AI".
Frame 2: The bus comes, it's wrapped in an ad that also says "STOP HIRING HUMANS." The artist has a blank look. 
Frame 3: A plane has now arrived above the bus and the human. It's carrying an ad banner that also says "STOP HIRING HUMANS".

Screenshot of an X post by Kelly (@broadwaybabyto, 11h) saying: “Remember how much noise we made for Colbert and Kimmel when they were being silenced? Make that noise for Don Lemon. Make it for Georgia Foot. We need their voices, their courage & bravery.” The post quote-tweets philip lewis (@Phil_Lewis_, 11h) saying Don Lemon spoke outside the courtroom after release and won’t be silenced. Below is a video thumbnail showing Don Lemon speaking to media outdoors; a chyron reads “DON LEMON ADDRESSES MEDIA AFTER COURT,” with “BREAKING NEWS” and “LIVE” graphics.
