Scrooge from Muppet Christmas Carol: You there, boy! What day is it?

Bean Bunny: Why, it’s Whiskey Friday with Tony Dokoupil, sir!

Scrooge: Then I haven’t missed it!

As an American, I’m formerly inviting any outside regime to kidnap or terminate any criminal leaders of this place.

During a baseball game, an umpire gestures for Spider-man to leave the field. Spider-Man walks away followed an anthropomorphic brick wall who is captured in his webbing net.

Umpire: I'M KICKING YOU OUT OF THE BALL PARK, SPIDEY. AND TAKE THAT WALL WITH YOU! EXIT

Listen, protest however you like. It’s none of my business. But I do immediately think you’re a Nazi if you are carrying the American flag.

Social media and crowdfunding have turned cartoonists into small business tyrants who are unable to show solidarity for workers or other cartoonists.

The act of mass shooting is inherently radical right wing behavior. I don’t need to dissect a manifesto or a profile to know that. Studying a shooter’s politics feels like a nation wide effort to cope with the fact that we’ve given up on any actual gun control policy coming to pass.

I often think of the time some guy tried to run over me and a bunch of protesters outside an ice facility back in 2019. It was clear to me that they would have no issues with killing peaceful protesters. It kinda shifted my mentality on what was actually necessary to stop them.

There’s like a 100% overlap on the venn diagram of liberals who ignore genocide and liberals who defend Charlie Kirk, so no surprises on my end.

Nineteen years ago I dropped out of art school, moved back home, and started working 3rd shift at a local grocery store. The art school I went to treated creative community like a country club.

Two things I care more about than I care to admit have combined to make the worst simulacrum of a comic and/or game piece of all time. I’m genuinely embarrassed for everyone involved. Why does anybody want this stuff? There’s good art being made all the time. Why this?!

Ai is constantly being marketed as neutral or a force of nature, or inevitable. It’s none of those things

Maybe it's because I've spent nearly two decades not getting nominated for stuff, but I genuinely don't understand the energy that goes into being upset about not winning or whatever. I've seen award winning cartoonists come and go, it's not a great indicator of a fulfilling life as an artist.

The precision and consistency you can achieve with the process is much sharper than anything I’ve seen traditional foil stamps do.

In my day job, I’ve been developing a process to add foil elements to covers by using a material called digital foil or sleeking.
