I've read this story a few times since it was posted. It is some really excellent reporting and evocative writing that shows just how a drug price can get so out of control and the damage it does.

Going to try and do #Inktober. Also going to try posting comics to BlueSky finally.
A cartoon based on the Inktober day one prompt "Moustache". Advanced Moustache Techniques. Each style of facial hair is accompanied by a drawing of a blank man's face with the stated style in bolder in.
Pencil: a thin wirey moustache like a pencil line. Quill: half of the pencil 'tache but the other end is styled as a feather. Soup Strainer: a bushy moustache covering the top lip. Spaghetti Strainer: an even bushier moustache with sieve holes in. Goatee: a moustache that wraps around the mouth area ending in a point on the chin. Mountain Goatee: a reverse of the Goatee that travels from filtrum to the top of the skull ending in a majestic peak. Handlebar: a long thick moustache that frames down either side of the mouth. Full Bicycle: it looks like a bike.

Happy smooching season. Here is a comic about dating, kissing, and how Mike Love of The Beach Boys is music's greatest monster.
Third comes marriage. I've been on many bad dates: such as going to a cat cafe full of rescues who were all terrified of human beings so the whole place had an air of tragedy & trauma. A furious ginger cat with their heckles up screeches "so how did you two meet?". Or the time we had three bottles of port in four hours simply because it was "five weeks 'til Christmas". Turns out neither of us actually liked port. A phone scrolls through endless dating profiles of gradually emptying bottles of port. One time a woman asked me out after seeing me do stand-up. We went to dinner and 20 minutes in she said "Oh fuck you're like this off-stage too". Your author SK is pictured as a fat man with glasses and wild brown hair and beard, he is dressed nicely but slumped disappointedly at a dinner table as his date a put together woman awkwardly sips from a bottle of "not port". She thought I was doing a clever character act about a type of person we both hate, when in reality I am just a person we both hate.However my worst choice of date was when I went on a third date to a wedding fayre. The phrase "third date to a wedding fayre" is presented on an elaborate wedding invitation. Our second date was to a graveyard and death didn't do us part so our choice of next date was limited. A row of headstones read: wedding fayre, retirement home, antenatal class, coffee. While at the graveyard my date made a CREATURE out of discarded trash we found including: headless teddy bear, plastic flowers from a bin, weird cross from a grate, burnt out noseless doll's head covered in swastikas. There is then a drawing of that creature which be thankful you cannot see.We thought we'd have fun at the fayre, blend in with the crowds, make bets on which couples would divorce first, drown ourselves in free samples, use those samples to create a new monster. An artist's impression of what such a monster would like with the decapitated teddy bear being encased inside a wedding cake, holding sugared almonds, and wearing a veil over a head of roses.
But when we arrived we were the only ones there. Me and my date are pictured tiny and still at the end of long rows of vendors clammering to get to us. All eyes were on us immediatedly & intensely, like a puppy getting on a train, overwhelmed by the attention and unable to comprehend the speed we're moving at. A drawing of said puppy, shy and retreating from many grasping hands.We were not prepared for this. We didn't even know each other's last names. So I just started answering questions antagonistically; "do you have a date yet?" was met with an aggressive "I like December but SOMEONE doesn't think winter is romantic." Me and my date argue in front a dejected staller "I just think it's too cold to have it outdoors" my date pleads while I sassily snap "I keep telling you you can't get frostbite twice!".
Our second mistake was not eating beforehand, they had enough free champagne for hundreds of guests, also my date didn't drink, so we were three stalls deep and I'd already drunk my weight in free booze, and in champagne terms my weight is a magnum (heavy on the bottom with a breakable neck). I am pictured next to a champagne bottle labelled "not port", I am very curvy and doing a silly little sexy pose showing off said heavy bottom.
So I was making increasingly ridiculous requests like having a giant bowl of spaghetti because it's MY wedding and thus my God-given right to Lady & Tramp the guests. I am sat cross-legged beneath a bowl of spaghetti & meatballs the size of a small house, I am dressed in a tux and have hearts in my eyes as a noodle dangles from my mouth and a queue of wedding guests line-up to enjoy their meal/smooch.

Similar to the 'defcon' system, the Mambo scale decreases with severity. Contrary to expectation Mambo No. 5 indicates, in fact, a normal state of Mambo - the most severe would be Mambo No. 1.

A comic of pre-cursors to roller disco. The "hot-rod lindy hop" has two 1950s teenagers dancing on the roof of a classic car. The "bi-plane charleston" has a flapper girl and her escort jiveing on the wings of a flying plane. The "penny farthing two step" has two victorian lovers embracing atop duelling penny farthings. The "horseback waltz" is a regency couple atop upright bipedal horses attempting an elegant waltz. The "riverboat bangle walk" has three women of ancient egypt on a long riverboat doing the famous waitress dance from The Bangles' 1980s hit song.

A comic of Faux Pas: things that I have mistaken for my father.
An old jumper that smells of ash. A stack of military history novels. Angry static from an AM radio. A golf club with a moustache. A hammer I haven't seen in years. An emotionally distant ship in a bottle. An oil spill in the shape of a frown. Any man that refuses to hug me.

A cartoon of hard to swallow pills. One is too spiky. One is literally on fire. One is far too long. One is made of glass. One is always flying. And one seems normal but is the size of an elephant and very far away.

Happy Gay Halloween. Part 1/2.
Title card for a comic called Horror Movie Villains Gayer Than The Babadook. Written in a drippy horror typeface except for the word "gayer" which is lit up like a Broadway sign.Freddy Hearts Jason. Freddy Kruger and Jason Vorhees embrace as they passionately suck face. Freddy's long claw tenderly tracing the cheek of his lover. Awww.Leather Daddy Face. Leather Face from Texas Chainsaw Massacre wielding their chainsaw and iconic flesh mask, but they set the whole outfit off with a skimpy leather BDSM number. Sexy and chic.The Two Mummies. A pair of lesbian mothers who also happen to be ancient undead mummies have risen from the tomb to take a nice family photograph with their bouncing baby boy.
