working on a little something...

Two panels of a zine.

Panel One:

First caption reads: "When you see the Trump regime do horrible things, do you ever yell..." Then you see a drawing of a frustrated/angry person throwing up their hands and yelling "SHUT IT ALL DOWN!" Second caption reads: "Me too!"

Panel Two:

Text: That's why you and I are joining MAY DAY STRONG!

Image is a photo of people at a demonstration raising their fists, which have been outlined with heavy white line with power sparks coming off of them. Above that image is the Rosie the Riveter word balloon reading "We Can Do It!" Beneath that are the words: "On May 1, 2026!"

A comic about New York's election matching funds, and the comptroller's race (they're connected, I swear):

Text along bottom of first page (but there doesn’t have to be a specific space for it; this is just for when it’s a separate piece): ©2026 by Michael Goodwin. Art by Ian Akin and Brian Garvey. No affiliation with any campaign.

Title: One Solution

Panel: Narrator looks at his laptop. We see his face and the laptop from behind. He’s shocked and upset. A whirlwind is going on outside; we can see it in the window (it takes up the whole window, it’s not in the distance).

Caption: Now it’s early February of 2026, and, well, things haven’t let up.
From laptop: “It’s okay, I’m not mad at you.”
SFX from laptop: BANGBANGBANG
From laptop, in another word balloon: “Fucking bitch!”
Arrow to the balloons coming from laptop: ICE killing Renee Good, January 7.

Source: A decent description of the exchange is here: https://www.wired.com/story/the-campaign-to-destroy-renee-good/

Panel: A caption box.

Caption: So let’s take a break and look at a real cause for hope: New York State has found a way to fight big money in elections.

Panel: The big donors from before, dropping money on all the institutions. We don’t see the Congress.

Caption: Big money in elections isn’t our only problem.
Caption by all the institutions that aren’t politicians: Heck, it’s not our only problem with big money. . . .

Panel: This chart, but the x-axis labels change; “1” is 2000, “2” is 2004, and so on up to 2024. The data labels shouldn’t cross the line either. My Excel skills are poop.

Caption: But it is a big problem.
Small text below chart: Data presentation courtesy of Nathan Kalmoe. Reproduced in modified form.

Source: from https://americansfortaxfairness.org/billionaires-buying-elections-theyve-come-to-collect/. This is actually just Federal election spending.

Panel: Some regular people speak. They look unimpressed.

Caption: New York’s solution: matching funds for donations up to $250* in state and local elections.
Person 1: Okay?
Person 2: That’s nice, I guess?
Footnote text: *Per cand…

Panel: A person, an outline of New York State, and a candidate (like, maybe she has a “Vote for me” sign?). One $10 bill is going from the person to the state, and then seven $10 bills (or a stack marked $70) to the candidate.

Caption: That sounds lame, but it’s not—the match is crazy generous.
In the NY state outline: 6 to 1 match

Source: https://pcfb.ny.gov/candidate-committee-services; https://pcfb.ny.gov/system/files/documents/2026/01/pcfb-handbook-revised-2025-final_5.pdf

Panel: A chart showing these data, except that the bars are labeled 2020, 2022, and 2024 (I think it would look better if the legend labels (“From PACs” and so on) are to the right of the last bar, next to the part they refer to, instead of in a legend, but I can’t make Excel do that).

Chart title: Sources of donations in New York State legislative races
Caption: The new funds were first available in the 2024 election cycle.
Caption by or arrow to first 2 bars (maybe the yellow and grey parts are circled somehow?): And while 2020 and 2022 were the usual story—big money buying our elections. . . .
Caption by or arrow to last bar: 2024 was different.
Source: https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/new-york-states-public-campaign-financing-program-empowers-constituent

Panel: Mamdani looks happy. A crowd of billionaires are on the left, looking at him angrily. We don’t need to see each one, just a crowd. If we do see any, then Bill Ackman, Ronald and William Lauder, Barry Diller, Dan Loeb, and/or Alice Walton.

Caption: In 2025, the usual New York City power brokers poured crazy money on Andrew Cuomo, their toady mayoral candidate, and they lost anyway.
Arrow: Zohran Mamdani, the new mayor. Even with matching funds (in NYC the match is 8 to 1) he raised less than Cuomo, but the money he did raise was enough.

Source: Crazy money: more than $40 million according to this: https://www.cnbc.com/2025/10/30/mamdani-cuomo-nyc-mayor-bid-billionaire-spending.html. Toady: In the…

Panel: Jeffries and Schumer, looking like Droopy Dog again. Some protesters are yelling at them.

Caption: The same machine that gave us these saps, who (deliberately or not) block real opposition to Trump.
People: Abolish ICE! Abolish ICE!
Jeffries: We hear you. You want us to give ICE more money.
Schumer: Don’t forget to donate.

Source: The more money would be for training, as if that would help; see, e.g., here: https://therealnews.com/renee-good-killing-dems-ice-reforms

Panel: Uncle Sam is sitting on a toilet, looking relieved. We don’t need to see his bare ass—maybe just the top of the tank behind him—but it should be clear what he’s doing (that is, he’s been constipated but he’s just taken a massive dump.)

Caption: If the state matching funds applied to federal races, we could be confident of clearing these blockages this year (Jeffries) and in 2028 (Schumer).
Sam: Aah.

Panel: Schumer and Jeffries again, in the same low-energy positions, but now they have grins on their faces. Money is raining down on them.

Caption: But they don’t, so we’ll have to fight the full power of big money in both cases.

https://pcfb.ny.gov/program-overview

Panel: Mamdani and Kathy Hochul looking all buddy buddy.

Caption: By contrast, the funds do apply to the governor’s race, which may be why Governor Kathy Hochul has suddenly been a lot more responsive (in some ways at least).
Mamdani: Child care for all!
Hochul: Yes!

https://www.nyc.gov/mayors-office/news/2026/01/mayor-mamdani---governor-hochul-to-launch-free-child-care-for-tw; includes the phrase “The Governor is committing to fully fund the first two years of the city’s implementation.”

Panel: Some rich people yell or wail; maybe one is clutching her pearls. The word balloon and text should be prominent in some way (like, drawn instead of lettered).

Caption: Now: you’ve already probably thought of the big objection to generous matching funds like these:
Rich people: How will you pay for it?

Panel: Narrator speaks. He looks a bit unnaturally happy.

Caption: The answer is simple:
Narrator: By making politicians more responsive to voters!

Panel: Silly beings like unicorns, puppies, teddy bears, and so on frolic in a land of rainbows and candy canes and so on. One of the teddy bears is starting to dig with one of those kiddy beach shovels.

Caption: And okay, that sounds silly.
Unicorn or whatever: With better politicians, money will appear out of nowhere!
Teddy bear that’s digging: And we’ll find pirate treasure!
Puppy or whatever: And everyone will get a pony!
A My Little Pony, responding to the puppy: Wait, what?

Panel: One of the silly beings from the previous panel speaks.

Caption: But it’s not.
Being: Read on!
