I made a thing. After months and months of not making anything.
A haiku comic called Early November with a full color large drawing of Palmer Cemetery in Philadelphia overlaid with 3 panels featuring line drawings. Panel 1 is a rotting jack-o-lantern. Panel 2 is a dead tree with eyeball ornaments hanging on it. Panel 3 is a creepy owl sculpture in window box. The hand lettered text reads: fake spider webs float/dead leaves on the ground/winter creeps closer.

I've been thinking a lot about what I want to make and what I don't want to make anymore and why and feeling a bit what's the point of any of it. This post by @thelincoln.bsky.social was a little life raft for me: open.substack.com/pub/counterc...

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!
A poster for the economic blackout on February 28. It is a big red Jack rabbit on an aqua blue back ground. It says economic blackout in hand done black type. There are two black speech bubbles. One says “don’t buy stuff Friday February 28th. The other says we have power. Below it says No Amazon, Walmart, target, gas food, gas. Below that it says OK small business, use cash. Designed by Martha Rich.

I follow a few people here who post in German, and today the newspaper Die Welt published an op-ed by Musk, not content to meddle just in our politics, weighing in on Germany's supposed ills and prescribing as the cure the far-right AfD party (essentially, neo-Nazis). [I block early and often]
