Funding for COVID mitigation didn’t make it into the recently-passed spending bill. Pretty great timing, as we’re about to reach 1 million official COVID deaths in the United States, and the BA.2 omicron variant seems to be fueling another surge just as every level government is throwing mask-burning parties instead […]

Newly Diagnosed Ailments

Republican states are wilding out with anti-abortion, anti-gay, anti-trans, and anti-everyone-who-isn’t-them bills. With a Supreme Court ready to rubber stamp them, the only legislative way to stop them is for the Democratically controlled federal government to pass a law.

Creeping Fa-SHUSH-ism

Starbucks’ Union-Busting Tactics

Joe Rogan’s been spreading misinformation throughout the pandemic, and it seems to have worked. States everywhere are currently lifting meager mitigation measures while around 20,000 people are still dying every week. All the hateful and dumb shit on his podcast precedes the pandemic and Spotify knew who they were giving […]

This marks twenty years of me making fake Valentine’s cards for cartoons. I might’ve missed several years when I was on the NYT grind, so don’t quote me on that. I had a cold this week that was surprisingly not COVID. While I don’t recommend getting sick, any excuse to […]

2022 Valentines

We’re about to get a nor’easter this weekend, so I’m not optimistic about what the groundhog’s gonna say next week. In fact, I’m not optimistic about anything, except that I’ll get to go snowshoeing this weekend. Read the comic on Patreon.Read the comic on The Nib.Read the comic on GoComics.Read […]
