Here’s my counter to the annual “How to talk to your MAGA relatives at Thanksgiving” articles, which never seem to be written the other way. Sure, it’s petty, but since they’re immune to reason, maybe a little food poisoning will do the trick.

I’m fortunate to not have to spend the holiday with these awful people. If you have to, I hope the food, booze, and/or drugs makes next week somewhat tolerable.

Unqualified Cabinet Candidates

Unqualified Cabinet Candidates

The second transition of this administration is even more unprepared than the first one. It’s almost like they wanted and expected to lose. But Democrats snatched defeat from the jaws of victory once again, so here we are.

Seems like every creep, freak, and weirdo that was too bonkers last time is all that’s left to be make our lives miserable for at least the next four years. Focusing on the freak-of-the-week is largely a distraction that the Federalist Society and Heritage Foundation are fine with so they’re doing the real work of dismantling the country and selling it for parts in relative obscurity.

I’ll get to them, but sometimes a face like Matt Gaetz’s comes along that’s just begging me to draw it.

2025 Lawn Signs

Read the comic on Patreon.

Well this sucks. I’m sure I’ll find funny things to make cartoons about, while also amplifying ways to help people who are going to be most affected by the implementation of Project 2025, but for now I’m just swinging between rage and grief. Listening to comedy podcasts while drawing this was the first break my brain’s had since Tuesday night.

Pardon my sincerity. Shit is fucked up, and everyone who cares needs to chip in to unfuck it. We can’t let morons raging blindly about the price of eggs have the last word.

Election Anxiety Remedies

Read the comic on Patreon.

With less than a week to go until votes are finally counted, people’s election madness has reached a fever pitch. A lot of people have channeled that energy into productive uses, but the one’s who haven’t can’t stop clogging our timelines with increasingly panicked posts.

While there’s still a few days to get out the vote with phone banks and canvassing, ballot curing is a process I didn’t know much about until recently. 33 states allow voters whose ballots were rejected to correct issues over various timeframes. Getting in touch with those voters and helping them through that process requires lots of volunteers.

There are several organizations that do this, but one I’ve found that lets us slobs in non-swing states easily volunteer can be found here.

Hopefully there will be a decisive winner by next week’s cartoon, but I’m sure there will be plenty of coup attempts and other shenanigans going on for months to come.

Stay sane, everyone!

Save This Cartoonist!

Everyone persuadable has heard the moral cases to vote against Donald Trump. If that hasn’t motivated them to vote, I’m not sure anything will. So I offer this very selfish reason to want Kamala Harris and Tim Walz to win in less than two weeks.

I’m very tired of reading about, thinking about, and drawing this vile human being. I was in my mid-thirties when he first descended that gilded escalator. I’m now 45 and would like to use a palette that doesn’t include that orange makeup, blue suit, or red tie before I hit my fifties. Let your voice be heard and Make Brian Draw Farts Again!

There are positive reasons to vote FOR Harris-Walz, not just AGAINST Trump, but that’s enough for me. No one should waste time arguing with people who can’t stomach voting for whatever reason. The goal is to get out the vote (in swings states, the rest of us can pound sand), not win arguments online. If someone’s not budging, move on to someone who is. There’s less than two weeks left!

Campaign Closers

Read the comic on Patreon.

There’s still over two weeks left, and anything can happen, etc., but I’m voting early this weekend and ready for this to be over. And judging from Trump’s town-hall-turned-dance-party, so is he. They’ll still attempt to steal it, but if the coup has the same energy as their campaign events, it’ll be more funny than scary.

The Harris campaign is actually campaigning, and will be through election day. I’m hoping they stop kissing centrists’ butts immediately after, but for now, to avoid getting yelled at by people suffering from severe election anxiety, I won’t say anything else.

Congress’s Climate Quack

Congress's Climate Quack

Marjorie Taylor Greene is saying more stupid, hateful shit, and it’s arguably not even the worst of the lies going around about the recent hurricanes and relief efforts. It’s especially demented to scapegoat innocent people when there are real humans to blame in the fossil fuel industry who’ve been denying what their own scientists have been saying about climate change for over forty years.

The climate crisis is here and now that denial won’t work, the conspiracy theories are going to do even more of the heavy lifting to stop what’s necessary to mitigate any of it; not to mention what they’ll do to otherize people forced to flee the next disaster or the countless ones that will follow.

Progress is being made though! The poorly named Inflation Reduction Act has done a lot to boost the already booming renewable energy industry. We just have to find a way to stop all those gains from going to A.I. so it can give dweebs a picture of Smurfette with big boobs.
