ICE’s Airport Agents

TSA workers remain unpaid during the DHS shutdown, while ICE agents are fully funded to be the demented President’s personal dipshit army and now are deployed to stand around airports doing nothing. To be fair, wasting time at a terminal Cinnabon is better than roaming the streets snatching people up, but these bozos were given so much funding, they can do both all while collecting overtime.

I haven’t flown in 13 years. Some of that is because I’ve been spoiled by Amtrak’s meager offerings. While terrible compared to the rest of the civilized world’s trains, Amtrak boasts no security lines, a decent selection of beers, and if you’re in Boston, you don’t have to go anywhere near Logan Airport.

This month’s comic for patrons who signed up for Exclusive Early Access predicts the next big things in shitty technology. I’m running a 20% discount for this tier for the next two weeks. Check it out and get access to all the previous exclusives as well.

For just $1 a month, Early Access subscribers see my cartoons as soon as I finish them.

As media outlets close up shop and become one big monopolistic toy for a handful of billionaires, reader support is essential to keeping these comics coming. Even becoming a free member over on Patreon helps, and comes with access to all sorts of stuff I post that I don’t feel like monetizing.

Bored of Peace Games

Our dumb war with Iran is still going on for reasons that become even more unclear as the weeks drag on. Even the selfish dummies who voted this guy in are starting to turn on him because their SUV juice is getting expensive. Unfortunately for us, and the rest of the world, Congress is dumber than that and agreed to fund this disaster to avoid being accused of not “supporting the troops.”

There wasn’t an entrance strategy, so there’s no hope for an exit strategy. One fuck-up after another until even our allies have to rethink their grand plan to do nothing and wait for the guy to die. Which, to be fair, is also the Democrats’ plan.

Not much funny to say about any of this, so I drew some poops and made fun of Marco Rubio’s big-ass shoes. We all cope with the horrors of war in our own ways.

Stickers Shock

Trump’s adventure in Iran is predictably leading to soaring oil and gas prices, something that was very important for the media right up until Election Day in 2024. “I Did That!” stickers blaming Biden for inflation were all the rage, so I figured I’d take a shot at elevating the genre for this regime.

I might actually make these if there’s enough interest to cover production costs up front. But until then, I can tweak a few of the designs for My Threadless Shop, which needs some more designs to take advantage of the $13 t-shirt sale that’s currently going on. Let me know if there’s any you’d like to see!

Dumb War Weapons

We launched another preemptive war of aggression that’s going to kill a lot of people and ruin even more lives for decades to come. At least Congress, including 157 House Democrats, retroactively signed off on it, ensuring this boondoggle is adequately funded while the rest of our lives aren’t.

With Iraq, there was a pretense of manufacturing consent, and public opinion supported it until the fact that it was a stupid war of choice became too obvious to ignore. Besides Congress and the media, nobody wants this war with Iran, and since planning is for nerds, the consequences are already extremely unpopular.

We all just have to sit and watch, and hope the blowback doesn’t happen to us personally, since the ostensible opposition party’s plan is to wait for us to bail them out in the midterms. So much damage is going to happen between now and then. And it all might’ve been prevented if Biden and Merrick Garland released any of the freaky Epstein details that have been trickling out over the past year when they could’ve influenced an election.

This month’s exclusive for patrons features some drawings that have been haunting my notebook for months. Either too dumb, too gross, or too weird, I just couldn’t find a home for them in my weekly comic.

Reader support keeps the comics coming. If the $5 monthly tier is too expensive, $1 a month gets you early access to my weekly cartoons, and puts a dollar in my very empty pockets.

Kash Patel: Man-Child Detective

Kash Patel is living the influencer dream on the FBI’s plane, and although it may be required for secure bureau communications, this ding-dong isn’t doing any FBI work that needs that level of security. Little dude was partying in Milan for the gold medal hockey game, and immediately helped tank the reputations of the victors by chugging cold ones with them in the locker room and yukking it up on a call from Trump while he shat all over the much more likeable US women’s team.

Nothing matters until some consequences can be brought upon these goons who have been laughing in our faces for over a year while committing crimes and scandals that would’ve ended in resignations in any other administration. If there is indeed a massive midterm wave that sweeps the Democrats into having at least some power, they’ll need to avoid whiffing it like they did throughout Biden’s term.

FCC Guide

CBS spiked Stephen Colbert’s interview with Texas representative and senate candidate James Talarico, because it’s Larry Ellison’s nepobaby’s toy. They’re already willing partners in the regime’s state media, but FCC chair Brendan Carr has been slinging threats around to less compliant outlets for the past year. With Ellison’s Paramount still angling to takeover Warner Bros., the chilling effects will continue until there’s just one media company left to bribe the Trump administration and bore the rest of us with lazy propaganda.
