Panhandling for Pardons   Recently updated !

Read the comic on Patreon.

That’s a wrap on the Joe Biden interregnum. He did more than I thought he would in that time … until he threw it all away to support Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

The rest of this comic and blog post is up for subscribers over on Patreon. I may hate capitalism, but I’m still living under it.

The Plutocrats   Recently updated !

Read the comic on Patreon.

Oligarchs, plutocrats, whatever you want to call them, they’re all breaking their necks to be the first to lick Trump’s boots before he’s even sworn in for the second time. Something really is wrong with billionaire brains because they’re the one class that doesn’t have to think or worry about the guy at all. They’re gonna be fine!

They’re each uniquely awful in their own ways, but Zuckerberg’s latest move to explicitly throw LGBTQ+ people under the bus might be the most craven. He’s so convinced people won’t leave his platforms that he’s copying what Elon Musk did to Twitter and not expecting half its userbase to leave.

Maybe there are enough people addicted to Facebook and Instagram for that to succeed, but I won’t be posting anything there besides links that no one sees anyway.

Winter Reading Pile

Read the comic on Patreon.

I hope your holidays were relaxing enough to get you rested for the long slog through the rest of winter and the years to come. I’m still avoiding drawing you-know-who to pace myself for what’s coming, but even with my limited news consumption over the holidays, I’m already suffering from Elon/Trump burnout.

I’m not going to tune out of the news like many people have wisely done since the election, and I’m sure I’ll be drawing those shitheads a lot, but I can’t do another four years of “GET A LOAD OF THIS BOZO!” every week. It obviously had no effect the last time I did it, so why subject myself to that again?

That’s the long way of saying I want to try different approaches this time around. I’m not yet sure what that’ll look like, but let’s find out!

2025 Freak-Out Forecast

Read the comic on Patreon.

Everyone’s closing out the year by panicking over planes, planets, drones and stars. What stupidity awaits in 2025? Besides the big demented fascist I’ve purposely avoided drawing for a while. I’m going to try and not think about that for the next week, and think about a big demented gift-giving elf instead.

Incredible Global News 2024

Read the comic on Patreon.

It’s that time of year for a recurring bit I use to get ahead for the holidays. I have one more to draw before I close the books on this miserable year. Even though there’s always more bad news to come, I’m giving myself the gift of mostly ignoring it until after the New Year.

C.E.O. Safety with Big Business Brain

Read the comic on Patreon.

It’s been almost two years since we last visited this guy. I’ll preface this with the obvious statement that murder is bad. However, sympathy is not mandatory and there a thousands more victims higher on my empathy list than some guy who got rich by denying people health care.

The same people who shrugged after Sandy Hook and a coup are now concerned that our nation’s decades old gun and domestic terrorism epidemics could affect them. This will probably lead to even more bloated police budgets, when their jobs continue to be done by snitches at McDonald’s.

Schmaltzmark Channel Holiday Specials

Read the comic on Patreon.

The late Thanksgiving has made this holiday season shorter than usual (if you’re not a freak who puts the tree up the day after Halloween), so here are some holiday goofs before I have to really start thinking about next year.

I’ve never watched one of the Hallmark Channel’s Christmas schlockfests, but Netflix put out something called Hot Frosty where a sexy snow sculpture comes to life (?) and I figure I should practice writing that kind of stuff for when editorial cartoonists make it to the next FBI director’s most wanted list.

Now to enjoy one sip of the eggnog I bought then immediately remember why it’s not a regular staple in our fridge.

Normalization Nation

Read the comic on Patreon.

The entire mainstream media and political class are acting like a fascist returning to power after an attempted coup is totally normal, and that he should be given the benefit of the doubt despite almost a decade of evidence that he’s corrupt moron who’s already done tons of damage to the country.

There’s no honeymoon period for couples that get married a second time and there shouldn’t be for dipshit ex/soon-to-be presidents. Things are going to suck and get worse from Day One, and these dopes are going to pretend not to notice for at least a year in the interest of appearing “fair.”

Hope you get to enjoy a nice long weekend before your obligations as a holiday consumer begin.
