This week’s Southwest Airlines debacle made regular holiday air travel look pleasant.  COVID, flu, RSV (insert Gilligan’s Island theme song:) and the rest of the viruses we’re pretending don’t exist are causing people to be out sick from all sorts of essential jobs. Southwest was apparently hit especially hard since […]

Masochist Airlines

I’m abstaining from making any predictions about 2023. Not for lack of any ideas where things are headed, but because I don’t want to be too much of a holiday party pooper. I’ll let COVID, RSV, and flu do that. Read the comic on Patreon.Read the comic on The Nib.Read […]

2022 Winter Gift Guide

Results are shaking out from last week’s election, and the Republicans will get a thin majority in the House, thanks mostly to New York Democrats rather than anything appealing offered by the GOP.

Kevin McCarthy’s Anti-American Agenda

So all the narratives about the Republican midterm wave the media were hankering for sort of fizzled. Now we have another squeaker where the balance of fascism/not fascism is still up in the air days after the election. Horse race and both sides coverage have been part of political pundits’ […]
