Make Your Own J.D. Vance Comic

Read the comic on Patreon.

A year of news happened since last week’s comic. I haven’t watched a minute of the Republican National Convention. Trump’s speaking as I type this. No thank you. Recaps and screenshots from folks who subjected themselves to it was enough for me.

Vance was announced as Trump’s VP pick on Monday, and it’s a choice that signals they’re not even trying to win votes that weren’t already in the bag. He’s a Christian nationalist and white supremacist, and anyone who was enthralled by his dumb book is a mark.

As for Saturday’s assassination attempt, you can’t be charged with incitement if you don’t say anything at all.

Have A Federalist Society Fourth!

Read the comic on Patreon.

The Supreme Court has a few more awful decisions to hand out before the holiday, but the one’s they’ve issued so far have ranged from awful to slightly less awful. You know the year’s going great when I’ve drawn Leonard Leo and the Federalist Society more than anybody in Congress. Remember that branch of government? I hope they’re having fun.

I watched the debate while finishing this. It was as bad as I was expecting, but that’s more of an illustration of how low my expectations were. Still over four months until the election, so I’m going to try to refrain from doing too many cartoons about it and spoil everyone’s summer.

Assault Rifle Accessories

Read the comic on Patreon.

Nothing’s happening with gun control in this country. Mass shootings will continue at their horrendous pace throughout my life. That’s not exactly a “funny” message to put in a cartoon, so I drew a Fleshlight on the the end of an AR-15. Helped me forget about dead mangled kids in a puddle of their own blood for a second.

We all have different and valid ways to cope with the rapid decline of the United States.

Police-mart

Read the comic on Patreon.

Patriot Front dipshits had a little fascist parade through Boston over the Fourth of July weekend. And unlike in Idaho where they were arrested in a U-Haul on their way to disrupt a Pride event, Boston’s worst gave them an escort throughout the city.

Kudos to the real patriots who counter-protested these goons.

Monuments to Gun “Culture”

Read the comic on Patreon.

Usually the news cycle moves on a week after a tragedy, but since Congress is still on vacation, there’s not much new news. The Uvalde police continue to look guilty of dereliction of duty as they refuse to cooperate with investigators. Which puts everybody who kissed cop butt over the last two years in a tricky spot.

Marches and protests against gun violence are planned across the country next weekend. Given what happened in 2020, I’m not expecting anything to happen, but the outrage at our leaders’ inaction is only growing.

Summer Book Blowout

Read the comic on Patreon.

Another mass shooting at an elementary school, with cops bungling the response and possibly making the body count of small children even higher. There are some other topics in here. Who cares.

The Senate’s already on vacation for the long weekend, hoping this all blows over and they can keep giving COVID funds to cops and continuing business as usual. Every normal person seems equal parts pissed and hopeless.

Try to find a way to enjoy a part of the unofficial start of summer!

Booster Shot Thoughts

Read the comic on Patreon.

I got a Moderna booster with a flu shot chaser on Sunday. The first two Pfizer doses barely affected me at all, but that combo wiped me out on Monday. Nothing too bad, but as someone who’s written and drawn dozens of comics during colds and flus, this was the first time I couldn’t whip something up. Jokes will keep coming, just like the parade of bummers this country keeps heaping on us. 

Stay safe out there whether you’re travelling or not. A lot of unvaccinated dummies are going to make this winter worse than last.

Welcome Back to School

Read the comic on Patreon.

My sympathies to all the parents, teachers and school staff out there. Governors, mayors, and everyone else eager to get bodies back in office buildings are pretending children under 12 don’t exist in order to get public daycare (the school part is secondary to these goblins) up and running.

Many other terrible things happened this week. Hope you got to enjoy that one week of Hot Vax Summer.
