Mike Johnson’s Food Bank

Read the comic on Patreon.

The federal government’s been shutdown for a month and SNAP funding is about to be denied to tens of millions of hungry families. Republicans are threatening to starve people in order to deny them medical care. Real cartoon villain shit, yet somehow there’s a good chance Democrats will blink and throw their constituents under one evil bus to avoid another.

Mike Johnson is a vile little worm, and he’s not even fun to draw. Just your basic Heritage Foundation nerd who’d eat his own grandmother if it gave him a sliver of power. Johnson’s refusing to seat Adelita Grijalva, who won a special election months ago. She’d be the deciding vote to release the Epstein files, so Speaker Worm is refusing to swear her into Congress.

The House has barely been in session this year, so Johnson and his son have had a lot of time to monitor each other’s porn habits while the country burns.

Young Republicans Trading Cards

Read the comic on Patreon.

This week Politico published leaked chats from “young” (in quotes because most are in their thirties) Republicans that reveal they’re racist, fascist, and anti-Semitic creeps. It’s not surprising to anyone who’s been online for the past quarter century, but if Politico, which is owned by a billionaire Trump supporter, is finding these groypers to be outside the bounds of normal politics, perhaps shame can regain a foothold in this country.

But someone who grew up in these chats is now the Vice President, so I wouldn’t hold out too much hope for that happening. It’s probably best to just pull the plug on the internet and keep these freaks isolated in their gross little lives.

Protest Costumes

Read the comic on Patreon.

The regime is desperate to make antifascism, or “antifa” to make it sound scary, the pretext for its authoritarian crackdown on cities. Protestors in Portland, Oregon have subverted this with ridiculous costumes that highlight the absurdity of the current moment. Portland Frog has become the face of this movement.

Turns out an effective way to fight evil weirdos is having good weirdos show up.

Public opinion is already vastly against this administration. The media loves a riot to try to turn public around, so making the administration’s goons the only violent ones providing violent footage is a savvy move. Silly costumes aren’t the only way, though. Mutual aid, sabotage, and other organizing are essential to stopping the fascist tide washing over the country. But the costumes are much more fun to draw.

ICE-Mart’s Fall FASHions

Read the comic on Patreon.

Stephen Miller’s slop troops are still terrorizing communities and brazen enough to beat unarmed bystanders in front of dozens of cameras. If this era ever ends, everyone taking an ICE paycheck needs to face consequences. No reconciliation, no “looking forward, not backward,” they need to be shunned from every aspect of society.

Something else should happen to them too, but I ain’t gonna type it.

I was originally going to call it “Shutdown Cider,” but it appears Democrats are even dumber than I thought and are willing to make a bunch of concessions to keep funding a government that’s already been illegally withholding approved funds for essential services since the inauguration.

The weather doesn’t feel like fall yet, but the Red Sox are on the cusp of blowing another shot at the playoffs, so at least that’s something that’s letting me know it’s late September.

Resistance Anti-Heroes

Read the comic on Patreon.

The authoritarianism and fascism are so obvious now, even some squishy centrists are starting to call it that. Democratic consultants, however, are still more focused on dividing their coalition and recommending vulnerable groups to scapegoat rather present a united front against the fascists.

Unfortunately for us, Democratic leadership still prefers to listen to consultants and big money donors instead of their voters, who are screaming for help.

Coming Soon to CBS

Read the comic on Patreon.

CBS/Paramount started cleaning house to meet our demented, rapist dictator’s demands and got their merger with Skydance approved. Last week they announced the cancellation of Stephen Colbert’s Late Show, despite it being at the top of the big three networks’ late night shows. There’s still a year left of the show, which seems kinda stupid, but they were trying to meet the demands of the world’s most powerful stupid person.

I’m not a retired Boomer, so I’m not in the target demo for most of CBS’s offerings. I am however, a fan of Star Trek, and currently Strange New Worlds, which spawned as a solution to Discovery’s own convoluted “Oops! All Mirror Universe/Time Travel” problems. I hope they don’t do a Mirror Universe episode this season, or another musical one for that matter.

Republican Budget Games

Read the comic on Patreon.

Fascism now has a congressionally approved budget and the Supreme Court’s seal of approval. Happy 4th of July anyway. Jefferson and Adams both died on that date and maybe it’ll happen again.

This budget is a horror show and gives ICE enough funding to send a whole team in ill-fitting tactical gear to rendition me for depicting them as a Kirby-pig. They’re already building the camps and anyone who thinks you’re being hyperbolic for saying this is a blissful idiot. I’m honestly jealous of their ignorance. Knowing the horrors that are coming doesn’t feel great, man.

I’m old and had an NES during my formative years, then moved over to the Sega Genesis instead of the SNES. I had the N64 and Gamecube in college, but references run dry once I moved over to the Playstation.

ICE-Mart

Read the comic on Patreon.

A few years ago, I did a comic called Police-Mart. Now that ICE and the rest of the DHS goon squads are sporting new January 6th-inspired uniforms, I figured it would be a good time to revisit the bit for their new unaccountable and sloppy looks.

Masked goons have been snatching people off the street to meet Stephen Miller’s quotas, and it’s not just happening in red states and rural areas. Many safely blue governors and mayors are not only ignoring it, they’re actively helping to appear “tough on immigration.”

I drew Gavin Newsom because he’s the slimiest and most well-known of these Democratic governors, but I could’ve included Massachusetts’ own Governor Healey, who’s been waiting on “more details” even as her constituents have been targeted since inauguration day.
