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!

Assault Rifle Accessories

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.

Incredible Global News 2022

Read the comic on Patreon.

Heading into the final weeks of the year and threw together some unrelated news gags together to get ahead of schedule. AI art is this year’s NFTs. Everywhere at the moment, but its ubiquity will be its undoing. Or so I tell myself.

Police-mart

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!

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.

White Nationalist Terror Defense Kit

Read the comic on Patreon.

Doing a comic about the Democratic primary last week was a brief respite from covering the white supremacist domestic and state terror that happens every single day. As much as John Delaney sucks and Joe Biden gaffes his way to a repeat of 2016, it’s small potatoes compared to the pogroms that are going on.
