Baseball’s Unwritten Rulebook

This entry was posted in comics and tagged baseball Boston racism on by

The weather’s finally nice enough to catch up on baseball season. If you don’t follow the sport, here’s a quick rundown of what the panels are referencing.The Minnesota Twins’ whining about bunts and “unwritten rules” inspired this premise.

Tucked into the massive tax scam that screwed everybody was a special provision that especially screwed minor league players.

Report: New Hampshire Youth Baseball Coaches Planned To Bean Their League’s Lone Girl Player Into Quitting

Stephen King can see all sorts of horrors, but claims he can’t see what’s behind a safety net.

The Cleveland Indians are phasing out their offensive Chief Wahoo mascot off their uniforms next year in order to get the All-Star Game. They’ll still sell tacky Wahoo merchandise as long as fans keep buying it, however.

Coffee Sensitivity Training

This entry was posted in comics and tagged police police brutality racism on by

Starbucks is getting a lot of rightly deserved flack for calling the cops on two black men, but every other franchise in America is just as likely to be the scene of the same prejudiced thing as long as white customers, employees, and managers wet their pants at the sight of a minority and call the trigger-happy cops.

You can probably tell I don’t often travel beyond the Northeast by the franchises I used. I’m sure the chain brand coffee’s bad in whatever region you live in. Just be a cheapo like me and enjoy french press of whatever beans your wife buys.

Stephen Miller’s Racist Routine

This entry was posted in comics and tagged Donald Trump immigration Jeff Sessions racism Stephen Miller on by

Despite Chuck Schumer’s ineptitude, last weekend’s shutdown was mostly the fault of Stephen Miller and John Kelly, two racists who still have the racist President’s ear.

The myth of Steve Bannon’s brilliance should be easily debunked by the fact that Miller’s still around the White House, and he isn’t.

Meet the Republican “Resistance”

This entry was posted in comics and tagged antifa fascism Jeff Sessions John Roberts Lindsey Graham Marco Rubio Mitt Romney Paul Ryan racism on by

When I said I was adjusting my production schedule, I didn’t intend for the comic to be this late. I wrote and started drawing a whole other comic about Trump’s North Korea bluster, but the events in Charlottesville rendered that tone deaf so I started from scratch.

I could’ve easily lumped many Democrats in with this faux-resistance crew, but this goes out to several publications that would’ve thrown the phony alt-left epithet at me and stopped sending me checks.

Bad Bleacher Behavior

If you don’t live in Boston or follow sports, you might not be aware that Orioles’ player Adam Jones was pelted with peanuts and racist slurs at Fenway Park Monday night.

I happened to be at that game, and didn’t learn about the incidents (plural, since the peanuts and slurs were slung from different parts of the park) until the next day. A lot of Boston sports media and their callers and commenters became defensive idiots, with some even accusing Jones of making the whole thing up.

I believe Jones because I’ve been to Fenway more times than I can count and heard awful shit said in the bleachers and elsewhere in the park. I’ve also been to stadiums in other cities to know none are without racist and homophobic assholes.

Boston fans get famously defensive when things like this happen, which is not a good look. My fellow fans and the media should take a page from the Red Sox organization and condemn the racists in our midst and make them feel unwelcome. And if that doesn’t work, invite Antifa and Black Bloc on your next trip to Friendly Fenway.

As for the NYTimes’ newest columnist, Bret Stephens, his climate change denial is terrible and has no place in any publication that pitches itself with the slogan “The truth is more important now than ever.” But his bigoted “Disease of the Arab mind” comment should disqualify him from being published anywhere outside of 4chan message boards.

Removing Another Confederate Monument

This entry was posted in comics and tagged Civil War Confederacy Jeff Sessions Justice Department racism on by

This is an exclusive cartoon just for $5+ patrons. Become a supporter here.

New Orleans is taking down several monuments to the Confederacy and Jim Crow. But Jefferson Beauregard Sessions is still our Attorney General.

This cartoon is just some wish fulfillment until it’s hopefully realized in 2020, if Sessions doesn’t restrict voting rights to everyone but his ancient ass by then.

The second version of the White House’s unconstitutional immigration ban was struck down on Thursday. Public comments admitting the discriminatory intent of the executive order made by Rudy Giuliani and Trump adviser Stephen Miller helped strike it down.
