This month’s exclusive for $5+ Patreon members is about my experience at the most recent No Kings protest in Boston.
Reader support is what keeps the comics coming, and for just $1 a month, you can see my weekly comics as soon as I finish them, before they’re posted anywhere else. Even becoming a free member is an easy way to follow my work and get notified when I publish something for free.

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.

The fascist wrath of this administration continues to be applied to anyone and anywhere unwilling to capitulate to its whims. This week, jackboots from various federal agencies were sent to harass DC because DOGE’s “Big Balls” got his shit wrecked by teens. He got off easy after he helped condemn millions to death with cuts to USAID and other essential agencies. I hope he cried real hard about his boo-boo.
Everyone who isn’t in Democratic leadership knew this was coming, but only one side stockpiled weapons. I can only hope we have enough sandwich ingredients and can unify the anti-fascist factions of the country before they descend into infighting about what to call subs/hoagies/grinders.

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.

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.

Paramount needs federal approval for a merger, so they’re bending over backwards to appease the administration (it won’t work, they’ll just demand more obedience) by neutering CBS’s autonomy in its news coverage. Other corporate media giants have done the same to pre-emptively appease an administration that barely squeaked out a win and is already underwater in every conceivable poll.
That might work for some industries, but the media requires appealing to audiences bigger than one demented individual in the White House.

The late Thanksgiving has made this holiday season shorter than usual (if you’re not a freak who puts the tree up the day after Halloween), so here are some holiday goofs before I have to really start thinking about next year.
I’ve never watched one of the Hallmark Channel’s Christmas schlockfests, but Netflix put out something called Hot Frosty where a sexy snow sculpture comes to life (?) and I figure I should practice writing that kind of stuff for when editorial cartoonists make it to the next FBI director’s most wanted list.
Now to enjoy one sip of the eggnog I bought then immediately remember why it’s not a regular staple in our fridge.

Here’s my counter to the annual “How to talk to your MAGA relatives at Thanksgiving” articles, which never seem to be written the other way. Sure, it’s petty, but since they’re immune to reason, maybe a little food poisoning will do the trick.
I’m fortunate to not have to spend the holiday with these awful people. If you have to, I hope the food, booze, and/or drugs makes next week somewhat tolerable.
