9/11 Brain

Read the comic on Patreon.

It’s been another week of Israel bombing and starving the people of Gaza into oblivion as collective punishment for Hamas’s brutal attacks. Not only is the warfare asymmetrical, so are the death tolls and empathy from the Western world. A ceasefire is the only way to stop what is effectively the ethnic cleansing of Gaza, but the US government is letting its client state run buck wild with revenge.

Biden gave a tepid suggestion that Israel avoid our post 9-11 mistakes, but that message gets lost when you hand over enough military equipment to make Raytheon execs’ boners visible from space.

Jokes return next week. (Hopefully.)

Some violent sedition happened while I was drawing this cartoon about the worsening pandemic. 2021’s going great!

I was all set to get ahead on so much this week, then a coup attempt happened. Unfortunately, pandemic cartoons look like they’ll be evergreen throughout the year.

Tall Tales of Terror

Since my run at the NYTimes came to end, I’ve launched a Patreon. Supporters can see the comic now. Readers who aren’t that into me can still see it when it appears across the web later next week!

Kellyanne Conway and Sean Spicer are inventing Islamic terror attacks in order to justify the Administration’s terrible executive orders.

If and when a real attack happens, they’re going to seize the opportunity to do even worse things than George W. Bush and Cheney did.

Unless it’s right-wing extremists, then they’ll get ignored like the Quebec Mosque shooting, or the Texas Mosque arson.

Right-Wing Stuntman

Right-Wing StuntmanTed Cruz is the Republican Party’s last chance to pull their nomination away from Trump, even though his policies and people skills are just as terrible, if not worse. After the bombings in Brussels, Cruz advocated for policing and monitoring of Muslim communities in the US. If that’s better than Trump’s plan to deny Muslims entry into the United States, that’s straining the definition of the word “better.”

While drawing this cartoon, I came across a phenomenon that might explain why Ted Cruz’s face is so unsettling: His teeth are rarely visible, make his face look like one of these carnival games:

Profiles in Cowardice

Profiles in CowardiceAfter the attacks in Paris, the Republicans, along with some spineless Democrats, devolved into the same panicky imbeciles that turned this country bonkers after 9/11. That insanity is what led me to political cartooning 14 years ago, and to see it return all these years later is incredibly heartbreaking.

Thankfully, there’s been more pushback this time around, although it’s entirely absent from the GOP presidential field, who’s current frontrunner is a full-blown fascist.
