Fake valentines are an (almost) annual tradition since I first started drawing weekly cartoons over 22 years ago. The little cut-out dots and scissors are vestigial artifacts from when my comics regularly appeared on paper products called “alt-weeklies.”
While there’s apparently a lot of decent economic news these days, things are pretty grim for tech and especially media jobs. Execs are either hollowing out their staffs to boost dividends, or simply getting bored with their media toys and moving on to the next big grift.

This marks twenty years of me making fake Valentine’s cards for cartoons. I might’ve missed several years when I was on the NYT grind, so don’t quote me on that.
I had a cold this week that was surprisingly not COVID. While I don’t recommend getting sick, any excuse to avoid following the news makes for a better week.

For whatever reason, summing up a week’s worth of news in Valentine’s card format is very easy for me. Maybe because I don’t have to draw any backgrounds or figure out compositions with speech balloons.

Those of you who remember my alt-weekly days will recall that I did fake valentines every year in Big Fat Whale. Now they’re back, and even bleaker for these terrible times.
