An Immodest Proposal Introduction Moving into the future with any sense of progress or expectation of productive improvement is extremely difficult in today’s world. If I can’t find within myself a future I can abide, there is no future. brentandersonart.com/site/an-immo...

Carol Rae Burns April 27, 1935 - December 2, 2025 My mother, Carol Rae Burns, passed away peacefully in her sleep on Tuesday December 2, 2025. She was her cardiologist's “twenty-year miracle.” For me, she was a seventy-year miracle. Ya done good, Mom. Go be with Cinda, Aaron, and Todd Reid Burns.

Thanksgiving-Cyber Monday, my wallet's ignoring Target, Home Depot, & Amazon. I'm tired of corporations enabling this administration ditching DEI, allowing ICE to terrorize our communities, & chase tax breaks. Join me! #WeAintBuyingIt 🚫 app.sosha.ai/s/NSr3axm7

I’m very happy. I just rebuilt www.eljaguarorigins.com in WordPress. It ain’t fancy, but it works. You may now access the entire graphic novel on the website. We are still shopping a publisher, and plan to use this link to pitch it. “Out of the Shadows” is the best art I’ve ever done for a project.

I'm back in the studio and am immersed in Force 5ive once again. For those interested, mom is feeling better and settling in to her new semi-independent living situation, meaning she's getting used to people checking in on her every few days. Send her a few good vibes, thoughts, and lots of love.

No one is an illegal person. ICE goons are conducting government-sanctioned kidnappings and disappearances against people who are profiled as "illegal" by that same government. Sounds like a "shit hole country" to me. Let's get out of the hole and kick this shit government out of office. VOTEProp50!

If cheaters prosper, none dare call them cheaters. In today’s America, such cheating is well-rewarded. It’s the national sickness, reverence in money and the power it bestows. TRUMP WAS TRYING TO FIND 11,870 VOTES IN GEORGIA AND HE WAS CAUGHT. HE DOESN'T WANT TO LOSE HIS GRIP ON POWER SO HE CHEATS!

How we take back the economy from the ultra-wealthy and democratically relieve the death grip they maintain on OUR economy, is the mean trick. I just hope the trick doesn’t have to get too mean.

“l'm a liberal because I think we should take care of each other. … I don't believe there is any scenario in which preventable suffering is an acceptable outcome as long as money is saved." — Ron Howard [Hoarding wealth is no way to take care of other people except to make them prisoners of it.]

Trump slashing SNAP programs that help feed hungry people won’t balance the budget or reduce the deficit. [True waste and fraud lies in the hoarding and sequestering of wealth away from the public need and into the hands of private manipulators, aka property investors and Wall Street speculators.]

“When a politician says he wants to remove regulations on business because they’re a burden on business owners, what he’s saying is he’s OK with injury, disease and death for both workers and customers.”

“Job killing” regulations are there to protect workers and the public from clearly identifiable risks in a business. When those regulations are removed, people die.

I'm back from two months taking care of my 89-soon-to-be-90-year old mother. While staying with her she had MSNBC on all day, so I got hooked on Rachel Maddow. I'm following her here and considering subscribing to MSNBC so I can watch her nightly show.

@catherineyronwode.bsky.social I am having similar difficulty adjusting to how BlueSky works, so I am now following you and posting this notice. Hope you receive it. I will be staying on FB for the foreseeable future. I've canceled my XTWIT account (I think.) Hope you are well.

@elainelee.bsky.social Or change titles to something more interesting. I've done it for almost fifty years!

@empresslaura.bsky.social I'm following you!

New Year's Day evening we watched 'Sons of the Desert' (1933) starring Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy in one of their best. It opens with "Auld Lang Syne" and closes with a very funny line apropos of the coming year! Let this post set the stage for the coming year on my FB Page. Peace (and funny!)

January 2 2025 and I haven't posted anything here yet. I'm not quite used to checking in here yet. I'm busy working on a new comic strip "You Get What You Get" which is not as cynical as it sounds. I am shooting to create 52 strips during this year, one strip per month and will post them here.

They say it's His Birthday!

Just tried posting a short story here "Oh God, It's Superman!" but the word count per post preempted it. If you want to read the story go to www.facebook.com/brent.e.ande... It's only 433 words. (This post is only 241 words and characters.)

Have yourself a mooey little Christmas, All!

Still getting used to the BlueSky thing. Here's a bit about myself. 'I love stories _ making them up, executing, illustrating and experiencing the stories of others. This has helped me get through a lot of tough times.'

I have yet to receive any replies to my posts here, so I must be doing something wrong in how BlueSky is supposed to work. You can find me more readily on FB. My XTwit account is still activated, but if you go there you will be directed to my FB Page.

This is a second post just to see what happens. I'm betting BlueSky servers are getting a ral workout, so I won't be impatient if people have difficulty finding me to Follow or I can't find people to Follow. "Either way, Schweetheart, we always have FaceBook." Peace out

New to BlueSky. What's new with you?
