Ahem.

Ninety years before @goraina.bsky.social and @scottmccloud.bsky.social 's The Cartoonist Club, Tack Knight & Horning brought you the Cartoon Club, a newspaper feature that they supported by appearing at new clubs for cartoonists throughout San Francisco.

Okay, two episodes in and I am SO hooked on PLURIBUS.

This is extremely disturbing. The new evidence raises more questions about what Trump knew and his relationship with Epstein. Release the files.

Welp!

A rare interview with the creators of the always-funny, always-brilliant, and *usually*-sexy—or occasionally anti-sexy—OGLAF! Cooper has kept a low profile over the years, but is legitimately one of the very best artists in comics today. Read OGLAF if you're old enough to drive!

Fun fact: Musk's pay package would be equal to the cost of SNAP (i.e., helping 42 million people to buy food) for TEN YEARS.

Powerful people are working overtime to keep poor people from eating.

I will never understand the people who can look at this and shrug.

Day 310: Drawing animals I've never seen in person like a 400CE monk If there's an object or living thing you think I don't know much about, and you'd like to see me draw it very badly and then kind of okay, sound off in the comments baby

Gave my 9-year-old nephew The Cartoonists Club by @scottmccloud.bsky.social and @goraina.bsky.social last night and he has already finished it and is excitedly describing it to his parents. 🙂

Who will be next?

And again, a pattern of putting out statements accusing people of serious Federal crimes and then releasing them hours or days or weeks later with no charges. And no retraction.

Trump Writes Netanyahu Strongly Worded Check

I am the batdog

And we have now progressed from data analysis to policy recommendations. I told her that we'd calculate the cash value of her candy haul, that I'd ask her to raid her piggy bank and donate 1/3 the candy cash value to a local food bank, and that I'd add on a 5X match.

Turns out the sweetheart deal that Trump's former Labor Secretary Alex Acosta gave Epstein back in 2008 was even worse than we thought. Epstein's emails show Acosta tanked an investigation that had Epstein dead to rights on money laundering, and other financial crimes.

During our spring tour for The Cartoonists Club, @goraina.bsky.social and I presented to several hundred families in Evanston. A more peaceful, beautiful setting would be hard to imagine.

I would like to wish you a very happy Halloween. 🎃

2027: Trump convinces the Supreme Court that the Constitution is just a suggestion, and a third presidential term is legal. 2028: Obama elected.

It was never “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” It was also a clear warning of what was to come.

Fun results from intro class - Person 1 draws the panels, Person 2 puts in words/word structures, Person 3 draws the comic. Always a blast. #CollabComics (can see a bit about it here spinweaveandcut.com/no-uk-collab...) Try it yourself!

Designers not knowing how contrast affects figure ground is like doctors not knowing that skin goes on the outside.

On the block in today's Heritage auction are these two Tezuka pages--one Astro Boy and one Jungle Emperor Leo. Very curious to see what these wind up going for. That Leo page in particular is amazing!

And yes: #pareidolia again! My interests overlap today. :-)

My first "date", kinda...? She and I wandering around Boston in '78-'79, capturing this plaza for photography class. We also took pictures around the park & got interrogated by a tough guy—as if two high school kids might've been Feds. 🙄 Could'a been Whitey Bulger himself for all I know! 🤷‍♂️

A very offline cousin sent this to fam group chat. This story is breaking containment.

Although this is probably the right way to go, there might also be some cool repurposing opportunities; like turning it into a homeless shelter, a museum of defeated tyrants, or a huge new rose garden.

Goood Morning 🌹 VANCOUVER! 🌹 See you tonight! (Thurs, Oct 23) (Note: The event is sold out, but there is a wait list here: www.kidsbooks.ca/events/32516...)

Ever wake up in the middle of a dream and been, like, “Hold on, I’ll be up in a sec—just let me get this third ghost in the sink first…” or whatever?

ok who did this? ☹️

The government shutdown is especially tough on men, who are losing $1.00 for every 75¢ a woman loses.

“Sure it’s one emergency after another here at Rel’Lish burger lounge, but don’t worry folks, we’re ready for anything!”

Taken at SeaTac just now… Essential government workers are not getting paid during the shutdown; and some might even have to fight for backpay when the shutdown ends. Those that show up anyway and keep doing their job every day deserve our recognition and respect.
