4 people are studying a blueprint on a table, planning a heist. The leader says “The heist will involve getting into nearly impossible spaces--that’s where you come in, Dog-Hair Jones.” Oh yeah: one team member is a human shape made entirely of dog hair.

A typical weatherman gestures towards a big map while three intimidating gay men stand nearby. The weatherman says “We’re looking at temps in the high 40s, but near this cluster of high-status gays it’s feeling more like ten below.”
Feel the chill. 🍸❄️

Two NPR radio hosts sit at a desk in front of microphones during a broadcast. One says “Today’s public radio program is brought to you by the following companies, many of whom are quietly working to destroy us.”

Classic nativity scene. The little drummer boy is there, and next to him stands a girl holding a bagpipe. One of the wise men whispers to another, “It gets worse — he has a cousin.”
Pa rum pum pum BWARRRRRGGGG #cartoon #holidays
The ghost of Jacob Marley hovers before a terrified Ebenezer Scrooge, cowering in an armchair. Marley has a string of Christmas lights twined around him, and says “Scrooooooge, I wear the chain I forged in life! But lately I’ve been having fuuuuuun with it!”

Coffee shop. A barista has put an order on the counter for a guy to take, but a glowing rift has begun to appear around the cup. The barista is saying, “Yeah, sometimes we get a name so wrong it opens a rift in the fabric of space-time.”

With all the #Frankenstein talk being thrown around, please enjoy this story of another writer present for Lord Byron's scary-story contest. (It goes badly.) 🏰🖊️
YES. THIS PLEASE.
I'd love a pin to wear that signals "There's no need to interact with me, retail person. No smile, no chit chat. You can ignore me. You SHOULD ignore me."
A fund drive scene, with a nerdy guy holding a mic & looking out at us, an array of desks behind him with staff talking into phones that are 10 times their normal size. The nerdy guy says “With recent changes, our fund drive is more important than ever. So we’ve switched to really big phones.”
Every @npr.org affiliate I listen to now in “we’re not kidding around” fundraising mode. (Also it’s fun to draw big phones). #cartoon
I'm gonna need you to mail whatever's left over here to the east coast, thanks in advance
A couple sits on a couch having a meaningful conversation, holding hands. One of them says “If you’re not prepared to emotionally support me through the ‘Wicked’ sequel being released this fall, I need to know now.”
Happy final trailer day to those who celebrate! #wicked 🧙♀️👸

An enormous bear stands patiently next to a hiker, who scrolls on his phone while saying “Hang on — I’m positive there’s an online mnemonic about how to react to you.”
In today's @sevendaysvt.bsky.social! Inspired by bear encounter earlier this year. #cartoon #bear

A title over the cartoon reads “SUPPORTIVE PIZZA BOXES”. Below this, a standard pizza delivery box with an old guy in a chef’s hat giving the “chef’s kiss” gesture. The top text on the box says “YOU’VE TRIED ALL THE REST...” but the bottom text has a note taped over it, reading “...AND THEY’RE ALL PERFECTLY VALID AND DELICIOUS OPTIONS.”
In a recent @sevendaysvt.bsky.social! Shout-out to the ONLY type of pizza delivery box I saw during my Long Island youth. #cartoon #pizza #inclusivity
A dad sits in his easy chair with a book, his pre-teen son stands before him. On the mantlepiece nearby are some family photos but also a mysterious glowing sphere under a glass case. Talking to his son, the father says “Of course you’re my biggest treasure, but the orb that fell from space and allows your dad to move things with his mind is pretty great, too.”
Happy father's day to those who celebrate!

A helicopter is delivering a tote bag the size of a house to someone’s front door. A representative from Public Radio tells the occupant, “We really, really appreciate your generous donation.”
A radio interviewer is sitting near a microphone with a composed young woman. Behind them sits what looks like a pirate with parrots on his shoulder, holding a French horn. The interviewer says “My next guest is a thoughtful, promising young poet, but if that falls flat, we have a backup.”
A public radio announcer talks into a microphone in a studio, saying, “A quick reminder: while my voice may sound measured and reassuring, the actual news is still total batshit.”
NPR is dear to my heart and after @arnieniekamp.bsky.social pointed out my tendency to recommend Fresh Air episodes, I’ve realized it’s about 90% of my personality. As lawmakers attempt to defund it, some @npr.org cartoons:
Bummer it's ending, especially with a shortened season, but if anyone exemplifies "I was expecting a little more time than this" it's Pike 🖖

Two parents and their scruffy adult child sit on a sofa watching The Return of the King, where Aragorn leads the army of Gondor. One parent says, "...and by accepting his destiny, Aragorn did his part to help save the world. What we're saying, Kyle, is you've really got to move out."
Thanks @sevendaysvt.bsky.social for giving Aragorn humor a home. #cartoon #lotr

The Justice League are all trying to take down a giant robot. In the middle of this, Green Lantern John Stewart holds a folder of papers and shouts "Look, just because we're in the middle of something doesn't mean we can't approve last week's meeting minutes and vote on the budget!"
The Justice League are standing amidst the wreckage of some concluded battle. Green Lantern John Stewart addresses everybody: "OK, I'm just gonna say it: The only time the league gets together is during catastrophes. We do not have enough time to discuss and vote on a budget during catastrophes."
It's Cartoon Covers day where New Yorker cartoonists "cover" each other's work, and I had the great pleasure of trying out the supreme badassery of @ngoziu.com!
