Would any of them give me faith in society?

Doing this for a third year.

Ever since I drew this cartoon, people have reached out about getting a custom print where the lil guy is wearing a shirt with their favorite band’s logo. For the next few days, I’m going to be taking custom Jukebox orders in my shop (link in bio). Happy holidays 🎁🫢
