The stupid motherfucker is about to start a 2nd war.

I just did that!

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

US investigators believe strike on Iranian girls’ school probably carried out by US forces US military officials briefed on investigation make disclosure, while Pentagon has confirmed only that inquiry is under way

Pentagon finally admits something we all damn well knew. Yeah, the US did this.

170 little girls dead. Hegseth needs to be in leg irons in the Hague when this MAGA nightmare finally ends.

Yeeha! It is! They mustve just added it this month. Cool. And thanks.

Oh yes. The Oliphant v. Breathed smackdown was great fun.

Has anyone seen this? I keep waiting for it to stream, but it hasn't yet. Unless I missed it somewhere.

Class doodles from the @nycomicssymposium lecture on “The Comics vs the Fascists.” The righthand side is all doodles of my upcoming book THE DISSIDENTS.

keeping good company w/ Trashman, Maus and Berlin.

Thanks to Bob Sikoryak for posting this.

I also love seeing a master cartoonist using this much whiteout! It offers hope to us fumble-fingered journeymen cartoonists.

In 1942, as Block told it, he was getting chewed out by his NEA editor when word came that he won his first Pulitzer. I love that story and SO want it to be true!

Fun fact. In 1933, Herblock got his big break in Cleveland, with NEA Syndicate, which was part of the Scripps Newspapers empire. The office and comics bullpen was located across from the Cleveland Press (also Scripps) on E. 9th. Block lived on the East Side, not far where I do now!

Rich guys in a limo pass by homeless folks. "Strange how some people choose to live like that instead of choosing to be rich like us."

Herbert Block, from 1984.

ICE detains reporter Estefany Rodríguez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany Rodríguez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

‘Superman #1’ copy found in attic becomes most expensive comic ever sold | CNN A copy of the first ever issue of “Superman,” discovered in a Californian attic last year, has become the most expensive comic ever sold, fetching $9.12 million at auction.

The dream lives on, but no.

An electrician opened up an attic cavity yesterday, and I'm sorry to report that yet again no bags of old money were found.

🤣🤣🤣

Gorgeous. Hand-painted, too. No Mac, no Adobe Illustrator, no AI. Such a lost art.

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, Kristi Noem.

Moskowitz: "Let me congratulate the former Homeland Security Secretary on her appointment to be the Shield of Americas, which I'm pretty sure the president came up with when he watched the last Avengers movie"

The Mandalorian And Grogu sparks 'a completely different era of Star Wars' Dave Filoni and Pedro Pascal talk Star Wars' return to the big screen with a cinematic outing for Din Djarin and Grogu. Read more at Empire.

Yes, a "completely different" and far shittier Star Wars.

And the old Star Wars was godawful. There was really no where to go but up, but somehow Disney, being Disney, kicks through a hole in the floor and plunges ever downward.

I only care because of what A New Hope meant to me... 50 years ago!

Trump fires homeland security secretary Kristi Noem Markwayne Mullin, Republican senator and Maga ally, to replace Noem as Democrats cheer departure of ‘disaster’

BAHAHAHAHA!

They threw a bag over her head as she left Congress and dragged her off!

This evil bitch needs to wind up in an orange jumpsuit when this nightmare ends.

I just got that text, too!

My god, they're targeting cartoonists. The most at-risk group of ALL.

All Clevelanders remember the legendary pee troughs at old Cleveland Stadium. They were covered in pathetically inadequate urinal cakes, whose only apparent function was to serve as something to aim for.

This is the video I needed today!

Our sewer rates in Cleveland are brutal, because previous generations let the ancient sewers crumble w/o putting a penny into them & now we have to clean up the, well, shit. Thanks grandma and grandpa.

But our sewer dept. is hilarious on social media.

Enjoy!

Guardians fans love seeing THAT.

Bluesky now has 40M users. X has 600M. Figure 300M of those are bots. 100M more are various disinformation offices of nefarious governments (including ours). 150M are corporate marketeers trying to sell crap. That leaves 50M real people, all of whom bitch incessantly about Bluesky not being "real."

Everything has its time. The business changes, retail changes, mistakes are made. Plenty of publishers don't really deserve to survive. We also lose some that do, and those we mourn forever.

Comics has always been this way.

Here's the original art!

It's a candle he's holding, and the hand is clearer here. It's correctly drawn.
