DOUGHNUT.BMF
A chocolate-frosted donut with sprinkles, the sole remaining treat in a box that once contained a dozen. The donut sits in the box in the teacher’s lounge all weekend, leftover from the “Sprinkle Fridays” party, a sad attempt to boost moral after the last school shooting. By Monday the donut is stale and the principal tosses hit it into the trash. The donut will eventually make its way to the Sunshine Canyon Landfill, which, incidentally, is where the principal himself eventually ends up, as stale, speckled, and smashed as the donut. Sunshine Canyon Landfill is owned and operated by Browning-Ferris Industries, which in turn is owned by Allied Waste, Inc., which itself is a wholly owned subsidiary of Republic Services, of which a majority stake is owned by Cascade Investment, L.L.C., an American holding company controlled by Bill Gates.

4-panel comic by War and Peas. Panel 1: A man reads in a cosy armchair surrounded by books. "I've read so much." Panel 2: He looks wistful. "But lived so little." Panel 3: He throws open the curtains excitedly. "I bet a world of wonders awaits me outside!" Panel 4: Outside is total chaos – atomic cloud, buildings on fire, UFOs in the sky, lightning, people fleeing. He stares blankly.

Pen and watercolor Cowboys again. This time one of our boys has lost his boots. Standing in a field of long grass the cowboy points towards the ground and shouts back to his colleague, “Lil bone people got muh boots.” This makes no sense to the other cowboy who sits atop his horse away from the action. He responds, “Lil wut?” Sure enough in the foreground we see a squad of little bone people scampering through the grass with the stolen cowboy boots. They’re thrilled. How the bone people got the boots off the cowboy is unclear. Artist’s note: I tend to draw drawings from the same perspective (straight on) most of the time. This idea came about when I was goofin around trying to draw a character from a lower angle. I like that the story unfolds with the foreground, mid-ground, and background all working together. There’s a draft of this one included in the Spooky Pants book. Coming out next week!

"The idea that restaurants should be exempt from the pressures of modern society might be a fantasy, but I don’t think it’s an idle or shameful one. It is a large part of why people love restaurants, and, I have to assume, why people open them too."

I woke up and my eyes were gone.
A drawing of a man with a mustache and horseshoe baldness with empty cavernous eye sockets saying "I just woke up one day and my eyes were gone. Closeup of an eye popping out. "They'd popped out and rolled off some time in the night. I can still see out of them- I think they're in a public bathroom somewhere. Closeup of a toilet flushing. "Not for pervert reasons. They just seem to really like seeing the water go down toilets. They just flush them and watch the water spin."

she took safety-critical software engineering seriously, and got people to the moon and back.

from top to bottom insidious forces of conspiracy have infected everything with the proposition that all problems are localized within the individual’s inner self. it’s a big lie used to downsize, reduce costs, shirk systemic responsibility, breed passivity, & lube the gears of capital extraction.

An absolutely adorable illustration of the cutest otter ever lounging on its back. One half expects to see the otter on a motivational poster with the caption “You’re otterly amazing!” And not, say, struggling to keep its head above water as The Sludge slowly sucks it down.

📌America has not been in this much danger since the Civil War. I bet I have typed that 155 times the past decade, because it is undeniably true. Yet our mainstream media has treated this full-blown emergency like a series of cloudy days ...
REMOVE HIM NOW
Calling for an attack on U.S. cities better be the end of Trump, or the danger we are in today is only just beginning ...
