A James Bond esque villain explains his evil plan to a stick figure strapped to a laser death table, but it's just real life. He explains he's going to extract the world of all its resources only to build a meaningless virtual world where he plans to rule the survivors. And the only survivors will be his relatives.

A comic about a cyclops who learns the hard way that systemic change is the solution to systemic problems.

He learned from his mistakes and wants to apply what he learned.

In the first panel a cyclops is thinking about his situation. This dungeon is known for plucking out an eye as part of a hazing ritual. I'll conspire to replace the current boss! That'll fix it! The second panel has a Spongebob Squarepants styled transition card. One adventuring party later... In the third panel the cyclops now has an eye patch. So an organization's culture can persist across multiple leaders... Systemic change will fix it!

This one, that's also about incrementalism, took me a day to work on in Krita. I traced the faces and hand drew the rest.

I had a lot of fun with it. At first only Ezra Klein was going to be a pikachu and then I realized they should all be Pokémon.

Pikachu Ezra Klein asks Slow King Schumer to "Incrementally improve society by deregulate housing." Slow King Schumer says, "I'll ask the boss." Spoink Bill Ackman says, "I'll pay you a million dollars to never do that." Slow King Schumer says, "I'm so aroused." Slow King Schumer says, "No." Pikachu Ezra Klein has a surprised pikachu face.

So a comic about explaining efficiency took me about a month to finish.

I drew one frame per page. Inked them. Took a photo with my cell phone of each page. Then used Krita to draw over them digitally to clean up the photos, merge them into one, and add text.

Batman, an animated bat, and Robin, a robin, are in a room with an infinity gears machine. The Riddler is behind a locked door on an intercom. Riddle me this Batman! The door to my room will only open if the last gear fully rotates, but you can only turn the first gear! How long will you be standing there? HAHAHAHA! Holy sociological metaphor Batman! If you tired to fully turn the last gear by only incrementally turning the first gear, you would be standing there for 346 quintillion years! The Earth’s orbit will decay before we catch the Riddler at this rate! Batman picks up the infinity gears and then flips it over. This opens the locked door and reveals a surprised Riddler, who is a Tommy gun.
