Well, now it's up to federal judges to closely examine and decide what to do with "fecal soup."

I have hated "drilling down" ever since I first heard it some 20 years ago.

Latest comic. Too many of our institutions, including some news outlets, have bought into this reactionary inversion of hierarchies in which dominant groups are victims.

The NYT loves to hand-wring about polarization, but I unsubscribed a few years ago because the personality of the paper became smug, condescending, and gratuitously polarizing! "Safe spaces" is ideologically-loaded insult. Any editor should know that in 2024.

I've been drawing strips for years about attacks on students' right to protest, yet strangely I've never been invited to give a TED Talk, speak at an "ideas festival," or pen a column for the Atlantic. This is from 2016.

RIP to the great comics historian and cartoonist Trina Robbins, who was always kind and encouraging. I'm so glad I got to spend time with her when I was in SF last fall. Photo on left is from 2014.

Latest comic on oversized/super-loud EVS. I have no problem with fake engine sounds intended as a safety feature for people and animals. I'm talking about totally gratuitous, high-decibel roars!

Just one man's opinion but I would prefer *not* to live in an increasingly authoritarian society. Things don't tend to work out very well for people like me in authoritarian societies.
