Honored to draw my first cover for TIME ❤️

TIME tweet:
The living Israeli hostages held in Gaza have been freed under the first phase of Donald Trump's peace plan, alongside a Palestinian prisoner release. The deal may become a signature achievement of Trump's second term, and it could mark a strategic turning point for the Middle East https://time.com/7325156/trump-gaza-ceasefire-deal/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=editorial&utm_content=131025

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

After scandalizing the left as an opener for Donald Trump at a rally last year, Tony Hinchecliffe has ascended to the top of right-wing comedy with his purposely offensive Gong Show redux, “Kill Tony,” whose Netflix special sold out Madison Square Garden.

I remember it as a dodgy looking VHS trailer as a kid and dismissed it out of hand. It was Chapo’s recent Movie Mindset episode that convinced me to give it a go, and it’s an all-points banger alright!
