NEW SOLUTIONS TO THE TROLLEY CAR PROBLEM

By me and @postcardsbybecky.bsky.social

This cartoon has four panels. Each panel shows a different scene with one character in it. And each panel has a caption, in large letters, at the top. A large caption over the top of the entire strip says NEW SOLUTIONS TO THE TROLLEY CAR PROBLEM.

PANEL ONE

CAPTION: REPUBLICANS

A smiling, well-dressed woman with long blonde hair stands behind a podium, gesturing to indicate a trolley car parked behind her. The trolley car is gory with blood spattered all over the front, and we can see bodies under the car.

WOMAN: Cleaning blood off a trolley car is expensive! That's why we're proposing tax breaks for trolley car companies!

PANEL TWO

CAPTION: LIBERTARIANS

A man with a very thick orange beard, wearing a green knit cap and a plaid shirt, is sitting in his armchair at home and speaking directly to us, with an intense expression. He's holding a joint in one hand and raising his I'm-making-an-important-point-now-forefinger with the other. Next to him one one side are a bunch of LP records stored in milk cartons; on the other side is a side table with a bottle of whisky, a whisky glass, and a thick book.

MAN: Trolley car companies need freedom to choose who to run over without bureaucrats getting in the way! Deregulate now!

PANEL THREE

CAPTION: DEMOCRATS

This is the same scene as panel one, but now a frightened looking old man, wearing huge glasses, a jacket and a bow tie, is behind the podium. He is shaking and sweating a bit as he talks to us. His dialogue is split into three balloons.

MAN: Something must be done! Er, someday. Maybe. If no one disagrees. Gotta stay bipartisan!

PANEL FOUR

CAPTION: TERFs

A woman wearing a blue pantsuit, and with nicely-done short white hair, is sitting on a park bench, looking thoughtful.

WOMAN (thought): One person's life versus six people's lives... Hmmm. Which choice hurts more trans people?

A hand-drawn cartoon by me, picturing Trump’s handlers placating and delighting him by murdering fishermen in Venezuela.

A four-panel cartoon. 1- trump slumps by in the background as JD Vance tells chief of staff Susie Wiles that Trump looks down. 2- Marco Rubio is also there, and he suggests playing broadway show tunes. Susie Wiles suggests sending a young girl to cheer him up. 3- Stephen Miller looms. He says we’ll just kill more Venezuelan fishermen. 4- Miller says that cheers him up every time.

Hello #portfolioday

I'm Jeremy. I thought I'd share some of the creatures I've made in the past 12 months or so. I designed, hand-sewed, and hand-embroidered all of them.

Here's a lovely photo of a plethora of hand-sewn fabric art creatures. There's a watermelon creature with a red face, eight black seed-like eyes, and a wide mouth with five sharp teeth. There's a white ghost trinket bag covered with purple embroidered flowers. She has a gray face, sparkly black eyes and a little frown. There's a strawberry creature with three bulbous green eyes. There's a watermelon ghost, and a black creature with sharp teeth wearing a bulbous eye earring. There's a large purple creature with many yellow eyes and an open mouth, with a little green creature popping her head out. All the creatures are sitting on green fur and there's a galaxy print fabric in the background.

Here's a photo of four fabric art creations with a black background and a dark red ground. There are two homunculi, one smaller than the other. The large one is gray with big twinkly red eyes and a little frown. The smaller homunculus is green with twinkly red eyes and a little frown. She's holding a rainbow-colored staff with a green stone on the top. The stone appears to be glowing a bit. The other two creatures are white ghosts with gray faces. They have twinkly black eyes and little frowns. They each have two twirly hair wisps coming out of their heads. They're wearing cone-shaped party hats. The hats are black and they're covered with red eyes and there's a red poof on the top. One hat is large and one hat is extremely small.

Here's a photo of fabric art creatures with a white fabric background. There's a cute and creepy mothman with a black body and a gray face with twinkly red eyes and sharp teeth. There's a green Kentucky goblin with a lighter green face and large pointy ears. He has twinkly yellow eyes and he's wearing a black party hat covered with red googly eyes and a big red poof at the top. There's also a red death worm with nine cream-colored eyes and sharp teeth. The tiny homunculus witch is sitting on the worm's head. She's very small, with large twinkly red eyes and a green body. She's wearing a small version of the party hat the goblin's wearing.

Here's a lovely photo of the cosmic ghost bag. She's a black ghost with various stars and planets embroidered on her body. There are little white stars, larger white stars, yellow stars, purple stars, a dark purple planet, a light purple planet, a red planet with a yellow ring. She has a gray moon-like face with large sparkly black eyes and a little frown. She's wearing a black fabric witch hat. She's resting on my palm and there's green fur in the background of the picture.

Trump is shuffling through the devastated landscape in Gaza, a little fist raised in triumph, his long tie dragging behind him leaving a blood trail. Scattered among the landscape are multiple remains of munitions and bit of shrapnel, most are labelled with the American flag, Trump is saying, “So lucky I was here to stop this destruction”.

So trump gets the jab. Flu and Covid. That should piss MAGAts off. Why would a man who is so fine a specimen of health, who is chosen by God, who has publicly downplayed and denounced vaccines need to, or want to be vaccinated.
I know, I know…it’s MAGA that we’re talking about.
