Inflatable green frog suits are selling out everywhere, so I might not be able to attend No Kings Day as a frog.

An alternate idea is to wear a Swamp Thing suit instead. I'm just afraid of being given the Frankenstein monster treatment and being chased by angry, nativist MAGA types with torches.

I wish Steve Skeates were still alive so I could share this with him. I was one of his Facebook friends and miss him.

Cry havoc, and let slip the frogs of war!

I was doing some research to figure out how often frogs appeared in Swamp Thing, and I suddenly remembered this story.

Here's an image from "The Gourmet" by Steve Skeates and Berni Wrightson that appeared in DC Comics' Plop! #1. Angry frogs are out to enact revenge on a selfish glutton.

Since frogs and selfish gluttons are in the news, I thought some of you would enjoy it.

Swamp Thing and the Un-men. From one of my favorite comics as a kid. Art by the great Berni Wrightson.

What kind of president makes war on his own citizens? Who the fuck sends troops into cities to shoot people?

What kind of courts allow this coup d'etat? Oh, right: The Supine Court.

And we just shrug and put up with this crap?

This country was built on protest.

I’m determined to protect that basic Right no matter who is doing it as long as it’s done without violence.

Also - fascists can suck a bag of lemons.

Could Chevy Chase be suiting up to join the ICE protests?

When you're buying a Halloween costume this year, get something you can also use at ICE protests.
