The house passed the SAVE Act last night. If you need to know more about why that’s bad and why we need to stop it in the senate, let me explain it to you (in comic form)!

The House is voting today on the SAVE America Act that could exclude millions of eligible citizens from registering to vote if we don't have passports, access to our birth certificates, or if those documents don't reflect a name change.

Tell your representative to vote NO.
Stop Anti-Voter Bills Now
The SAVE Act, the SAVE America Act, and MEGA Act could keep millions of eligible U.S. citizens from being able to vote. Urge Congress to reject these bills.

A reminder of one of the loveliest pairs of siblings in the dictionary: ‘muscle’ and ‘mouse’. To the Roman imagination, the flexed biceps of a (typically naked) athlete resembled a rodent scuttling under the skin. ‘Musculus’, in Latin, means ‘little mouse’.

I'm not saying that Canada is perfect, I'm saying that the bar is pretty low right now.
Four frame comic. First frame shows a Canadian flag. Text reads : the new canadian citizenship policy, which was enacted in December 2025, restores citizenship by descent, for ancestors as far as you can prove. 2nd frame shows a locomotive. Text reads : that means that if one of your grandparents, great-grand- parents or even farther was demonstrably born in Canada, you don't even need to apply for citizenship - you are retro- actively granted it. Third frame shows an old dusty register book. Text reads : the process involves linking your CanadA-born ancestor to yourself by digging up a paper trail of birth or wedding certificates, proof of immigration or adoption, etc. thanks to Canadian archive- keeping traditions, this is possible by reaching out to towns, parishes, national archives*... Fourth frame shows old factory chimneys. Text reads : between 1840 and 1930, 925 000 French-Canadians fled persecution and economic oppression by moving to the usa. today, their descendants represent around ten million people, or 3% of the U.s. population. if it's time for you to come back, we haven't forgotten about you.

I’ve put a free printable PDF of the below image up on my website (from the comic ‘Goat and Sheep by the Well’). Print it out and staple it to a telephone pole, tape it up on your wall, etc. www.joshuawcotter.com/jwc-comics-a...
A drawing of an anthropomorphic goat and sheep, the goat is saying “THEY UNDERSTAND THAT THE FORCE OPPOSING HOPE IS DESPAIR. THE DESPAIR WE FEEL IS MANUFACTURED. AND WHAT HAS BEEN MANUFACTURED CAN BE TAKEN APART.”

Make Art (1/4)
A rabbit in overalls and a goat in pants are sitting on the ground drawing pictures. The rabbit is saying “ART POSES A THREAT TO CORPORATOLRATIC SYSTEMS BECAUSE A PURPOSE OF ART IS TO REMIND THE INDIVIDUAL OF THEIR INHERENT AUTONOMY.”, the goat adds “THEIR HUMANITY.”

Meet my newest creation: Mabel the Interdimensional Spider and Builder of Haunted Labyrinths. I designed and hand-sewed her, and I hand-embroidered all her flowers and markings.

jeremycreature.bigcartel.com
Here's a lovely photo of Mabel. She's a fabric art spider of sorts with 9 red and black eyes on top. She has two mouths on either side of her body full of sharp teeth. She has six long green arms with rows of yellow lines on them. Her body is also covered with green and yellow embroidered flowers and yellow line markings. In the background there's a lovely galaxy print fabric. Here's another lovely photo of Mabel where we can see her closer up. Here's another lovely photo of Mabel where we can see her from above.

Each flower is about 1.5cm high.

We couldn't require masks at Twin Cities Zine Fest (venue policy), but we tried to cultivate a culture where people would wear them (free masks at the door, etc.) Look how many people are wearing masks!!! 😭 I love the zine community. 💗 #TCZF2026
Zinesters at tables selling their zines and attendees talking with them. Almost everyone is wearing a mask.
