By the way, if Blöödchëëp ever goes on tour and needs an opener, I know a guy.

Well, I know a fish.

An illustration of a red fish playing a guitar while in mid-air above clouds. The words ROCK COD are above the scene, written in an 80s rock n roll-style font.

I created this design around 2010. It's available as a shirt or sticker on redbubble(dot)com.

I love it!

If you ever decide to do the metal HERON design as a shirt, I'd wear it every time I go anywhere near the Bay. That way the herons and egrets there would know it's safe to practice with their bands.

I'd love it if you'd update your print selection with some of your more recent comics! I'm getting the vulture one with my Bloodcheep shirt, but would love the baby songbird chart, Northern Lights, spooky bird stories, carpenter bees, whales, snakes, & some others.

...

Okay maybe ALL the others ;)

To avoid tariffs, Cards Against Humanity becomes “information material,” not a game

You absolutely, definitely cannot play it.

If you watch closely, you'll see they're doing this opposite an actual funeral procession.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Really, truly amazing that OpenAI wants us to believe that they are worth a trillion dollars but also they are so desperate for revenue that they created an infinite SlopTok app that opens them up to a billion lawsuits just so that they can maybe someday make it even worse by filling it with ads.

They'll just send in the national guard to take over. We all saw how good they were at cleaning parks so those big lawns should be a snap.
