One-panel cartoon of Trumpy (#44, volume 2), with the title/logo in the top left corner, "by the Dæricks Gröss" in the top right corner, the Studio G logo in the bottom left corner with "find us on BlueSky @trumpy.studiogart.net", and "Vol.2#44 01-16-2026" in the bottom right corner. The panel depicts Trumpy in the background standing at a lectern speaking to the press, represented by a bunch of hands holding microphones pointed at him. In the foreground, we see two press reporters, one whispering to the other. Panel 1 Trumpy: "...It is my great honor to announce that the Board Of Peace has been formed... ...It is the greatest and most prestigious board ever assembled at any time, any place." Reporter, whispering: "...More like 'bored of peace'."

A purplish demon man, well dressed an groomed, dressed with a white suit and a grey turtleneck as well as golden jewelry. He is picture side view, eyes in shadow, looking on the side to the camera with a quite creepy smile on his face. He is holding a old-timey radio microphone with one hand, leaning on a fancy lectern on the other. Behind him, an abstract golden halo segment the rest of the picture, each segment showing a different newspaper article clearly written to be religious propaganda mixed with political communication. The character belongs to @vihala.bsky.social. art arttrade trade art illustration

This was my cubicle favorite. Interesting that it's centered around the same phrase.
Dilbert 8-frame strip. Pointy-haired boss is at a lectern giving a presentation. PHB: The theme of our engineering conference is PHB: "Employees are our most valuable asset." PHB: and like most assets, you decline in value over time. PHB: I know what most of you're thinking: not all assets decline in value. PHB: For example, fine art is worth more every year PHB: [Shows slide of Wally] but I don't think that Louvre will be asking for one of these anytime soon. PHB: On your way out, Mister Catbert will give each of you a certificate of depreciation. Wally [in line for certificate]: It's still better than last year's theme, "Have you earned your air today?"

The Patricides, ‘Each According to Their Own Nature’
https://botfrens.com/collections/216/contents/1006906
Just as cats instinctively chase mice, so do these children playing war resemble their father, who is in the armed forces. The Bible on the lectern is more in keeping with his wife and the youngest child, who do not join in the fray. With this painting Bles may have meant to show that a harmonious family can include members with different dispositions, in which some children take after their father, and others their mother.

four-panel cartoon of Trumpy (#43, volume 2), with the title/logo in the top left corner, "by the Dæricks Gröss" in the top right corner, the Studio G logo in the bottom left corner with "find us on BlueSky @trumpy.studiogart.net", and "Vol.2#43 01-13-2026" in the bottom right corner. All four panels depict Trumpy in the background standing at a lectern speaking to the press, represented by a bunch of hands holding microphones pointed at him. His speech isn't shown, he is in the background. In the foreground, we see two press reporters whispering to each other. The panels are basically the same, with Trumpy changing positions as he gestures in the background. Panel 1 Reporter 1: "He's rambling again..." Reporter 2: "Incoherent..." Panel 2 Reporter 1: "Wow. That was racist." Reporter 2: "Very. And frighteningly dangerous." Panel 3 Reporter 1: "Enough is enough! Someone should Do something! That's It! I'm going to ask a challenging question!" Reporter 2: "No, you won't." Panel 4 Reporter 1: "No, I won't..."

I found a video of Drake Maye stepping up to the lectern, as it initially appeared he was pants-less. But he had grey uniform pants on, on the field, appears to have grey below the waist, and lectern blocks the full view of him. The camera is focused on the lectern.

@notpodium.bsky.social it’s playoff time in the NFL, which means players stepping up to the lecterns after winning the game, to explain why they were confident they’d be speaking from the lectern as winners.

Featured: Drake Maye of the Patriots, still wearing football pants and a winter beanie.

The woman who spoke at a lectern[1] with a Nazi slogan on it thinks other people should "grow up" because they swore a bit? I'd rather see *any amount* of profanity or immaturity from government officials than *even one* repetition of genocidal tropes. STFU POS.

Nowhere near the list of important things about this story but….

that there’s a lectern not a podium.

Merriam-Webster, mad respect to them, disagrees with me but I will shout it out, from atop a podium, behind a lectern, and on a dais if necessary.

Auction Setting: A cartoon by Charles Barsotti of a man with a mustache and glasses, standing at a lectern, holding a gavel, and gesturing to a darling little dog sitting beside the lectern, who’s looking down with his head cocked to the side. Caption: "The bidding will start at eleven million dollars.”
