Sorry that @cartooncounty.bsky.social has (for now, anyway) been defeated by zoom bombers. We’ve stopped streaming in the face of hardcore p*rn! Although thankfully all the interviews are later broadcast on @panelborders.bsky.social

Cartoonists launch Cartoonists For #Gaza to respond to the humanitarian crisis in #Palestine.

The artwork protests violence, calls for awareness, and demands action through visual storytelling and dissent.
