The energy I’m bringing into 2026.

Finally realized what Mamdani’s abandoned subway station inauguration was bringing to mind.

It’s been done.

Same as it ever was:

“Orthodox Jewry is unwilling to abandon the conviction that it is not the aim of the German government to destroy the German Jews. Even if some individuals harbor such an intention, we do not believe that it has the approval of the Fuehrer, or of the German government.“
Excerpt from the October 14, 1933 letter from the Free Association for the Interests of Orthodox Judaism, the Reich Alliance of Law-Abiding Synagogue Communities in Halberstadt, and the National Agudat Israel Organization to Hitler, entitled Dankschift far dem Herr Reichskanzler — Thank you to the Chancellor. “Marxist materialism and Communist atheism have nothing whatsoever in common with the spirit of the affirmative Jewish religion tradition, with true, historical Judaism, with the Orthodox Jewish doctrine binding on the Jewish people. For as long as can be remembered, we have, in speech and writing, been battling against this anti-religious attitude. In the instruction of our youth, in public lectures and from the pulpit, and in the Orthodox religious press, we have always countered the corrupting spirit of materialism with religious idealism, by stressing man’s responsibility to God and the nation. We have declared war on the atheist movement and engaged it in combat. We have raised up the Orthodox Jewish law as a rampart against depravity and dissipation and against capitalist excesses, a law that calls for the strictest morality in the conduct of life, that opposes the pursuit of gain for its own sake and demands the most trenchant renunciation of material advantages for the sake of religious and ethical principles. . . . In the fight against the materialistic spirit of Marxism, only the revival of the religious mainsprings, only the return of society to God, will be crowned with success. In this struggle, the true, religious Jewish people could stand shoulder to shoulder with the German people, guided by faith in God, renewed and rejuvenated.”

Peppermint Patty and Marcie at camp, talking about Chuck. Patty: “I kept thinking about you and Chuck up here together, and it was driving me crazy!”

The White House thing sure seems like a reaction to No Kings Day.

Classic monstrous abuser behavior: wife goes out for drinks with the girlfriends, husband shoots her dog.
Picture of the East Wing being destroyed by a backhoe. Oy.

The whole desk/lectern schtick seems to be cribbed from Monty Python, which works for me.

Didn’t expect them to be Republicans.
Comic panel of two 50s-era men in business suits shaking hands outside a train station. One says “welcome to Chicago” and the other says “I have special orders from Moscow to take charge of communists here and train them to overthrow democracy.”

Our Lady of Guadalupe has been around for centuries.
Like it says on the package: Our Lady of Guadalupe, the lady in an oddly lozenge-shaped boat.

The covers of Love & Rockets #22 and Invisibles v.2 #3.

A Sienkiewicz Electra sketch spotted with mold.

A tiny painting of a Victorian woman by Eddie Campbell.

And one of my favorites: what may or may not be a genuine Schulz sketch of Snoopy and Woodstock. Got it on eBay and still can’t tell.
Photo of little golden dog looking out an NYC apartment window around sunrise. On the near wall is the original art for Love & Rockets #22, on the far wall is the original art for Invisibles v.2 #3.

Happy Fourth.
Extremely wordy 1952 Superman one-pager, “Hop on the Welfare Wagon!” in which Superman talks about the benefits of funding health care and other public services through taxes.

Anti-Upton Sinclair cartoon from the 30s.
Editorial cartoon showing the motion picture industry (and its $100,000,000 annual payroll”) leaving California for Florida because Sinclair has an “excellent chance of being elected.”

In viewing media coverage of Mamdani over the next few months, it might be useful to remember that the public relations industry came into being to prevent socialist author Upton Sinclair from being elected governor of California.

Hearst, L.B. Mayer, and Earl Warren all pitched in.
Editorial cartoon showing “the boot of Sinclairism” threatening to crush California.

“Funky Breakfast,” Australian Home Journal, June 1973.
Where to begin? An early 70s Australian couple, who appear to be nude, in bed with a Siamese cat, covered by the fur of what I’d hope is a sheep. In front of them is a table lavishly covered in a horrifying array of food you’d never actually want for breakfast, funky or not, including snails, cauliflower, corn and (maybe) olives, some sort of meat sticks (?), and two ominous looking not-exactly-gingerbread men. The bedroom seems to be in a basement with brick walls. There’s a wicker table with a bottle of wine in the background. The whole thing smacks of 70s hedonism, so strong you can smell it. It smells like musk and patchouli and, I don’t know, snails.
