Happy October 1st! I'm going to shamelessly promote some of my spooky T-shirt designs. Like them? Then, buy them here:

#halloween #october #spooky

Dark gray T-shirt featuring a tall, pumpkin-headed creature with a large wood hammer sneaking up behind a pumpkin smashing youth in cowboy garb.

A black T-shirt with a knife-wielding skeleton running toward the viewer, seemingly piloted by four small, red devils.

I feel like Team MAGA has decided that that "I can't believe you'd even ask this question" card is their Get Out of Jail Pass. That, by acting indignant about a question being asked, they don't have to answer. It is vitally important that the interviewer follow up with "but I am asking."

Bizarro Clark Kent comes off as some sort of AI automaton with two modes:
1) "I haven't had time to look into that."
2) "Here's some racist fearmongering made up whole cloth."
Maybe he needs to set down the Mein Kampf fanfiction he's working on and read some laws and the actual Constitution.

Screencap of Mike Johnson: "I haven't had time to dig in and read that."

Screencap of Mike Johnson rambling about "illegal rabble rousers" and asserting them are stealing money from pregnant mom's or some odd shit.

I feel like this is the path forward. Blocking ICE but doing so in a way that it would be absolutely embarrassing for Trump to sic the military on the protestors.

The framing on this is garbage. There are 1.5 billion cars in the world and 60 million new ones each year. Stop making people feel guilty about lifesaving technology. Direct your guilt trip at the Corporations who do the most polluting.

I tweeked the art from my earlier X-men/punk illustration a little and threw it on a shirt because everything deserves a shirt! Perfect for your next Comicon or Punk Rock show.

"Uh - we'll schedule it, I guess, as soon as she wants."

I like how he tries to frame it like she's the one holding things up. "Well, gee, shucks. I just presumed she didn't wanna be sworn in. Go figure..."

"It's mine baby mine" is a hell of a campaign slogan for a narcissist.

[Shameless plug] I threw this on a T-shirt, if you need some Halloween season clothing.[/Shameless plug]

Post a mage!

My D&D character from 2020: Wayge Sarloque the Sage Warlock! And all the odd stuff he carried around with him like a pack rat. (Screen cap from Instagram.)
