Oh My God! 😭 You Dropped This Queen 👑

My latest comic for The Nib was written by my friend Mike Thompson- it’s his first published comics work! 

The Nib has been a steady source of income and a huge support to me and many other indie cartoonists for years. They publish amazing work, but will be cut loose by their financial backer in July. You can read the official post about it from editor Matt Bors here.  They are still running their kickstarter-funded print magazine, but have to put digital publishing on hiatus until they figure out their next steps. If you’ve been thinking about supporting their membership program, now would be a good time. They have levels from $2 to $40 per month. I really don’t want this to be my last Nib piece!

Keep your messaging simple:

“Trump fired everyone in charge of airplane safety, and a week later planes started crashing into each other.”

That’s it. That’s the messaging. Don’t get bogged down disputing Trump’s false claims. Just blame him, in short and repeatable sentences.

Absolutely amazing 🏳️‍🌈🫶🌈

As someone who has cousins and grandparents in Puerto Rico, seeing someone FINALLY take notice of the atrocities and SAY something is tear jerking to me. My Abuela literally built her own house from recycled wood and materials because the wage she earned from 3 different jobs couldn’t cover the rent costs for a Single bedroom apartment. Just because tourists think Puerto Rico is a “thriving island” doesn’t mean that they truly explored Puerto Rico. They only seen America’s Puerto Rico. They take photos of the mountains, not seeing the metal and wood houses hanging from the cliffs. They eat the food of “Puerto Rico”, not seeing the tired mother sweating behind the grill with her children waiting tables, praying for a tip. They dance to the music, not seeing bloody fingers worn from playing, or the tired strain in the musician’s voice. And now the wage is going even further down, making us, once Proud people who built our homes from the ground up, beg for every airplane to come just so we can eat. Spread the word, of this injustice, of this inhumane act, and pray for a change. Because we are.

me when some Puerto Rican/U.S. citizens think it’s a privilege that they don’t need a passport to travel to their country

Adobe is going to spy on your projects. This is insane.

Yes, It Is Just Like The Nazis

Hey so remember Anne Frank? The Jewish young girl who hid in an attic and was killed by the Nazis? The emblematic person we think of when we think of victims of the Holocaust? 

She did not die in a gas chamber or in a death camp. She died in a ‘temporary’ detention center for the mass deportations which preceded the death camps. She was in that camp because a patriotic neighbor ratted her out to the German deportation force. She died, not of a bullet to the back of the head or choking on gas, but of typhus. She contracted typhus because the Nazis couldn’t realistically deport people at the rate they wanted to, because before the death camps their infrastructure couldn’t handle the sudden influx of ethnic minorities they had decided to imprison, and because they didn’t care about the consequences of that so their deportation detention centers were unhygienic and prisoners were underfed and overcrowded. 

And she was picked up by the deportation force not because she was an illegal citizen but because, just like the US is doing with asylum seekers, she was part of a formerly recognized class of citizens who were legally redefined to lack citizenship by a new administration. 

Anne Frank is exactly like the children who have already died in the United State’s detention camps. Exactly. Down to the very last detail. There. Is. Not. A. Single. Difference. 

So unless you want to fucking tell me that Anne goddamn Frank was not a victim of the Holocaust, y’all can shut the fuck up with that “stop making concentration camp comparisons, you’re diminishing the suffering of the Holocaust” bullshit.
