Before I was born, we used deficit spending to employ people in public works to help end the Depression, then to defeat Nazism. Under Emperor Drumpfüch, we pay billionaires to commandeer our government.

Zelensky on Venezuela:
“About Venezuela? How should I respond to that? Well, what can I say? If… If it is possible to act with dictators like this, it means the United States knows what to do next. Thank you”
Omg I love it.

Although Trump’s abhorrent political beliefs are ultimately more damaging to the nation, his reprehensible personality is more shocking to me on a personal level.
I can’t fathom how anyone can support someone who is so obviously a terrible human being.

I'm a old cartoonist and language crank. I HATE hearing everyone under 55 using "like," meaninglessly, CONSTANTLY. God forbid you speak a forceful, simple declarative sentence--like an American, ffs--without instantly retreating mealy-mouthed to Like-land. What tf happened to you? Knock it off!

I’m starting a movement against music in waiting rooms. If I’m sitting for an hour, I want to read, not listen to music I didn’t choose.

Calling the press “fake news” is harmful. Calling them “seditious, perhaps even treasonous” for publishing reporting is something else entirely. Treason is a capital crime. Suggesting journalists should face it for exercising their First Amendment rights and doing their jobs is dangerous.

At last, I'm able to name the worst performed and written song of recent times, or possibly ever.. Now playing at my gym: "Robbery" by JuiceWRLD!

Hong Kong has many virtues, but is noted for its crowded housing. One public housing project was named "Pak Tin," which tickled me.. couldn't find my (dull) picture of it, so here's a shot of another, optimistically named "Healthy Village."

Rosa Parks showed how one act of courage can spark change. Today we honor her legacy by standing up for equal rights and demanding a stronger democracy.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.
Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

A demo I did solo, trying out for penciling and coloring Dan Brereton's cool women-in-demon-prison Vampirella tale for editor Bon Amiglano. Inker was the best, my pal Mike Manley. ~2008.
(I did OK, but soon felt I'd drawn it too NICE: eye-comforting, rather than seamy and intense.)

From Rick Remender's "Doll & Creature", c. 2000. Pencils mine, inking by Mike Manley. Toning by the then young Peter Secosh and/or Jeremy Saliba. These guys made this maybe the most beautifully crafted page I've ever had a hand in.

"Action Planet Comics Hot Twisted Love." I was goofing on old love comics, written for females by men. The story that inspired me was drawn beautifully by Frazetta! I stole a couple lines whole, which appear all in boldface on the last page.
In this solo effort, I aimed to draw à la W. Wood. FUN!

My 2-yr stint as a Marvel guy was not much. My superhero penciling was so-so. Still, 5 years on, Rick Remender brought me onto his new title "Doll and Creature"! He chose to make it all-action for the first hunk of pages. A ballsy move, considering. I didn't stink it up, sez 2025 me!
