Today feels more like a funeral than a celebration.
A crowd of journalists and camera operators tapes a press conference on the steps of the Capitol. The decaying corpses of Jefferson, Washington, and Ben Franklin stand before them. Washington says, "Seriously? I think the reason we came back from the dead is pretty obvious. Next question."

Granted, if the college of Cardinals had elected Donald Trump as the next pope, he'd have gotten rid of Satan on day one, and would be shipping plane loads of non-Catholics off to prison in El Salvador by now. But I like the new pope's attitudes about not abusing the poor & defenseless.

Prisoner of Mimicry — Bizarro | Naked Cartoonist
Among the most captivating of birds are parrots. Their ability to speak has fascinated humans for who knows how long; probably since shortly after we developed language. But do they know what they are...

A new episode of my graphic novel "Peyote Cowboy" has been posted. It's a short one, but sets up the next episode nicely. See "Buenos Noches" here and now. peyotecowboy.net/ch-14-ep-4-b...

RFK Jr. has hired anti-vaccine activist David Geier to lead a study looking to link autism to vaccines, although that link has been heavily studied and thoroughly debunked. Geier does not have a medical degree & was disciplined in Maryland for practicing medicine without a license.
M(aking)AGA
Comic of a support group consisting of Bigfoot, a leprechaun, a mermaid, and a pink unicorn. On a chair next to the mermaid is a small vile of syrem. She points to it and says, "I'd like everyone to welcome our newest member to the group, the vaccine that causes autism."

We'd better all start studying the languages on our 23andMe reports.

Comic of a scene in the Oval Office. The president is a Native American, and he is signing an official document on his desk as three non-white aids of various races look on. The caption reads: "January 2029, President Standing Bear signs an executive order to deport all Caucasians back to Europe."

St. Patrick chased the snakes out of Ireland. Meduse had snakes for hair.

I heard that yesterday was a holiday, and if true, I should've posted this cartoon.

Comic drawing of a Catholic bishop wearing a green robe and sitting at a cocktail table with a drink in front of him. Across from him is a woman in a Greek toga with a glass of wine in front of her. She is completely bald and covering her face in shame. The bishop sheepishly says, "Sorry." The caption below says, "ill-fated blind date: st. Patrick and Medusa."

I've posted a new story on Medium about superhero fashions. "Here's What Violent Criminals Don't Want You to Know: They're terrified of Spandex." Some of my comics illustrate the narrative. Enjoy!

I've posted a new story on Medium.com titled "The Black Terror & Red Salvation of Hell's Orphange." It's a personal story about my first few months of Catholic school, of course, and it's as hilarious as the title suggests. AS always, I've included some comics. medium.com/the-springbo...

Because I do art for a living, people ask me what I think of AI. Creativity is our species' superpower. Using a machine to do it for us is like Superman hanging up his cape in favor of flying budget airlines.
Comic illustration of Manhattan. The caption reads: Another quiet day in Metropolis—until Superman takes off to save Lois Lane, unaware that his cape is caught in the door of a bus. Upon looking closer, we see a small silhouette of Superman flying away with a city bus attached to his cape.

My weekly blog post awaits your eyes. While slamming the current administration of comic book villains, I also provide some silver linings to the storm they are fomenting.
And our week of Bizarro cartoons will give you something to chuckle about.

If you're a member of Medium dot com ($5/mo), I've been posting articles there for a few months. My most recent is called "Being Famous Isn't What You Think: It Can Even Kill You." I hope you'll give it a look. medium.com/the-springbo...
A woman stands on the balcony of a high-rise building at night, wistfully staring off with a glass of wine in her hand. Next to her, Mickey Mouse stands leaning on the balcony, also with a glass of wine. He too, looks wistful. Mickey says, "I'm sick and tired of being anthropomorphized. Why can't I succeed or fail based on my abilities as a rodent?"

Vice-Psycho Trump & Random-Thought-Generator RFK have been whining about increased diagnoses of autism. They are wrong (SURPRISE!). I'm autistic, & I know what I'm talking about. Here's a terrific article about the truth. charlotteishere.medium.com/no-rising-ad...
Yes, Autism and ADHD Diagnoses Are On the Rise — But That’s Not a Problem
Or, why RFK and Donald Trump are wrong to stoke fears about neurodivergence.
