This is a great, great piece! Love both the art and the writing.
I spent a week in the middle of the atlantic this summer, on the last ocean liner in the world, and merely lost my mind 😌🌊 I wrote/drew about it for @washingtonpost.com - you can read the story here! wapo.st/4nyr7ju

I have to conclude that the “Bad Blood” song I see people referring to is not the Neil Sedaka - Elton John banger from 1975.
