Not even remotely the point, but this napkin really drives home the idea that much of caricature drawing is stopping before you add all the details that distract from the essence of the subject.
Sharing @billamend.bsky.social’s spot on cartoon for tonight with alt-text added. And ugh.

So this is the story of... found family, trying to break free of past cycles of trauma, weird little spirits, and... little hats.

I was a scrutineer last night, and I’ll tell you the system that is in place is brutal. Those folks deserve our respect. There are some failsafes, but having witnessed the process it’s easy to see how double counting can occur.

Well done, UCP. Everyone’s faith in elections counting is restored. Spare a thought for the poor election workers, who already hold themselves to such a high standard, being put in a position of second guessing themselves like this. lethbridgenewsnow.com/2025/10/22/s...

Admittedly, Charles Rusnell weighing in on Al Beeber was NOT on my bingo card for this election.
Beeber's ad at the bottom of the page says he is a voice that can be trusted - did he pay for the ad or did his employer give him the space for free or at a cut rate? This is the obvious sort of conflict of interest questions that arise.

And the #banning of #comicbooks in Alberta under the auspices of ‘protecting the children’ is even older - my MA research focused on Alberta’s ‘forgotten’ censor - the AB Advisory Board on Objectionable Publications and their anti-comics campaign from 1954-1976

You are asking a lot of questions that are raised but in no way answered by my t-shirt.
I should probably stop wearing my Forest Fire Vax t-shirt in public when I’m not in the mood to have to explain it.
