Gentle reminder that in the late '50s, the U.S. government did not censor comics. Comics companies censored themselves.

This is the playbook, folks.
If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.
Do not be quiet in this moment.

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

I mostly letter my own stuff these days because I like to have it on the art board (plus that’s space I don’t have to draw in!), but when I was digital, I worked with some fine letterers, including Natalie Jane at American Mythology!
