@jimeato.bsky.social has an incredible art style coupled with zany story telling ability. This rising star is now taking commissions, best investment you'll ever make. And make sure to get his comics - he's super generous and will always include extras like this Papa Balloon "action figure":)

Hi. We’re a group of comic book writers & artists who are furious about Project 2025, The Heritage Foundation’s plan to consolidate power under authoritarian rule. So we made a bunch of comics to explain their agenda and move you to vote against it. stopproject2025comic.org

Trump's Project 2025 is a detailed plan to shut you up, and shut you out. Don’t let it do either. Read on, then vote.

Bonjour! Having a great time in Quebec. For many English is just not a thing here, but everyone is super friendly and chill. Would we even have a USA if not for the French - maybe we should all be speaking French?
