I started drawing canaries a few months ago to celebrate free speech and share the sentiment freely. It’s also an exercise in awareness and vigilance. We do not want martyrs. We need to hear these strong voices sing.

I was very annoyed at not winning the big penis prize (due to my penis size being rejected by the judges for some reason) but now the big penis prize winner has given me the big penis prize so now everyone knows I have the big penis.
