Does the FIFA Peace Prize mean nothing any more? This makes a mockery of the whole thing. I hope past winners return the bribes FIFA paid them, and free the slaves who built their World Cup stadia.

The Lion in Winter (1968)
Katherine Hepburn plays Eleanor of Aquitaine, released from prison to celebrate Christmas with her husband, King Henry the II. Full of insane one-liners and a star studded cast, this movie demands your full attention as love and hate ensnare each character. 10/10

I want to do some sketches to send to comic shops. Here's the plan: I do a sketch of the title character of IS TED OK? and send it to your shop sometime in January. Shops, you'd post it on your socials or newsletters, to raffle to customers who add IS TED OK? to their pull list. [1/3]

Toth (1952) was so versatile. His continued experimentation just pushed the form. He was in his early to mid 20s when he drew this.
