We had an amazing turnout over here. They're saying seven million nationwide. I hope people realize it's not just Democrats. Everyone is pissed. Every type of person. Even his base knows now that he lied to them. If we held an election today his administration would be tossed out immediately. Gone.

In the end, years later, Americans eventually got back together with cancer (got back together with the incompetent and/or wicked Republican party). They chose cancer (Trump) twice -- once after he already destroyed the economy and killed a million people with his pandemic fumble. How? Smh

I've been baking drumsticks. After asking friends for advice, I finally got them crispy on the outside by broiling them after baking them. Perfect.

This is a cartoon that I drew for a small independent newspaper back in 2002. It was an updated version of a cartoon I drew for a small self-published cartoon book in 1990. I drew cartoons for the school newspaper in high school and college and drew cartoons for two small local newspapers.

A couple more old pieces of art. The first image is a logo I designed for my friend's small independent radio station back in 2021. The second image is some fan art I did in 2017 featuring Eric Draven from James O'Barr's independent comic book, The Crow (1989).

I guess I should start posting some artwork on occasion. These are old drawings. The first two images are snippets (eh?) from some small press anthology work I did back in 2014. The second two images are from Inktober 2017. Just some sketches. Just vibes.
