Illustrator and occasionally interesting character. Part-time rogue, general scoundrel, occasional miscreant.

I did my best to compile as many protest safety notes as possible into a one page foldout zine! Coincidentally…it seems the file has breached containment…like it’s available for anyone to print or hand out 👀⚖️

toonyart.com/s/PSZine.pdf
The cover spread from a one page zine printout. The left (back cover) features images of a scale and gavel, with notes on First Amendment and filming rights, and the advice to “shut the fuck up.” On the right is the cover, a megaphone with the title text “PROTEST SAFELY.” Behind it are faceless protestors. The subtitle notes, “A brief collection of tips from around the internet.” A spread from one page zine printout. On the left is an illustration of a protestor with the title “What to Wear,” including a helmet, goggles, ear plugs, gloves, a mask, a backpack, and layers/long sleeves/pants. Each have additional notes explaining their use. On the right is “What to Bring,” featuring illustrations of a backpack, money, water bottles, a mask, a granola bar and bag of trail mix, a first aid kit, folded shirt and pants, and an ID, with “DIY Defense” listed underneath it showing one protestor using a luggage case, one holding a trash can lid, and one using an open umbrella as a shield. A spread from one page zine printout. On the left is “Protect Your Identity,” advising to cover up identifying features, avoiding photography of protesters, deactivating biometric phone-unlocking tools, and writing emergency contact and counsel numbers on your arm. On the right is “Be Like Water,” the motto of the 2019 Hong Kong protests, and the text “BEWARE THE BAIT” with images of a palette of bricks and a masked man holding a crowbar toward a protestor with a sign, “Psst, free crowbar?” encouraging the reader not to engage with traps and undercover agents. A spread from one page zine printout featuring the hazards of protest opposition, including tear gas, rubber bullets, and LRAD sound cannons and flash bangs. Caution tape images accompany the text explaining the dangers of each, how to flush out eyes that have been maced/etc, and how to extinguish a gas canister with a traffic cone.

Hey, I know there is a lot of need. It's why I waited so long. I was hoping I would find some options. I have committed myself, I've applied for unemployment & reached out to family this is my last option.
Please share/donate if you can.

If anyone has any ideas also my DMs.

I’m telling everyone: Do not open the door or say a word unless you’re expecting someone and know exactly who it is.

Know your rights. Pass these around…

🐕 Krypto > Streaky 🐈

H/T @stevenflooowe.bsky.social
Superman, battered and broken, lies facedown in the snow, blood dripping from his mouth as he whispers his last hope into the icy air: "pspspsps, pspspspsps." In the distance, Streaky the Supercat emerges, a heroic tabby in a bold red cape, strutting through the snow with the confidence of a savior who knows he's about to make an entrance. Cut to Superman's lifeless skeleton, crumbled in the snow-Streaky's signature tardiness and cat nature strikes again.

Cover by Joe Maneely.
Adventures into Terror #29 (1954). On the cover, a man laughs off reports of vampire sightings in a newspaper while a freaky looking vampire with large wings, claws, and big black eyes descends on him from above. The body of a woman is lying on the ground behind them.
