Great Stephff cartoon about the Miss Universe Organization controversy. Thai owner/organizers denigrated Miss Mexico and other women contestants, & paid the price in bad publicity & ridicule (which they fear the most). Get Stephff's weekly cartoon for free in @fccthai.bsky.social weekly Bulletin!

Great cartoon commentary about #Trump's tariff bashing of China. What is left out is both he and China are shitting on everyone else in the process of their fight.

Very pleased to see there was a big #NoKings rally in my hometown of Falmouth, MA over this past weekend. A couple of photos here, courtesy of the local newspaper, the Falmouth Enterprise. Activism starts at local level, and builds to the national!

The real #Bangkok sinkhole is not in the roads, but in Thai politics and erosion of democracy! Great cartoon by Stephff showing the symbolic Democracy Monument under threat from military and conservative elements.

The real Anutin revealed ;-)! Great cartoon by Bangkok-based cartoonist, Stephff. People's Party need to watch Anutin like a hawk to make sure he doesn't betray the deal to dissolve the Parliament in 4 months & return power to the voters to decide.

The Republican Party motto is apparently "do what I say, not what I do" as they trample free expression in the wake of the #CharlieKirk assassination.

The very weird Thai political aquarium through the eyes of editorial cartoonist Stephff. Not surprising that the eel, known to be the slipperiest of fishes, got the PM's chair.

Birds of a feather flock together. War criminal #Myanmar military chief Min Aung Hlaing getting cozy with human rights pariah North Korea supremo Kim Jong-Un. Both of these people belong in a prison for their crimes against humanity.
