I just learned that the artist behind this iconic comic, a copy of which hung in my apartments off Hope for a decade and still hangs in my faraway house today, died in March.

Godspeed.

A hand holding a postcard of a four-panel comic in a Mary-Worth-esque art style. At the top it says PROVIDENCE in letters that outline bits of the city’s skyline. Byline reads: BY THE MAD PECK, DOC DANIELS, I.C.LOTZ, & THE FRONT PORCH

Panel 1: “PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND. WHERE IT RAINS TWO DAYS OUT OF THREE EXCEPT DURING THE RAINY SEASON WHEN IT SNOWS LIKE A BITCH” A woman in a vampy dress runs through the rain. Offpanel, someone says “A MESS, AIN'T IT?”

Panel 2: “AND FRIENDSHIP IS A ONE WAY STREET” Two cars crash in front of a street sign that reads Friendship and One Way

Panel 3: “RICH FOLKS LIVE ON POWER STREET.” Three obviously rich women lounge in a room; it’s raining outside

Panel 4: “BUT MOST OF US LIVE OFF HOPE.” Two couples, dressed in more working-class clothes, dance in front of a phonograph

We are not as great of a nation as we once believed to be. Whitewashing history has serious repercussions.

I never said we were Nazis. We aren't, we're their grandfather. This is our own home-grown brand of fascism. ICE is not stopping at illegals, they're violating and executing US citizens in broad daylight. Enjoy your measles.
