Bienvenido, Jazz Pickles. Have a seat and moisturize your lips in case you feel a smile coming on.
Believe it or not, the title of this week’s post, “If Ice Absorbed the Salvation Army,” was an afterthought.
I arrived at the idea for this comic by combining the Salvation Army with the military expression “special forces,” then concocting a ludicrous scenario to illustrate it.
As soon as I dropped the image into this week’s blog post and began searching for a title, however, it occurred to me that if the current demented resident of the Casa Blanca were to mistake the Salvation Army for a functional arm of the military (which would be not at all out of character for him) and put it under the supervision of ICE, the scene above would not stand out at all among the already enormous and growing list of pointless constitutional violations.
That CLICK! you may have heard just now was likely the sound of a few more people unsubscribing from my mailing list because I disrespected Dear Leader.
Seriously, folks, if you’re still supporting this grifting, criminal administration, ask yourself which of the only three following reasons you could possibly have at this point applies to you:
You are a bigot and want any and all non-whites persecuted.
You believe fascism is preferable to democracy.
You only expose yourself to right-wing propaganda and have no idea how much you are being lied to.
“CLICK!” There go a few more unsubscribes. Oh well.
I persist with these political mini-rants because it is up to us, the common citizens, to end this. The spineless Republican majority in Congress is not going to lift a finger to stop it, so it’s up to us. We all have a duty to speak out, protest, and boycott. Whatever you can, and whatever it takes.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTENTION TO HIS BLATHER.
But we don’t have to let it ruin every waking moment of our days (a challenge, I know), so let’s have a few chuckles with Wayno’s Bizarro cartoons from the week.
I’m digging the beatnik bunny, but wonder if beatniks would be into hip-hop. Personally, I prefer salsa, especially with chips.
I usually let promotional opportunities slide by unused, but today I’m feeling adventurous, so I’ll tell you that the shirt the guy in the first panel above is wearing could be yours. (Sadly, the outfit Tarzan is wearing is not available in the Bizarro shop.)
