Greetings, Jazz Pickles. Thanks for your visit.
At certain junctures of this illusion of time we call history, it is difficult not to associate otherwise innocent attempts at humor with current events. My Sunday cartoon above is doing that to me now.
When I first drew it, I didn’t have world events in mind, just a simple pun about stuffed animals being stuffed*. But when I look at it now, it reminds me of how certain people and entities cannot get enough. Whether it be food, money, businesses, countries, or forced fealty, they continue to conquer and acquire in what I can only suppose is an attempt to quell their existential angst. It must be hell to live with that kind of fear. It’s certainly hell to live under their reign.
*Stuffed means something very different in British slang, but I’m an American, so I’m taking license. Thanks to the Orange Menace, however, the entire free world is “stuffed” in the British sense.
