"This comic was inspired by recent discussion about Democratic primary candidates for the midterms as well as friendly gestures that incumbent Dems have made towards terrible authoritarians. The most recent example is House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries reaching out to Jared Kushner to see how the two might “collaborate” on healthcare."

"As usual, I will add my disclaimer that I’m not talking about ordinary pickups that are used for actual work. I’m talking about the gratuitously large, posh consumer models that suburbanites and cowboy cosplayers use to haul air 99% of the time.I rarely link to the NYT these days because I believe they’ve failed to hold the line against authoritarian ideologies. Nonetheless, they recently had a good investigative piece on the increase in pedestrian deaths due to blind spots and grille height. You can watch a short video summary of the article here.The full article, which I now can no longer view, had a terrifying diagram of all the massive blind spots, which result from both vehicle front height and the thick beams called “A-pillars” used to support the roof of the cab.Vehicle fronts are now so tall they hit pedestrians in the chest, knocking them down to the ground and gruesomely running over them instead of having the pedestrian fall onto the hood (ah, the good old days)."

"I recently encountered the “you’re just jealous” retort for the thousandth time — not directed at me, but at someone else who had argued against extreme economic inequality.  This really seems to be what many people believe, and not just members of the upper crust. Those opposed to concentration of immense wealth in the hands of a few who are using that wealth to end democracy itself are merely envious. As the cartoon character who is basically me is saying, I have absolutely no desire to live the oligarch lifestyle, which seems to involve an exhausting level of consumption and hideous aesthetics."

"This is a sequel to my earlier cartoon about e-commerce sites becoming bloated and junky and full of fake reviews. Online retail has become a disorienting hall of mirrors, a world of quantum shopping in which no product exists as a fixed entity in a single place or price point."
