I consciously choose to focus most of my comics on long-term social justice issues, rather than commenting on current news stories. But sometimes it feels impossible not to comment.

We can keep making these cartoons because of lots of supporters pledging low amounts - $1-$3 - and that's just how I like it! Please peruse my peculiar but plucky Patreon!
