I recently participated in this Fast Company roundtable interview about political cartooning in a broken media landscape. I have to say, the sample art that they chose from my comic for the feature image is perfectly timed.

#cartoon #comic #politics #media #authoritarianism

As an antidote to today's awfulness, you might consider listening to this Zoom recording of cartoonists reading from relevant books and essays, organized by the great Steve Brodner (I'm around the 1 hour and 31 minute mark).

The Comics Journal just published a thorough overview of the state of political cartooning as we head into the second Trump administration.

Latest comic: How to get in the holiday spirit

Latest comic. A British consumer rights group examined unnecessary data harvesting by “smart” devices, including air fryers connected to phone apps. While these devices may not pose the greatest privacy risk in our everyday lives, they are part of a growing Internet of Things capable of collecting data when and where we least expect it.

I think this election defies easy explanations, including the ones I gravitate to because they align with my own values. In this current media environment, I'm not sure any policy difference would have actually changed the outcome.
