Give this misanthropic baby man nothing, ever. Imagine horning in on Machado’s efforts! He’s so obsessed with Obama, it’s pathetic.

Trying to remember any of the names of all those horror and ninja films in the 80’s where the killer would slice and dice victims with those “razor sharp” escalator blades of death?

Great news for aggressive squirrels who may or may not be attacking Marin County residents who’ve been feeding them: though the rodents are born here in the States, they do not yet have the right to vote, so Trump not likely to seek their extermination.

The man appears to be the same officer who was caught last month on NPR audio aggressively arresting a court observer.

“President Biden is right.
Political satire is one of the oldest and most important forms of free speech. It challenges those in power while using humor to draw more people in to the discussion.
That's why people in influential positions have always targeted it for censorship.” - Brendan Carr, 2022

Fascists love AI. With it, you control independent thought and creativity of intellect. It puts me in mind of 1984: there were no more books, art, poetry , cinema, storytelling. The Proles read pornography and listened to songs written by machines. Orwell tried so hard to warn us.

In honor of #batmanday, and the onset of Fall, I’m sharing art from “ Six Fingers”, my 2015 spooky Batman yarn from Legends of the Dark Knight 85-88 ( digital series). DC has seen fit to never collect in a print edition but I’m always hopeful : ) it was a story percolating in my brain for a decade.

Kind of a big day for this funnybook maker - I’m probably nervous enough to not want to run into comic shops today and see the reactions - so I’ll stay home, work in the studio and see what comes back - but very excited to see the book out !

Welles is the only human capable of making it and he already did , worked out a great film, despite interference.
