Day 285: Only tangentially-related to the Halloween month (because costume) but I had to pay my respects to all the real ones in my beloved Portland

*Note: This is NOT one of those "tHiS iS thE RiGht WaY to PrOtEsT!1!!" posts -- I literally just fucking hate ICE and love this air-humping frog a lot

Single panel comic drawn in India ink with a sable brush, also with some inkwash shading.
The panel is veritcally-shaped with a ribbon banner on the top and bottom that splits the caption, "Some heroes know how to meet fascists with the absurdity they deserve" and in the panel we see the blow-up frog costume-clad protester from Portland air-humping while standing in front of a group of heavily-armed, gas mask-wearing ICE agents (bitches) with little "swish" FX captions.
Beneath the comic is my signature (Kat Baumann), today's date (10-12-2025) and the time I spent drawing this (50 minutes)

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

Admiring the bumblebee to keep from screaming into the void! 🐝

#bumblebee

Pretty yellow flower with a fuzzy lovely native bumblebee. It's nice. Focus on the nice and peace. Ignore the Eldritch whisper of cortisol and high blood pressure taking years off your lifespan. Fuzzy bumblebee.

Sippy! On red clover- invasive plant, but is edible when fresh or dried. Chemical changes when wilty make it dangerously anticoagulant. That goes for a bunch of clover species.
