I've been thinking about Matt Furie a lot during this period of political frog realignment, so I made this comic dedicated to him.
Color comic with multiple panels. Pepe the Frog, a lanky frog with a stoner expression on his face - but somewhat sad - walks away from a burning pile of 4chan logos and "Kek"s. He sees some commotion and perks up. In the next panel, he's shocked at the sight of dancing frogs, a la the Portland Frog inflatable costume protesters. One frog notices him, and reaches for his hand. The final panel shows the frog leading Pepe by the hand to the other dancing protesting frogs. The frog says "Frogs together strong," and Pepe says "feels good, man."

At the food pantry I volunteer at we were absolutely swamped today and by many first timers. We ran out of whole categories of food. Please donate cash to your local organization if you at all can.

A writer at The Atlantic is incensed that students are chronically absent, citing declining academic achievement.

... I doubt COVID is 100% the cause, but repeatedly infecting kids with a disease that makes you more susceptible to other illnesses & causes brain damage certainly doesn't help.

SNAP is not the reason your taxes are high.

SNAP recipients don’t need to “just go get a job”.

Most of them work. The rest are disabled, elderly, children or caregivers.

People need & deserve assistance

Your taxes fund wars and tax cuts for the ultra rich

Be mad about that

A respirator mask is our best defense against contracting SARS-COV-2.

Believe me, I am REALLY tired of both masks & covid, but years ago, I acknowledged & adapted to the new reality of co-existing with an airborne virus. I wish things were different, but they aren't. But I keep trying my best.

While I have you here ~40 million Americans will lose their food benefits next week because of Trump and the GOP’s gov’t shutdown.

Look up your local food bank below and set up a donation. Call and yell at your reps too

If you have any tips for people who either can’t access food banks and/or can’t access the type of food they need at food banks… drop them in the comments below.

SNAP is a lifeline for so many and I’m sure a lot of people are scared and afraid to ask for help.

People with disabilities that require special diets will struggle to feed themselves at food banks.

Those with illnesses that make standing in long lines difficult will struggle to access food banks.

Parents of kids with AFRID, autism or other food issues will struggle.

What can we do to help?

Doctors and nurses callously refusing to wear respirator masks during the ongoing pandemic of Covid-19 is a deep scandal, constituting a grievous breakdown of primary ethics in the medical realm, resulting in the essential safety of patients being recklessly violated.

A borderless 4-panel informative comic on drawing fat people. Fat can be distributed in a lot of different ways! Play in the space! (7 small drawings of fat people with different shapes, sizes, and silhouettes) While this may exist IRL... (a depiction of a conventionally attractive person with an exaggerated hourglass figure) ... This is more common! (a depiction of a fat person with a more barrel- or pear-shaped body) Tummy fat is the easiest to gain, the hardest to lose, and the one people draw the least! Common areas of fat distribution: Upper arms, chin, breasts, tummy!!, butt, thighs (drawing of a person with a fat belly t-posing for body part labeling) This is fat (profile view of a torso with a fat belly, an arrow pointing down marked "sag") This is bloating/pregnancy (same silhouette but with a protruding smooth and round abdominal area). Also: TALL FAT PEOPLE EXIST!! (three drawings of people: a short fat person, a tall thin person, and a taller fat person)

Y’all, Spotify’s stock price sunk by 5% in 1 day. YOU did this by spreading the word to boycott them for running ICE ads.

These billionaires only speak one language—money—so let’s keep up the pressure. Tell everyone you know to cancel their Spotify subscriptions. Send them to BoycottSpotify.com.
Spotify stock graph showing a decrease of $28 in one day (Friday 10/24), the day after Spotify’s boycott became a trending topic on Bluesky. This is a roughly 5% decrease in value.

A reminder that losing SNAP will be particularly devastating to those whose disabilities require them to have special diets.

The disability tax is real.

Everything costs more when you’re sick, and special diets are no exception.

Boost & donate to mutual aid. People need help.

"Tzefardea Tzedek" (Frog of Righteousness)

As soon as the Portland Frog became a meme, Jewish social media blew up with jokes about the 2nd Passover plague - tzefarde'a (frogs) - and the Rabbinical commentary around it. I knew I had to make a calligraphy piece encompassing all of it. (more in alt.)
Hebrew calligraphy in dark green stretches in lines across the image. Negative space makes room for a simple representation of an inflatable frog costume with a blue bandana. That shape consists of the English translation of the Hebrew, in a lighter green, and in much smaller text. -- Famously, the Egyptian tyrant causes Egypt to be overrun with frogs because he refuses to free the Hebrew people, but there are additional details that make this a fun one to ponder. For one, the Hebrew says "the frog came up" - ONE frog - even though the rest of the time it says "frogs." So there are a few explanations rabbis have come up with to explain this. One is that a single frog multiplied to create swarms. A more creative explanation is that there was a singular giant frog who traveled and brought destruction. Jewish social media was sharing videos of the Portland Frog protester with the caption, "One Big Frog! One Big Frog!" Of course the frog protesters did multiply, and many were seen in crowds all over the world on "No Kings" Day. This calligraphic work takes the verses addressing the frog plague and combines them to form a simple rendering of the Portland Frog protester. The frog figure itself is made up of the English translations of the Hebrew around it. At the bottom left my signature is in the shape of a lily pad.

USA is a shitshow hellscape and as lovely as it is to fantasize about escape, fact is: I'm stuck here.
My more realistic daydream is "Please just stay the same level of bad" but we can't have that either!
I'm no one special, screaming alongside thousands for help to survive.

There will be a lot of posts like this in the coming weeks -- our household is one of the millions being affected by SNAP losing funding. We already barely scrape by as is & we are very scared for this grim future ahead of us. Thanks to those who sent help already 💜

Art commissions are also welcome as a means of helping this situation, but I've been hesitant to push them because there is about a 2-3 month wait for new projects at the moment. I'll be trying even harder to work through the queue to make room for more projects though.

It's really pointless to argue about at this point. You can't get money that doesn't exist, and I already see people adapting to spend even less money on games than they currently do, so go ahead, fuck around and find out

very funny to continue banging the 'games should cost more' drum as 80%< of games that launched at 70 have bombed or underperformed. It even got MonHun. We can go to 80 though it'll be fine

When you outsource your creativity to a prediction engine, you’ll only receive the average of your prompt, automatically negating anything new or interesting.

This makes AI the antithesis of creativity.

With millions at risk of losing SNAP in the coming days, a reminder: hunger doesn't happen in isolation. When food assistance disappears, families use rent money to eat. Then come evictions and homelessness.

Housing, food, healthcare—it's all connected. Cut one thread and the whole thing unravels.
