A short cartoon ode to a memory.
45 YEARS AGO... Panel 1: Kevin as a child wakes up. Narrator: I'M 11 YEARS OLD, STAYING AT GRANDMA MS TO RECOVER FROM SURGERY ON MY LEG. Young me, stretching: YAWWN. Panel 2: An old woman pours coffee at a kitchen table while Kevin enters. Narrator: ON MONDAY, 12/8/1980, I HOBBLE ON MY CRUTCHES INTO THE KITCHEN WHERE MRS. M. TELLS ME THE NEWS. Grandma: I JUST HEARD ON THE RADIO JOHN LENNON WAS SHOT. Panel 3: A giant TV shows a crowd singing. Narrator: I HAD NO HOMEWORK, SO I SPENT THE DAY WATCHING GAME SHOWS AND NEWS REPORTS ON HIS DEATH. News announcer: A HUGE CROWD OUTSIDE THE DAKOTA SINGS "GIVE PEACE A CHANCE" AND OTHER SONGS. Box arrow pointing to TV: WHEN TVs WERE FURNITURE! Panel 4: Young Kevin draws at a table. Narrator: LATER THAT NIGHT I DREW A PICTURE OF LENNON SITTING ON A HILL LOOKING AT A SUNRISE OVER APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS. I GUESS I THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD SPOT FOR A SOUL TO REST.

Facebook reminds me I posted this excerpt a Fetch comic strip I was working on of Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan on this day, 2017. They were scheming to cut taxes for the rich. So ... a Tuesday.

What Now: False Idols
What Now by Kevin Moore www.whatnow.mooretoons.com A four panel comic strip. Panel One: A family of three - dad, sister, brother - kneel to pray. Father: Oh Lord Jesus, please protect President Trump from the lies that his enemies are spreading. Off panel voice: What?! No!! Panel 2: A kinky haired, brown skinned Jesus appears before the family, aglow and kinda pissed off. Jesus: He committed horrible crimes against girls! My heart is with them! Father: Wh-who are you?! Panel 3: Jesus gestures to himself, while the Father counts on his fingers, and the children look confused. Jesus: Uh... Jesus? You prayed to me ...? Father: Uh, no! NUH-UNH! Jesus has long hair, a long beard, and he's ... y'know ... Panel 4: Jesus puts his hands on his hips and scowls. The father looks embarrassed. The daughter looks terrified. Jesus: "White"? Just say it. You want a White Jesus. Father: Oh! Hey! No-o-o-o! Daughter: Don't lie to Jesus, Daddy.

Disillusioned words like bullets bark
As human gods aim for their mark
Make everything from toy guns that spark
To flesh-colored Christs that glow in the dark
It’s easy to see without looking too far
That not much is really sacred

If she weren’t hellbent on destroying my trans family and friends and the rights of women, I might take her seriously on class issues.
Because they know how much credit card debt they have, they know how much their own bills have gone up over the past 5 years, they actually do their own grocery shopping and know food cost too much, their rent has increasingly gone up, they have been outbid by corporate asset managers too many times when they put in an offer to buy a house, they have been laid off after being forced to train their visa holding replacement, the college degree they were told to earn only left them in debt with no big six figure salary, they see more homeless people than ever on their own community streets, they can't afford health insurance or practically any insurance, and they just aren't stupid.

It's a cliché, but it's nevertheless true: It's all about the oil.

Is it, though? Remarkable? Most people who aren’t sucked into the Washington press core mindset might think the party in charge bears some responsibility for compromise to get legislation passed.
It’s been pretty remarkable how much Americans have continued to blame Republicans more than Democrats for the shutdown, despite it being Democrats who are seeking the concession (i.e. an extension of the enhanced Obamacare subsidies). A Washington Post-ABC News poll released Thursday showed 45% of Americans mainly blamed Trump and the GOP, versus 33% who held Democrats responsible.

Vanessa Redgrave did not screw around. Great vid by Be Kind, Rewind.
youtu.be/uqcCBmp5BsU?...
Vanessa Redgrave on her problems getting a documentary on the Palestinian crisis in Lebanon shown in the US: "I also showed the film to various Public Broadcasting Service producers, who said they would lose their oil sponsors if they screened it. I took the film to CBS, who said it was their policy never to buy a film by an independent producer whom they had no commissioned. I pressed on higher ups and was told that the film was 'not objective.' This was at a time when not one American or European network had shown a film about the Palestinians.."

Title: What Now, by Kevin Moore. www.mooretoons.com Four panel cartoon. Panel 1: Trump whines at Marco Rubio, who looks ecstatic. Trump: Huh? No Peace Prize for me? Maybe time to bomb Sweden! Rubio: Norway, sir. But don't bother -- we won! Panel 2: Rubio continues to look happy, while Trum gets confused. Rubio: I recommended Maria Machado myself -- she is totally in line with our policy objectives. Trump: Whuh? Panel 3: Rubio tries to explain as Trump clutches his head in pain. Rubio: She thanked you for "working for peace" -- and approved of your war crimes against boats for Venezuelans, despite no proof they're narco-traffickers. Trump: I don't get it. Panel 4: Rubio looks exasperated, while Trump cries like an infant. Rubio: She'll make a great puppet for a coup! Trump: I don't want puppets! Gimme prizes!
