Shock Suspenstories #2 (1952). On the cover, an enraged mob is beating a man, with people calling him β€œa dirty red” and telling him to go back to where he came from. One man begs them to stop, telling them what they’re doing is wrong and to act like Americans.

The twist ending is that the women swap their hair and he doesn't notice the difference.

Please don't say that, because there's always a sub-basement for "dumb."

A book manuscript is like a stone in a rock tumbler: polish, polish, polish.

Just finished another pass over ~100,000 words. There's one last section I'd like to review again, then back to the publisher it goes. Here's hoping I hit the 🎯 this time!

Supreme Court blocks Trump's emergency tariffs, billions in refunds may be owed Economists estimated more than $175 billion may need to be refunded.

The surly, sepia-tone negative of a raccoon that we call "president" is about to get a $175 BILLION smackdown.

Tsk, tsk. At least consumer prices will finally drop. Wasn't that one of his campaign promises? Guess he'll be keeping it whether he wants to or not.

Page 24 of issue 4 of Monsters in my Pocket.

Blonde child Theresa tells a miniature Wolfman to heel.
Then Wolfman is told to roll over.
Then Wolfy is told to play dead which is illustrated in a very dramatic fashion.
Finally, Wolfy is told to sit in which he pulls a chair to sit on with a huge smile and tongue wagging.

Drawn by Gil Kane with words by Dwayne McDuffie.

Found this issue online and it's such a fun story. The art and dialogue are easy to follow.

Even though it's meant for a younger audience manages to still be entertaining.

Sadly, the script used for this issue was the basis for Together. That's why she's flying across the room.

A cartoon made in response to an Elon Musk tweet that reads β€œWhoever said β€œmoney can’t buy happiness” really knew what they were talking about πŸ˜”β€

The black and white cartoon shows Musk standing against the wind. There is a distant expression on his face and a single tear being blown from his left eye.
He wraps his arms around himself, trying to keep warm. The world is so cruel to him. Punishing him for the meagre crime of hoarding massive amounts of wealth and showing no empathy for the vulnerable. Also, he uses his platform to boost racism, misogyny, and white supremacy but seriously guys who would hold that against a fella?

Next to him a caption reads β€œBeing a shit person is ruining my life”
