Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: 'A Frightening Situation'


DC's anarchist cartoonist Mike Flugennock's latest -

"A Frightening Situation"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=3412

Inspired by the rip-roaring coverage of atrocities, war crimes, and 
miscellaneous ruthlessness by America's Official Enemy against the 
Ukraine in the very same corporate-owned Western media who worked 
itself to death to cover up atrocities, war crimes, and miscellaneous 
ruthlessness by the Earth's enemy against Iraq and Afghanistan — not 
to mention pushing the most insane-ass kind of comic-book lies about 
(ahem) Weapons Of Mass Destruction — about 18, 20 years or so ago. 
But, now...? Cripes, man, the Boss Media in the US and its 
"international community" are all about war crimes and atrocities and 
bombed civilians and the Hague n'shit. Wotta goddamn joke.

I shit you not, kiddies — if this were a foto of a similar scene in 
Gaza, of Palestinian women getting ready to resist the terrorism of 
the IDF and Israeli colonists, do you honestly think Reuters — and 
MSNBC, CNN, the NY Times, the Washington Post, the Atlantic, all the 
usual suspects — would run some noble, heart-wrenching piece on 
ordinary women rushing to the defense of their country against invaders?

Naaaaahhhhhhhhhh. It'd be some horseshit about defenseless, peaceful 
little Israelis just minding their own while the mean, evil terrorist 
Palestinians try to resist the defenseless, peaceful little Israelis' 
attempts to drive them out of their homes and murder them.

The likes of Reuters didn't give a shit about civilians during the US 
invasion of Iraq, and they don't really give a shit now. They didn't 
give a shit about war crimes during the US occupation of Iraq and 
Afghanistan, and they don't really give a shit now.

Singer Aimee Mann is a cartoonist, explains the Post's Cavna

Turns out Aimee Mann is really good at painting, too

The famed singer-songwriter thought a nervous system disorder might end her music career. She coped by creating revelatory comics — and portraits of first ladies.

May 19: Eric Orner: Smahtguy

Eric Orner: Smahtguy

  • Solid State Books 600 H Street Northeast Washington, DC, 20002 United States (map)

Join us in store to welcome Eric Orner discussing his new book Smahtguy: The Life and Times of Barney Frank! This is an in-store, in-person event and is free and open for all to attend! Please RSVP here


Eric Orner, the acclaimed cartoonist of one of the country's most popular and longest-running gay comic strips, The Mostly Unfabulous Social Life of Ethan Green, presents his debut graphic novel—a dazzling, irreverent biography of the iconic and iconoclastic Barney Frank, one of the first gay and out congressmen and a front-line defender of civil rights.
What are the odds that a disheveled, zaftig, closeted kid with the thickest of Jersey accents might wind up running Boston on behalf of a storied Irish Catholic political machine, drafting the nation's first gay rights laws, reforming Wall Street after the Great Recession, and finding love, after a lifetime assuming that he couldn't and wouldn't?


In Smahtguy: The Life and Times of Barney Frank, America's first out member of Congress and gay and civil rights crusader for an era is confirmed as a hero of our age. But more than a biography of an indispensable LGBTQ pioneer, this funny, beautifully rendered, warts-and-all graphic account reveals the down-and-dirty inner workings of Boston and DC politics.

As Frank's longtime staff counsel and press secretary, Eric Orner lends his first-hand perspective to this extraordinary work of history, paying tribute to the mighty striving of committed liberals to defend ordinary Americans from an assault on their shared society.
