For the record. You can find the pictures all over online, although they're a bit hard to find on the Post's actual website, and I can't put a link to the search here due to the way it's designed.

MacAuley cartooning for Cosmopolitan.com
Arlington-based cartoonist Christiann MacAuley was recently
hired to create weekly humor comics for Cosmopolitan.com. MacAuley told ComicsDC the comics will “touch on topics relevant to the lives of fun-loving
women such as dating, partying, pop culture, health fads, and uncomfortable
footwear.” And to be clear, she has “no plans to ink the words ‘How To Please
Your Man’ in any case other than strict irony." Cosmopolitan began running
MacAuley's previously-published comics in late September and will begin
publishing new, original content in the coming weeks.

Nov 20, 2013, 7 p.m.
Nov 20, 2013, 8 p.m.
Sacco's extraordinary graphic work captures the first days of the infamous Battle of the Somme in a twenty-four page foldout. This panorama depicts scenes of General Haig and the trenches, but most vividly conveys the mass horror of thousands of troops marching out—and thousands being cut down.
Beer and wine will be available.
