Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Feet To The Fire"

From DC's anarchist cartoonist, Mike Flugennock:

"Feet To The Fire"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=3088

This one's going out to all the Leftie media "Blue Checks" who spent the better part of the last four years ripping the mask off the Democratic Party, blowing the Russiagate grift wide open — and then chickening out at the last minute and going with Joe Biden because... harm reduction?

Harm reduction? Really? Even knowing Gropin' Joe's record over the past 40-odd years? F'crissake, the guy practically invented harm.

Shame on you. ALL the goddamn shame on your asses.

That darn Toles

Thank you, Tom [letters on Toles]

Amazing things happen when a community comes together with creativity, energy, and food! Drawn from author/illustrator Jillian Tamaki's volunteer experiences at a small community kitchen in Brooklyn, Our Little Kitchen captures the chaotic but caring work of neighbors taking care of each other with meals and friendship. Tamaki combines the action-filled illustrations of a graphic novel with a rhyming narrative for an explosion of colors, words, tastes, and smells. "Three bags of apples some of them bruised…cut off the brown bits, they're still good to use!". Thumb to the back endpapers to see how these second-hand apples are turned into a dessert to warm the bellies of those you love. Purchase Book Here: https://www.politics-prose.com/book/9...

Jillian Tamaki is a cartoonist and illustrator. She grew up in Canada and attended the Alberta College of Art and Design. The graphic novel she wrote with her cousin Mariko Tamaki, This One Summer, won a Caldecott Honor in 2015. Her graphic novels center on the messy, scary and confusing parts of growing up. She draws comics, editorial and book illustration, teaches, and contributes to the TV show Adventure Time.

The tradition continues, kids. This year, it's coming to you live from Washington, DC. I am a short walk from the the White House. The only thing between me and it are a few blocks, thousands of cops, military, Secret Service agents, attack dogs, and a huge chain link fence.

Tonight, I'll be sitting in my hotel room and posting quick sketches of breaking news as results pour in. Occasionally, I'll venture outside and report what's going on in the streets.

Here are the details for tonight's show:

Location: Washington, DC (somewhere near the White House).

Number of posts and cartoons: I don't know.

Time it will be over: I don't know.

Time Clay will lose his mind: Sometime between midnight and 6:00 a.m.

Should I bother Clay by sending him emails and direct messages while he's working? No. You should not do that but some people will do it anyway.

Can I comment on each post? Yes and please. All comments are welcomed and encouraged. I love hearing from you when I don't have to reply.

Rafer Roberts ends Plastic Farm his long-running minicomic

PLASTIC FARM NEWS???

Rafer Roberts

https://www.patreon.com/posts/plastic-farm-43376495

I started drawing Plastic Farm nearly twenty-two years ago when I was fresh out of college. I wrote nearly 800 pages (and drew about 600 of them myself) over the course of 15 years, reaching the mid-point in the narrative in 2016.

It became apparent about two or three years ago that I was not going to be able to finish Plastic Farm as planned. The story itself had a lot of autobiographical elements, mostly from a time in my life that has become harder and harder to romanticize as I get older, and continuing the story as written has done nothing for my mental health.

Not to mention, there's like a thousand more pages to draw. I am 44-years-old. I top out at about 30 pages a year, tops. I have lost thousands of dollars self-publishing this comic, and have had to declare bankruptcy because of it. The herculean amount of effort required to finish Plastic Farm as conceived, and my near-absolute lack of desire to draw any of it, has led me to this.

A ten-page finale. A big blowout that'll give some closure to long-suffering Plastic Farm readers, while acting as a strange stand-alone tale for general readers. Like every other chapter of Plastic Farm, this one will make as much sense to new readers and old readers alike…which is to say, almost none. But it will be FUN.

BUT, for me to even work on this, folks need to pledge to CORRIDOR. It's only at 50% funded, and there's a huge national distraction on the horizon. So, please, pledge now. (You can even get some new original artwork!)

Thanks to everyone for your support over the years. I know that this probably isn't the news everyone was hoping for, but I promise that I will be the best weird finale that it can be. For the first time in YEARS, I am excited to draw Chester, The Thixotrope, The Reverend, and all the other weirdos again.

Pledge now! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/514327241/corridor-magazine-spring-2021/posts/3005359
