Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Stop Overreacting!"

Latest'n'Greatest:

"Stop Overreacting!"
https://sinkers.org/stage/?p=4086

So — exactly how comically bad ARE Liberals, Centrists and other mutant
beasts in the Democratic Party Zoo going to get about this shit?
Schumer, Pelosi, AOC, "and the rest" are basically selling us out and
handing us over to the Fascists, like "m'eh, waddya gonna do…?" right
out in front of Jah and everybody, and the Liberal/Centrist crowd tells
us to stop "overreacting".

Well, hell — they aren't the ones who are being criminalized and
terrorized for merely existing, so of course.

Assholes

March 9: SOMNA BOOKCLUB and DRAW & TEA: UKRAINE THROUGH COMICS WORKSHOP at Fantom Comics

SOMNA BOOKCLUB W/ CREATIVE TEAM JOINING VIRTUALLY
>> SUNDAY, March 9th @ 3pm
Fantom hosts an in-person book club for one of our biggest comics of last year, the Eisner-winning erotic period piece thriller SOMNAby cartoonists Becky Cloonan (By Chance or Providence, True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys, Batgirls) & Tula Lotay (Barnstormers, All-Star Batman, Supreme Blue Rose). Both creators will be joining us virtually, so come to the book club to ask any burning questions! DSTLRY also sent us some goodies for the book club, so first come first serve for the cool promo items we got.

Set amidst the terrifying backdrop of the witch hunts in a quiet 1600s English village, SOMNA follows one woman's descent into an erotic escape from the confines of her puritanical world. From the masterful minds of Becky Cloonan and Tula Lotay comes an intoxicating blend of history, eroticism, and the supernatural in SOMNA-an evocative masterpiece that draws inspiration from cinematic folk-horror gems like Midsommar and The Witch-and will transport readers to a world where passion and spirits intertwine, enrapturing your senses and leave you craving more.

Chatfield on Telnaes

I'm still reeling from the documentary I saw last night at the IFC, featuring former Washington Post cartoonist and now Substacker, Ann Telnaes. The documentary is called Democracy Under Siege and was completed before the election last November. Its prescience is chilling. The film feels like someone standing on the beach as the tide is going out, yelling to everyone, "Get to higher ground! A Tsunami is coming!" while they remain nonchalantly reclined in their beach chairs, sipping piña coladas, muttering, 'Relax, you're over-reacting!'
