Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Potemkin Revolution"

"Potemkin Revolution"
https://sinkers.org/stage/?p=4202

We've just barely had time to hose down our street from that rank-assed
"No Kings" shitfest before we get the news that these assholes are
rolling into town on the 22nd of November — a quite apropos date for
this shindig as I've often found myself wishing for a cheap Italian
rifle and a school book depository lately.

This is from the same blast of inspiration which coughed up the "No
Kings" flyer parody, and my disgust/amusement at the continuous parade
of half-assed Democratic astroturf "Potemkin Revolutions" through my
city, such as the latest partisan bitchfest headed our way next week.

Caitlin Johnstone published an excellent Substack piece recently about
the flood of fake movements – mostly Democratic Party front groups –
hitting us one after the other this year. It's not just the shallow
fakery that's got me pondering, but how this strikes me as some kind of
"domestic 'color revolution'" blitz by the Democrats. Like US-backed
"color revolutions" in Hong Kong or Ukraine, the DNC's domestic version
functions much the same way — divert and waste attention, time and
energy and promote US capitalist interests.

It's not enough for the DNC to suppress our voices in their media and
their phony "democracy"; they have to add insult to injury by flooding
the public protest space with these inane fake "movements" which cause
no trouble, make no demands and constitute no threat to the State or to
Capital – and so are ultimately useless.

-----

"U.S. Politics Is Just Nonstop Fake Revolutions Now", Caitlin Johnstone

OCTOBER GIRL Matthew Dow Smith Studio Spotlight @ Librarycon Live 2025


Join OCTOBER GIRL creator Matthew Dow Smith as he gives you a behind the scenes tour of his studio space and walks you through his creative process! A moody, coming-of-age tale for fans of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children and Nimona, filled with fairies and ogres and magic galore. Autumn Ackerman grew up believing in fairies and magic and princesses who defeated dragons, but now that she's eighteen and facing a future stuck behind the counter of her small town's coffee shop, she's starting to wonder if this is all there really is to her life. But then she meets her childhood imaginary friend, Barnaby, in the alley behind the coffee shop one night. Autumn's entire world is turned upside down. Drawn into the strange and mysterious world of the Night Folk, fantastic creatures that inspired all of humanity's myths about gods and monsters, Autumn is about to discover that there is more to her world than she ever dreamed of as a little girl, and that world is far more dangerous than she could ever have imagined. With the help of Barnaby and Evan Fade, the tragic young boy who inherited the local bookstore, Autumn has to protect herself from the coldly terrifying Mr. Balloon long enough to discover the truth about the Night Folk and her own past.

Mad editor John Ficarra on a quiet WWII fighter he worked with

My colleague at Mad magazine was a war hero. Who knew?

He never mentioned the dogfights or the crash landings. He just made sure the magazine came out.

Rob Ullman dropped from City Paper... 18 years ago

I just got this clipping back from my Dad's estate. Dale Rawlings and I had both written letters to the editor about Rob. You can still usually find Rob at SPX but he's probably sold out of the WCP art by now...
 
UPDATED: I sent this to Rob, who responded, "Still my favorite freelance gig ever. Fun fact: I got the call from Andrew Beaujon (who is awesome and whose hands were tied) that the job was coming to an end on my 35th birthday! Hard to believe it’s been 18 years. 
 
I couldn’t make it to SPX this year… hoping I’ll have something new to sell in 2026. (2026!!!)  
 
I really do miss having such a connection with DC and the City Paper readers!"
