Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "This Machine Kills Fascists"
From DC's anarchist cartoonist, Mike Flugennock -
"This Machine Kills Fascists"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=3058
American protest-song legend Woody Guthrie was known for the sticker on his guitar reading "This Machine Kills Fascists".
However, the murder of unarmed Black Lives Matter protesters in Kenosha, Wisconsin by Kyle Rittenhouse — and the ongoing assaults against unarmed protesters by armed fascist thugs — have led me to conclude that there's only one kind of machine that kills fascists — and it's not a guitar.

New Billy the Pop book, and website, from Cole Goco
Excerpted from his blog:
As I promised in the previous post, I'm here to notify you all about the third and final Billy the Pop book collection! It's called Sweet Adventure, and contains the Billy strips from 2017 to 2020. As with the previous two books, it contains several all-new watercolor illustrations, which I had a lot of fun putting together. I consider this the best Billy book of the three, as to me it represents the peak of the strip's humor and visuals and features some of the strip's best storylines.
Here are a few photos of the book to give you an idea. I'm quite pleased with how it came out.
Sweet Adventure is available on Amazon for US$19. Visit the page here!
Additionally, I've spent a portion of the summer putting together my new website, colegoco.art! This will serve as my new hub for all my artistic pursuits: comics, film, illustration and more. The site already holds plenty of drawings and films that I've never mentioned on this blog before, so head over there if you want to see those. Feel free to check in every now and then to see what I've been working on! You can also follow me on my Instagram, where I'll post a bit more frequently and give updates on what I'm doing.
