I wish I'd screenshot or bookmarked the tweet I spotted on Facebook 
featuring a grinning Kay-Kay and Netanyahu shaking hands, with a 
headline announcing the latest amount of my tax money being shipped 
off to fund a genocide in Palestine. Not that it matters that much 
these days, as it's always such an insanely stonking amount of cash 
that remembering the actual goddamn number doesn't seem that important 
anymore.

Luckily, though, I did save this headline from the Washington Post a 
couple of days ago, about how the Small Business Administration's 
disaster relief fund is already tapped out. Tough luck, MAGA Boy, the 
money to rebuild your surf shop just went to bomb a bunch of people 
living in tents.

What goes around, America...

Jonathan Roth at Scrawl Books, in pictures

Jonathan Roth has 2 new books out, both dealing with space. Rover and Speck #3: It's a Gas! is about exploring a gas giant and finding life. His picture book, Almost Underwear: How a Piece of Cloth Traveled from Kitty Hawk to the Moon and Mars is shown in a number of these photos, and is really very interesting even to an adult. 

The pictures that follow are of this event and are pretty self-explanatory.

Create Your Own Graphic Novel with Jonathan Roth

Join us at Scrawl Books on October 12 at 2PM as we welcome Jonathan Roth! Jonathan will be teaching a Create Your Own Graphic Novel workshop for kids in honor of the release of Rover and Speck: It’s a Gas! This is the third installment in Jonathan Roth’s popular graphic novel series about an endearingly mismatched pair of space-traveling rover friends: organized and careful Rover, and impulsive, excitable Speck.

 When Jonathan was talking about designing a graphic novel to the children, he asked me what was the most number of panels ever used on a page. This blog post is the start of that research.
