Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "MABA (Make America Brunch Again)"

From Mike Flugennock, DC's anarchist cartoonist -

"MABA (Make America Brunch Again)"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=3092

It's this kind of clueless queefage from rich-ass Hollywood knobs like Mark Hamill which perfectly illustrates the attitude of the French aristocracy and bourgeoisie just before the head-chopping started — at last, the Democrats are back in the White House; now we can stop pretending to care about the poor and the working class and go back to brunch again.

Finally, everything's back to "normal" — America is brutalizing the rest of the world, the police are terrorizing Black America, and the Liberals are beating down the Left. Time to celebrate!

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.
