Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Heard Ya' Missed Me, So I'm Back"

From DC's anarchist cartoonist ...


"Heard Ya' Missed Me, So I'm Back"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=3694

Yep, I heard Americans were kinda missing being in quarantine and out 
of work with no safety net; friends, family and neighbors getting sick 
and dying, science denialists going apeshit, government and media 
blaming China for everything, so here I am — back again, Amerika, 
right when you're trying to stir up a world war and 
inflation'n'austerity are crushing the shit out of you, and your 
influence is cratering and you've just been made a global fool of and 
you're cruising for comeuppance, yeah — heard ya' missed me, so I'm 
back to fuck your shit up, Amerika.
