And with the handmaiden to fascism efforts of Pam Bondi, the end of civilization as we know it seems nigh as well.

Enjoy!

Now readers can read Fetch strips and story lines without breaking continuity when a What Now strip is posted; and vice-versa.

The home page is now static, linking to those two current strips and to Wanderlost and In Contempt, my old webcomics that I’ve been archiving.

I’m still trying to integrate the blog function of the site with the home page, and the galleries need some reworking to view properly with the new theme.

Plus I want to update the sketchbook and the portfolio.

What with health issues and a full time job, progress on these tasks will be slow. I’m currently looking for a primary care physician after switching health insurance companies, and my meds have been running out. And my country might be on the brink of civil war, although it’s looking more like not between two parties but between anyone who wants democracy and freedom and the institutions of politics and corporations wanting more fascism and control. So I don’t have a definite timeline. Uh, hope springs eternal?

Since late 2024, when I have not been working on Otherworldly Goods, I have posted cartoons in response to current events. Until today, I had not been posting them to this website, using social media instead to satisfy my instant gratification. There were a few reasons: 1) I was dealing with health issues after getting the flu in February 2025 that had a merry party with Long Covid; 2) I didn’t know what to do with the political cartoons I was posting on social media or how they’d fit on this website; 3) and that’s because I didn’t have a title for the strip.

Well, now I do. I am calling it “What Now.”

No question mark. Just “What Now.” Like how you would sound when you’re trying to get the dishes done and you hear a terrible crashing noise in the other room. (Children? Pets?) Or you are trying to sleep at night but your neighbors are screaming at each other at 2am instead of getting couples therapy. Or when you open your phone in the morning to scroll through the daily headlines of horror.

I drew this before going to bed last night. I actually have this week’s Fetch update ready to go, but I’ve been so distracted by recent events that I forgot to post it. I’ll do so soon.
Anyway, I’m pissed. You’re probably pissed, too. After the initial shock wears off I plan to get more organized and prepare for how to best protect and support my loved ones and communities. Be good to yourselves and each other. Don’t take any bullshit.
People who know my early work might recognize this lizard as Louie from an old minicomic I did in the 90s. He was usually an expression of my angst and he popped upas I was watching the returns.

Happy birthday to Karl Marx on National Cartoonists Day

The unanimous (sort of) decision by the Supreme Court to overturn Colorado’s removal of Trump from the state ballot puts into question the (already dubious) integrity of the state’s rights doctrine and constitutional originalism. If states don’t have enforcement powers to prevent insurrectionists from running for public office, but the federal government can’t secure the voting rights of citizens either (see the gutting of the Voting Rights Act), and if it’s up to the highly partisan Congress to decide, then the 14th amendment is seriously compromised.

This started as a post on Blue Sky, then I thought it would make a good cartoon. This sleep disruption by brain or bladder — or both — happens at least once a week.

FB reminded me of a doodle I tossed off at work 6 years ago under a different presidency. I love how crude yet effective this is.

In honor of all the newspapers across the country finally giving Dilbert the boot in response to its creator’s racist and all around toxic garbage.
