Change is Coming

All of these high school students who are really scared and mad and motivated to demand meaningful gun regulation will soon be of voting age. The lost lives haven’t been enough to bring change, but I like to think we are getting closer to the day when the money the NRA pays to politicians won’t be enough to compensate them for the lost votes.

This post isn’t about the Grateful Dead, and it isn’t about Robert Crumb, but there is a cartooning connection. It was a surprise for me when it came up in this “Fresh Air With Terry Gross” podcast.

Revisionist History

One of the features I get with my $15/year GoComics subscription is “Tom the Dancing Bug” by Ruben Bolling. That’s a pseudonym, by the way, so he isn’t the son of Little Archie cartoonist Bob Bolling. His undergraduate degree is in Economics (yeah!) and he attended Harvard Law School. Bolling excels at on-target absurdist interpretations of current events. Click to enlarge, of course.
