Liza, your drawings during the recent days were a breath of reality and now we are past those days. But I want to share this. On one of my trips to Alaska, I saw a panel truck outside a fish market. On the side of the truck was this clever slogan, “Seven days without fish makes one weak.” To paraphrase that slogan today, I would say, “Seven days without Kamala makes one weep.”
I can only answer Yes And No at this point. Trump has threatened trials of Democrats next, and many of his appointees could provoke trials, so any book about trials may be a sore point if we’re subjected to more.
I would love a book of your drawings and I would be happy to pre-pay if you end up self-publishing. Your drawings were very helpful in tracking the proceedings.
As an art book, I'd prefer a Smyth-sewn hardcover with high-quality paper rather than a print-on-demand paperback, but that's just me. I'll buy one copy, or more, any way you can get it to market.
Also, you should consider a premium-priced version that would include an original piece of your work. Your fans would also be excited if you could get someone like Heather Cox Richardson or Robert Reich to write a foreword. Good luck with this undertaking!
I think a book of your drawings of the t_p trials is a good idea and would be welcome by many. It would help counteract what will likely be a torrent of outrageous and heinous things the t_p administration will do, and which the media will dutifully cover, overwhelming the public consciousness, such as it is. Your book would be another, much-needed voice
Well it seems a lot of nuts from Florida will be coming to Washington. Good riddance. As someone once said, "If you take a map of the US and shake it, everything loose will end up in Florida." Gaetz, Rubio, and the remnants of Rick Scott, will be full time in DC . Please, for god's sake, take DeSantis and handmaiden Casey, too.
And it's interesting that already he's backpedaling on a number of the "promises made, promises kept" agenda. "...well I might not be able to pardon EVERYONE from Jan 6."
I'm okay if you do a Trump trial book but I've had enough of him. I saw the drawings you did for his trials and they were well done. Interesting to see behind the scenes and goings on outside. You captured the moments! Good, ugly and bad moments. I think it's good for your legacy. I'd like future generations to see it. I've already lived those days through your drawings. Thank you!
(1) what can citizens do going forrward to minimize the damage that his decisions may have?
(2) as much as we'd like Trump not to look like he's more effective than he is capable of (or to take credit for successes that he had nothing to do with), how do we make sure the public will see that his failed policies will fail without actually going so far as to have them fail? There's an element of schaden freude that Trump is famous for, and we should take the high road.
For example, he has had nothing to do with this expanding economy (which Biden resuscitated after Trump handed him a collapsed economy the last time around). If Trump doesn't screw it up, he will gloat over the expansion, which will give him more momentum among his constituents. I don't want to give him bragging rights to build an even bigger mandate, but I also don't the economy screwed up (60-200% tariffs + rounding up immigrant workforce = rocketing inflation and inhumanity). An ideal outcome would be if he imposed tariffs just long enough to mess up the economy for a few weeks to expose how bad his economic policy is, and then force him to retract those policies. Of course, he will never admit a mistake.
Interesting times. Interesting book idea. Hope it makes the underground best seller list. My suggestions: a plain brown cover for clandestine reasons, indie bookstore only distribution, and a percentage of sale price goes to a legal defense fund.
Your book would be a first-person historic account. A witness. When the "deniers" come up for air, your book would prove it really happened. So many favs: T hiding behind LIAR, T in shorts, Lady of Liberty pinging him off like a mosquito, the bleeding flag sticking out of a gun barrel. I'll buy one.
Pete Hegseth commanded a rifle platoon in combat. Maybe, just maybe, what the Pentagon needs right now, with the armed forces of the United States in such shaky condition, is a young guy from the tip of the spear instead of one more military bureaucrat. For sure, the incumbent SecDef has been less than impressive.
The young men and women who wear the uniform of the United States deserve senior leadership that’s of them and with them. Right now, that’s in short supply.

Yes, there should be a written record for the public and posterity to recall this upside down time in U.S. history.
More the merrier.

Elon Musk is a trouble seeker. Wants to participate in the downfall of our democracy. Feather in his South African apartheid hat.

Love this drawing. I truly relate. I see myself in for a long period of red whining.
I just don’t see any positive in the news these days.
Regarding a possible book....DEFINITELY!
The world is always entitled to the truth, especially in these dark times of sane-washing, dream-casting, false-normalization and gaslighting.

I think that we need your ideas, reporting and concepts on paper and out in the world… the www is too amorphous . We need substance now.
