Drawing That Which Angers Me
I, too, hate drawing what this man above has drawn. Like him, it depresses me and also really angers me. But my feeling is I have to draw this, if only to try to make it go away. The media has to walk a fine line between giving him attention that is not just for ratings, but rather for making clear he is a threat to our democracy.
But here is a drawing for you that’s just silly. I don’t want end this beautiful Saturday on such a sour note.
It definitely is spring here where I am, and it’s gorgeous. Green of every shade in the book, EVERYWHERE. No squirrels in shades and shorts, but I’m keeping a look out.
Thanks, all! Happy weekend.
Liza, Thank you.

Today’s Substack really speaks to me:
