Sometimes I just do silly cartoons. The prevelence of e-bikes is what made me think of this.
Here’s another silly one, the caption came from thinking about my husband’s phone drama, and how he tries to stay in touch but charges his phone at odd times (when most of us charge them when we sleep). So you could just put “Dad” in place of “Mom” here…but the joke would maybe not be as funny. There’s something about moms. Those planes that pull signs seem so funny to me, too, even when they aren’t carrying a cartoon caption. They seem so old fashioned, it’s great. How many of you are going to the beach soon for Labor Day Weekend?
I feel like we’re all just waiting. Waiting for summer to be over with, and waiting for something to happen to Trump. Waiting for some rather large shoe to drop.
Remember when we thought that talking about “grabbing pussy” would be the thing that would bring him down, before he got elected? Sorry to do this, but I post my drawing about that, below. We thought those words would be enough to end his campaign. He apologized, then denied it, and thus began our journey into unreality and untruths and horrible behavior and lying and cheating . A nightmare of endless news cycles and sensational cable coverage of a psychopath. I cannot believe some of my fellow Americans, and far too many of the GOP who are still backing him. Who the heck are we?
Apologies for getting upset again, I am embarrassed for our country right now. I do worry about the ramifications if Trump is indicted. The violence.
But it has to be done, we have to live through some temporary kind of hell to keep our democracy.
Thank you Liza for the brave cartoon! We are watching closely from up here in Canada. We seem to have our own problems here, as the right wing extremists are taking notes on what’s happening down your way.
Our very capable Deputy Prime Minister/ Finance Minister was harassed on her way to an elevator by an extremist couple.
Usually in Canada this is unacceptable but unfortunately seems to becoming more frequent.
Keep on Doodling!
Kind regards,
Thommy
First, I very much appreciate your speaking out, and drawing it out--no apologies necessary! Please keep it up. I myself am less worried about T being indicted and the (inevitable, it seems) violence than I am about his getting away with it all. I am firmly convinced that Merrick Garland will indict. Why do the columnists and pundits always assume that T will be ABLE to run again? Hard to keep pushing that boulder up the mountain, but we must. And cheers to you and your wonderful drawings.
