Love the birds. Perfect. And it’s fun reading your description of how the drawing came to be, step-by-step.

There was a short video clip of VP JDV in Greenland, yesterday I think, basically saying that yes, we need to move forward to secure Greenland because that’s what Trump wants. And here I’m reading… Trump wants a third term. Gosh, “wants.” Reminds me of a petulant child, as in that famous (2017?) picture of dignitaries in Europe, and Trump is in a chair to the right in the picture… His petulance was getting to everybody, and the picture was modified as if he were in a highchair with a bowl of spaghetti dumped on his head, and Angela Merkel was scolding him. Along with all the battles we are fighting right now, it’s not too soon to raise this issue to high visibility, so it’s clear to everyone that it’s NOT. Going. To. Happen. I mean, you can’t just break the Constitution of the United States of America! We won’t allow it!

I don’t think Trump just wants a third term. He wants a life term, like Putin.

Love this drawing!!! Ah, an artists' mind, amazing.

We're not kidding around either. I can't write what I think here without swearing (read between the lines LOL)... rumps, pants and sucks! Good God full-on psychos.

I do love the drawing - and having made the mistake of holding a soft pretzel once near a beach I can attest to a seagull's sense of entitlement.

As for Trump I’m reminded of a spoiled child who was whining at her boyfriend that she wanted him to go somewhere, the insouciant response of “What’s it like to ‘want’?” I still think of it, decades later.

Thanks, Liza. I just read on a news outlet about Trumps' claim he could seek additional terms. What a gut punch.

What is the bird brain talking about? Since he claims he won in 2020, he is already serving his third term. Which is already a violation of the amendment. Let him rest on another post along with the other birds.

when I was a kid the seagulls used to swoop down and try to catch the food we bought at the restaurant at the end of the ferry dock on our Puget Sound island. Sometimes it was hot dogs. Someone, I'd like to think it was me, but I can't remember, called this "a tern for the wurst."

Love the cartoon and the description of your process.

Such a dark time we are going through politically...
