ICE Phishing: Scammers Are Sending 'Support ICE' Emails to Steal Credentials "As part of our commitment to supporting ICE, we will be adding a ‘Support ICE’ donation button to the footer of every email sent through our platform."

A comic from 2017, which I promise seemed more original at the time, though I might have once imagined it wouldn't be as relevant for quite this long. One of among maybe three or four wordless one panel comics I made in 18 years of political cartooning.

Heads up to people in the Buffalo area: I spotted a border patrol vehicle cruising around in Tonawanda on my drive home just now. Saw them right around where Colvin and Eggert run into the Twin Cities highway.

The Adventures of Superman episode "A Shot in the Dark," 1962. Walking closely, perhaps arm-in-arm, Lois Lane and Clark Kent pass a store boldly labelled "DICK'S MEAT MARKET." Transfixed or embarrassed by the sign, they don't or can't look at each other.
