My watercolor and ink drawing of Marvel Comics hero, Machine Man, but I have drawn his head as if it were an espresso machine with the portafilter inserted into the roof of his gaping mouth and espresso is flowing from the bottom of it into a red espresso cup.

My pencil drawing of Marvel Comics hero, Ant-Man. It is an extreme close-up showing only his head wearing the Ant-Man helmet.

My colored pencil drawing of DC Comics hero, the Demon. He is depicted from his left profile, looking downward in melancholy against a fiery orange/red background. His right hand has pulled his light blue cape up and is holding it protectively at his left shoulder. Beneath the drawing is this Shakespeare quote: "I all alone beweep my outcast state," from Sonnet 29.

This is some of the best political news I've seen in a very long time.

There's a clear a way to end the Citizens United precedent by changing state incorporation laws - and now luminaries in both parties are forcing a vote on it in the 2026 election.

My drawing of comic book hero, Atlas. He is shown head and shoulders, turned to his left at an angle. His head is turned towards the viewer over his right shoulder. He wears only a red cloth cowl over his head. The edge of an orange-ish helmet is visible across his forehead, down the edge of his left cheek, and crossing along his chin. The cowl descends over the right side of his face, partially hiding that eye and hiding the helmet entirely on that side. His left arm is raised over his head, bent at the elbow and resting behind his head on that side. He is bare-chested.

There is absolutely zero chance that a man who took $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from an FBI agent on camera would have been appointed to any position by any other president.

Our Long National Nightmare by Tom Tomorrow Relive the trauma of the last five years through the cartoons of Herblock Award winner and Pulitzer nominee Tom Tomorrow.

aaand we are now over 2000 backers!

Yes, I'll be making some money off this thing, and that's good, but the whole point of the project was to get the books out into the world.

I'd like to get it to 3K before the thing is over.

My mixed media painting of Marvel Comics, the Hulk, depicted as an assortment of spheres which I've done as homage to the painting, "Galatea of the Spheres" by Salvador Dali, 1952.

My pencil drawing of Bullseye, the cowboy comic book hero from the 1950s. He is shown as if sitting for a professional photographer in the 1800s. Looking directly at the camera and smiling, he is seated on one log stacked upon another. He is holding his cowboy hat rested on his right knee. He has removed his face mask, which he holds dangling in his left hand, rested on that knee.

My first quick warm-up pencil sketch of Marvel Comics villain, Annihilus, very close up on his roaring face. Done this morning before work, it's not as clean as the first photo. There are a lot of sketchy marks, and it's drawn further back to include his spiked shoulder armor.

A color drawing done in the style of a 1960s Soviet Union propaganda poster which depicts a head and shoulders image of Marvel Comics villain, the Red Ghost on the left side in deep yellow-orange with pink accents in his hair and brown shadows on his face. In the foreground are blue silhouettes of his apes. Above Red Ghost is a blue 7-pointed star. To the right of that is a rocket blasting towards the upper right corner in the same color as Ghost. Covering its side, printed in red, it reads "1963 CCCP," followed by a red 5-pointed star. Beneath the rocket tip is the Moon in the same yellow color.
