I consider myself fortunate to have been following David Petersonβs work since the first #MouseGuard, but that doesnβt make me any less in awe when I see his new projects.

If you'd have told me in 2015 that ROLLING STONE would have the most brutally honest news coverage of the 2025 inauguration, I never would've believed you. But here we are.

Jules Feiffer was a scholar, a writer and a cartoonist. You can't get a better start than as assistant to Will Eisner and Feiffer became a force in satire and sequential art. For me, his book "The Great Comic Book Heroes" remains a holy text.
RIP.

A multi-panel cartoon illustrated by a crowd of heads which look worried, then angry, then resigned, and end up all looking like Richard Nixon. The text reads: Once there was a people who discovered their leader had no values, no morals, and no ethics. And they said: "Someone should do something to get rid of him." But no one did. So they said: "The right people should get rid of him." But no right people could be found. So they said: "The leadership should get rid of him." But the leadership excused itself. So they said: "The law should take care of him." But no law came forward. So they said: "We're tired of hearing about it. Time will take care of him." And after a time many of the people died. And those left said: "What did he do so bad in the first place?" "Beats me. He is exactly like the rest of us."
Woke to the sad news we've lost Jules Feiffer just a few days before his 96th birthday. I can think of no better way to honor his passing than by sharing this cartoon from half a century ago which described a different president, who I thought back then was the worst we'd ever see. I was wrong. RIP

RIP Jules Feiffer: Cartoonist, writer, screenwriter, historian... renaissance man. As a kid, I must've checked this book out of the library like 500 times.

The Biden administration announced new protections for 1.3 million acres in the North Slope of Alaska, a final effort to shield it from oil companies eager to drill in the ecologically sensitive Arctic environment. nyti.ms/4jvm1Uu
