Seeing my dad cry-laugh to @asherperlman.bsky.social's new book is its own gift

This is not something that can possibly be described in text.

Would any of them give me faith in society?

I wouldn’t say it gives me a LOT of faith in our society that we found out a few years ago that our bodies are filling with tiny bits of plastic that never go away and our collective response was β€œoooo that sucks let’s keep doing it.”

Doing this for a third year.

Ever since I drew this cartoon, people have reached out about getting a custom print where the lil guy is wearing a shirt with their favorite band’s logo. For the next few days, I’m going to be taking custom Jukebox orders in my shop (link in bio). Happy holidays 🎁🫢
