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. But here goes: it’s an edit of cartoonist Asher Perlman’s “he’s going for the (band name)” comic, but with “Cow Tools” instead of a jukebox.

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 “oooo 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 🎁🫶
