The "moderate" candidates are so out of touch with regular voters they're no longer backed by Democratic LDs or the rest of the local party apparatus, so they 100% have to rely on billionaire PACs & the Seattle Times op-ed board. Which makes them even more reactionary & pro-business

also like when his own subordinate is running the PAC? how can they claim there's no coordination?

they are literally using helicopters to chase down taggers, does that also come out of the money that's supposed to go to artists who can barely afford to live here?

All of the DOOM LOOP collections I print do eventually sell out. I've doubled the print run for the new one which'll be released Oct 25 at Fantagraphics Bookstore! And of course all my Patreon subscribers get them automatically before everyone else

Just added a pdf version of DOOM LOOP Book 1 (the PooButt story arc) to my shop. Print version's sold out with no plans to reprint anytime soon but I'm proud of this story & it keeps staying relevant with all this graffiti hysteria bullshit.

GUY 1: Whats with the helicopters? Is Trump sending in the National Guard?
GUY 2: Nah, that's just the graffiti task force
GUY 1: And over there–is that an immigration raid?
GUY 2: Nah, they’re just doing a crackdown on street food vendors 
GUY 1: When the jackboots come how will we even notice
GUY 2: Shhh, not in front of the surveillance camera

For a guy who ran on dashboards, the dashboards certainly have not been kind to Bruce

this guy has the entire machinery of a city government with a $9 billion annual budget at his command and the best he can come up with is "AI MLK on downtown video billboard." That's his attempt at being visionary.

this is what passes for "innovation" in the Harrell administration: some AI slop on a video billboard downtown. this guy is cooked

This cartoon is from Oct 2022. These two clowns are now begging the president to invade the city they've based their careers on slandering (neither of them actually live here). What a world.
