Public Flogging for 1/24/2025
I'm gonna break my rusty cage and run.. right after coffee
Status Updates:
I may need to start this newsletter with something other than status update. At least until we’re done signing dumb ass executive orders. Have we started renaming mountain ranges after Trump Kids yet?
I’m full of things that I want to say. Others are already doing a better job of that than I can. Honestly, I’m not sure it’s doing any good. We HAVE to keep shouting “This is wrong” but at some point we have to accept that they really do trust this guy. If he jumps off the cliff they will follow. We need to be ready to hang on when they try to drag us over the cliff with them.
So today I’m going to jump right into this weeks comics.
Reference
With the rise of Ai and the fall of fact checking we're going to desperately need reference material to be the final say when we just start making crap up and go back to thinking the earth is flat and are starting wars to convert all those who believe it's round.
Never for you
I don't even feel like this is stretching the truth much anymore. Unless you have a few million in the bank you get NOTHING. The current governmental plan is to distract the people with a performative anger, declaring a state of emergency, stripping rights away from US citizens, all while stealing from the governmental coffers. He signed a pile of orders that if not challenged will do that.
All for them and none for you.
Sailor
While I was not the drunkest of the crew, I've done some experimentation and have discovered that a drunken sailor is pretty useful and can be put to a number of tasks.
Thunderboy
I really do think it would be fun to bring back this old comic idea but I'd really want to make sure the idea was better fleshed out this time.
Thank You
I’m leaving you with a favorite from my archive. This is a strip done on 8/16/2010. It was a legit thing and the couple may actually still be together.
What's Next:
Next weeks comics are posted for M-W-F. I may slip in more comics if something jumps out at me and goes WTF.
What I'm Reading/Doing:
I swear I’m trying to not read the news.. anything but the news.
