ZZZAP!
Some
of you may have noticed that there was no
(ACK!) Raging Pencils comic on Friday because I recently
treated my nervous system like a rented mule (#$@K!) and
it kicked back.
My advice in this regard is to not sit awkwardly at your
(GGHHK!) computer playing games for long periods of time
as it might cause your spine to shift just enough to send
your
(AGGHK!) upper
nervous
system
into a masochistic frenzy, setting into motion a (ZZHK!)
cascade of electro-muscular spasms up and down your neck
and skull
until you begin to regret your own
mortality.
Unless, that is, you (GRRK!) like that sort of thing.
I'm better now with only the occasional (URK!) reminder to
maintain proper (ERRK!) posture.Onward.

Dear Harris election campaign: Please consider my humble
cartoon as a quick example of holding that horrible orange
jackass up
to public derision. I am certain that exposing his "brilliant"
slogans for the simplistic twaddle they are would give all
of those living in reality a hearty chuckle and would sincerely
piss off all the rest. It's win-win.

The GOP is currently catapulting the propaganda that America
just doesn't have enough kids. Do you know what kind of societies
have large families?
Primitive, unindustrialized ones. Where birth control is
absent and having extra kids is money in the bank when harvest
time
comes. So what if a few succumb to illness or disease or
starvation along the way. Mom and Dad can always make more.
Indisputable data has revealed that as a society becomes
more industrialized the smaller the family size becomes.
That's why population numbers in India and China are predicted
to drop considerably by the end of the century.
So what is the GOP's game? As always, they've picked a voiceless
avatar, in this case children who have not yet been born,
to use as leverage to increase their grip on the levers of
power. Conservatives don't give two shits about children
and their policies on health care, education, and childhood
poverty all prove it.

FYI: For those on the lookout for new RP's during the week
my schedule lately is to wake up Mon-Wed-Fri, scan the news,
rap myself sharply on the noggin with a fried baloney sammich,
and then frantically crank out a 'toon hopefully before the
5PM deadline I set for myself.
For years I used to punish myself striving to post my 'toons
on Sun-Tues-Thurs nights at precisely midnight but I'm reserving
those evenings now for much-needed recreation. Thanks for
sticking around until they show up.

Final thing: There's a new reboot of Batman in Pop-Cultureland
so I had to check it out. Thumbnail review: Kid stuff…
BUT, the Penguin, who is a woman in this new series, has
two dorky adult sons and they strongly resemble Eric and
Donald Jr. Maybe there's some wish-fulfillment going on here
by the writers but Ms. Penguin early on throws "Eric" into
a steamer trunk and dumps him in the ocean. Yeah, he dies.
Later she issues a fatwa on "Donald" when he rats her out
to the
cops
because
he knows he's next. Weird family. Don't know where the writers
get these ideas.
