If you were hoping to find my cartoon this week to be about something other than the Republican jihad against transgender persons, well, I hope you will settle for being 75% satisfied.
Since I drew this cartoon Sunday night, the nightly news has been able to give us breaking reports on Donald Berzelius Trump's sexual assault verdict and George Devolder Santos's fraud indictment, so Gay Homer there can be relieved that the news writers are not, in fact, on strike.
I tend to doubt that the $5 million civil judgment against Trump in the E. Jean Carroll suit does anything to lessen the possibility of a Trump-Biden rematch next year. It hasn't revealed anything about Trump that we, including his most devoted sycophants, didn't already know in November, 2016. Nor, not surprisingly, did his pathetic display of bullying arrogance on CNN last night.
Meanwhile, the AR-15 pandemic is still wreaking havoc across the country. Between one mass shooting and its resulting funerals, there are likely to be another dozen more mass shootings. And the political party in charge of most of the country's statehouses is firmly convinced that transgender people, wokeness, and critical race theory are the greater threats to life and limb.
With any luck, I'll be able to take a complete break with the issue of transgender persecution for at least one week, and present you with a cartoon about the freshman congresscretin from Long Island... even though that news story will be pretty old news by next Thursday.
At least I might not be competing for gags with the late night chat show writers.
