I sketched this out like a week from the inaguration, but it took until today to finish it. I feel worse than when I made the sketch, but at least I got it done.

Aww that's so sad, poor Foxfire! Great comic though, well done! :3
Yeah, but at least the pizza was tasty. Thank you, I appreciate it.
Seriously though, great art and best of luck withstanding Mango Mussolini and diet Ford's regime.
Another great term I've been hearing recently is 'manufactured consent'. Just spin the narrative as much as possible so it aligns with your goals, pretend what's right in front of you is something else. Pretend Trump is a reasonable candidate so you can rake in more money, scrub over a genocide with passive language, call a Nazi salute an odd hand gesture.
Thank you, I'll try my best.
It really feels like the world is going down the drain sometimes. For the last few decades, there was some progress (very slow progress, but still progress) towards a better future, but now it feels like more and more people fall for hate and division again. I just wish I could hug everyone and promise them that everything will be okay, but I don't know if I could keep that promise :c
Yeah, growing up I got to see some outward change in certain social issues, but it does feel like it hit a wall, and now we're scrambling to prevent it from falling over entirely. Honestly some of my earliest memories are others showing unease around gay couples and the press legitimizing bible thumping 'gay is sin' nonsense to keep marriage illegal. I just have to try and think that it's just my limited life experience that makes this feel new and special, and that just like every other time in history, there was resistance to positive change and droves of evil people doing evil shit. Awful things are absolutely going to happen, but we have to keep moving forward and doing good when we can. That's part of why I made this comic to begin with. It might feel negative, but saying nothing about this when I had the capacity as an artist felt far worse. If the media doesn't even have the ability to call out a fucking Nazi salute, what do we even do if not call it out ourselves? I've always wanted my art hobby to be escapism, but sometimes it just can't be.
We can't promise everything will be okay, but we can promise to try and continue existing in this world, and to help ourselves and others when we can. It's hard to fight hate without love, so giving that love and positivity is a great tool to help keep the fire going.
Insert dead/KO sticker here. Oof. XD
Not quite dead yet! I'm reminded of a picture of a vending machine that says "The light inside has broken but I still work".
Great job buddy, I liked your comic!
Thanks, I'm glad you did. I was a little apprehensive to check my notifications today, but seeing they were all kind messages made me feel a little better this morning. I appreciate you.
