We can also arm former UKraine with all these crappy weapons from the Arrogant West to destroy Russia, because if Russia loses she will just blow up the world, nothing to have to fight about then.

Problem solved.

But first we have to lie through our false teeth and make shit up and get as much money and human organs out of those poor former Ukrainians as the lawfare allows

And we can let the UK practice false flags aplenty in former uKraine, since the wind won't blow the radiation back towards the queen charles

What will be the next fearmongering foment¿

Nanobot space alien invaders?

Joey Biden turns into a kangaroo and jumps outta the white house into an oncoming truck? Leaving ScKamala to start four more wars...

The very oceans start to boil and melt away?

Folks start telling the truth and are struck by hailstones until silenced?

Economic collapse brings massive riots and starvation?

Elections cancelled because.... democracy?

Elvis cleans the toilet and image of Jesus is found in the toilet water?

Virgin Mary gives birth to electric eel?

These are very funny, Grasshopper, thanks for making me laugh.

You forgot about destroying cows because the methane harms the environment. And that trees produce too much oxygen.

Jimmy,

I fear if our Anne worked 24 hours a day, even she could not begin to satirize a fraction of the mephitic mischief that surrounds us.

I didn't forget about the cows and trees, I just didn't have room for all the fronts this war is being waged on! I figured I'd focus on humanity and consider doing another on the war against all living things.

Anne, your work is unique, wonderful, important! THANK YOU!! Your cartoon of the guy with a futuristic right hand is chilling.

Anne Gibbons's avatar

Thanks so much, Randall! You are very welcome. I agree about that futuristic hand. As I was drawing it, I was getting creeped out that so many people have their cell phones right there in hand as if they're already attached. YEEKS!!!

It really is a war and we need to fight back.

...but we ARE fighting back. we laugh and love life, we empathise and use our critical faculties, we don't comply with the silent majority and we use cash for daily shopping. many managed to chuck the smart/iPhone for good, no longer addicted to carrying a hand-sized satellite in one's pocket, there are so many ways....!

Hats off Anne! I couldn't stop laughing at the cyborgs rock/AI rules cartoon. Half of my friends are like that. I would love to have this cartoon on a t-shirt. I'll make sure I get one when they become available.

I see a lot of teenagers wearing T-shirts with OBEY! in 9" tall, bold, upper case letters here.

I think I'll have one made with the following:

DO

NOT

OBEY!

mary-lou's avatar

this OBEY text on Tees has been around for a while, it might be a clothing company's brand name ('Obey Clothing', 1989, founder artist S. Fairl'ey). the blurb on the website claims "....The OBEY meaning is rooted in the Do It Yourself counterculture of punk rock and skateboarding, but it has also taken cues from popular culture, commercial marketing and political messaging. Fairey steeps his ideology and iconography in self-empowerment. With biting sarcasm verging on reverse psychology, he goads viewers, using the imperative “obey,” to take heed of the propagandists out to bend the world to their agendas....." - https://obeyclothing.co.uk/about-obey-clothing/

GreaterIsrahell's avatar

Oh, ok. Thanks for clarifying. Now I'm starting to like it. Kind of like some T-shirts that have been popping up since 2/24/22: "I'm not involved in trafficking!", "I do absolutely never beat my wife!" and "I have never been a drug dealer!" in response to Russia's totally unprovoked attack on Ukraine.

mary-lou's avatar

yeah, well, idk....it doesn't make much sense to wear clothes bearing the word 'comply' to actually mean you're not complying either, does it....? or 'hate' to illustrate you're full of love, or....? there are a myriad of comparable, skewed meanings.

Anne Gibbons's avatar

I get it, but I still don't like it. If you're not in on the sarcasm, all you see is OBEY and figure these teens are fine with totalitarianism. At least I would.

There is a big difference between OBEY! and <sarcasm>OBEY!</sarcasm>. In other words, I had to spell it out.

It would be pretty amazing if their t-shirt had something superficial (think any cheezy commercial ever made) and you needed special sunglasses (a la "The Live") to actually see the OBEY text...

I'm glad you ended with "riiiight.....," mary-lou. That was exactly what I was thinking.

Expand full comment
mary-lou's avatar

indeed! like wearing a shirt with the text HATE, to proclaim that you're full of love. or 'mostly peaceful' when you're burning down civilisation. or capturing the rainbow, saying that it really means you support grooming, transgenderist thugs and child pornography.... (endless possibilities). quite horrific actually and we shouldn't let our language get captured that way.

Warrior Mom's avatar

yes, I take the OBEY thing as kind of a one word satire. At least I HOPE it is!

it's what the company purports it to be. but I think it's wrong-speak though (and similar to what they want us to believe is "safe and effective" but what is really BS).
