I tweeted this 2018 comic out a couple of days ago. Is there any issue more emblematic of the Trump phenomenon than his promise to "bring back coal"? A fake economic issue that was really just a cultural signifier for white grievance and atavism. Kleptocracy masquerading as populism.
And an utter, obvious failure at every level.
Coal jobs when Trump took office: 52,000. Coal jobs when he left office: 44,000

This week’s Classic Tom the Dancing Bug (published on GoComics yesterday) is Bob: Living Magazine (from 1996). It didn’t even occur to me when I queued this up, but someone on Twitter commented that this comic from 1996 about Bob pretty well sums up 2020-2021 for everyone.

And this week’s GoComics Super-Fun-Pak Comix page features comics from this installment (from 2002).
