An extremely upsetting, deadly day on Wednesday. All the doing of Donald Trump and his enablers, who are fully culpable.

This week’s comic is a Calvinesque and Hobbesian look at sedition: A boy president and his imaginary publicist must battle imaginary election fraud.
“See, a lot of allegations out there!”

Please forgive me for re-posting these two comics that already went out in this Newsletter the weeks they were first published.
Back in November I did this comic, commenting on the fact that Trump’s malicious gambit of lying about the election to his millions of cultists may be clownish in its execution, but that doesn’t make it any less horrifyingly dangerous.
Believe me, it’s hard for a satirist to try to find a humorous way of saying, GUYS, THIS ISN’T FUNNY.
“Coup Coup for Cocoa Puffs”
And in December, this comic: “A Civil War over pretend fraud and hurt feelings.”

There was no Newsletter last week because of the holidays, so here are the Super-Fun-Pak Comix featured in this and last week’s GoComics Super-Fun-Pak Comix page (from 2001).

That’s enough, that’s it.
We’ve lived through a lot these past four years, but even from my privileged position as a mere spectator/citizen/cartoonist, these last couple of days have really gotten to me.
Otis the puppy has helped me through it; maybe the below picture will help you in some way.
And below that is information on how you can join the Tom the Dancing Bug team. I hope you will.
Your friend indeed,
