I’ve gotten a number of requests / inquiries / jokes about the sale of this portrait of Charley the Australopithecine as an NFT, because of its resemblance to the “bored ape” NFT phenomenon.
If anybody wants to bid in US dollars (American), I’ll declare the high bidder the owner of this picture’s NFT (Nice, Fun Treasure).

On Wednesday 2/23 at 7pm ET (4pm PT), I’ll be doing an Editorial Cartooning Workshop, along with Shannon (“Too Much Coffee Man”) Wheeler and Clay Jones.
It’s an event for the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund and The Student Press Law Center, for Student Press Freedom Day (which is Thursday).
I’m told the event is aimed at High School students, but that all are welcome.

This week’s Classic Tom the Dancing Bug (published on GoComics yesterday) is “God-Man, in DOUBLE DANGER” (from 1997).
