When I saw the cartoon, my first impression was that you had created an absurd scenario to satirize Noem's shallow self-absorption and lack of concern for people affected by the Texas floods. Then I started reading the blog, and realized that Noem herself is the absurd scenario. Holy shit. Well done, Clay, and kudos to the Instagram commenters who called this beech out on her bullshit.
There's so much to love in this toon, but my favorite is Pizza Rat floating on a pizza. Thank you for the deets and Easter eggs. Every time you satirize one of these evil p.o.s. you reduce my blood pressure with laughter. It's like having art therapy without me having to think up and draw the art. Way more efficient and hilarious than anything I would ever be able to do. Thank you Clay. 💕
I think Clay should also draw avatars for people - he could make a crypto currency fortune! Image the internet filled with Claytoonzia avatars? MAGA-verse would choke!!
Everything about the toon’s individual details & whole are so perfect. And the paintings. More, the then/now photos: whoa has she has work done! Wonder who paid. And why.
Last, almost: anyone with long hair _and sense_ knows that in a potentially dangerous situation, never leave all that to be grabbed.
And, thank you. It’s brilliant. It is perfectly targeted.
EXCELLENT 'toon and post, Clay! Anytime I write about Ms. Noem, her title is always "Puppy-killer Noem". When I see her picture, "puppy-killer" is always the first thing that jumps into my mind. Oh ... and like a few others, I LOVED Pizza Rat floating on a slice of pizza! Thanks for making me smile just a little.
Brilliant toon and blog...So many issues floating around...Cruz's luggage, Lone Ranger?, Mrs. Paul's fish sticks, Blame Bide, Jerry Jones, Wilson, plus other critters plus your tip of your hat to Adam Zyglis, and then there's Noem, and the 3 photos that define here. Absolutely genius.
Apparently the reason she shot the dog was because that is what you do to failed hunting dogs. Personally, I would have tried re-homing it. Talking of re-homing pets - the ICE raids have resulted in many families surrendering their pets either to friends (who are ill-prepared) or to shelters. Perhaps a shout-out to the shelters who are trying to help?
Apologies - it is sort of AI where the "white dog" speaks but the first part with the lady talking about her dog barking with a weird accent and eating Mexican food - it is so funny and is not AI....
And on another note - I see Rachel Maddow was AI'd - grrrrr

I want a pizza shaped pool float now with Pizza Rat sitting on it.
Noem, all I can say is Ick!
Judy, a great addition to the merch collection (if they ever do pool floats!). :)

good idea. I have no idea how to do that.
I will put together a how to and email it to you!
I agree the best was pizza rat floating. Does pizza float?
In Claytoonzia all things are possible! Right, Clay?😀
One of the best parts!
Thanks for the shout out to Adam Zyglis. I guess his cartoon struck a little to close to home for some of the magat hypocrites.
Who owns the Buffalo News? (ans. Lee Enterprises. They bought it from Berkshire Hathaway in 2020.)
Ew. I'm shocked Adam's still there.
Glad to read the blog to get the inside scoop. I’ll look for the Easter eggs now.
BTW... Assuming that watch is actually real, it costs roughly 5X your estimate.
Makes me sicker than I was.

Well done! The portrait should not feature Noem's plumped lips which showed up post 2022. Sad to hear about the threats against Adam!
She was still governor in 2022. Sad, but true.
Hard to do for you, Clay, but you really outdid yourself here. Absolutely brilliant!

This is an AI creation but - oh boy - it has some hard truths - https://www.tiktok.com/@shine_likestarr/video/7518863401913765133
And the real story - of course, I had to choose Florida (ugh!) https://www.gulfcoastnewsnow.com/article/dogs-florida-gulf-coast-left-behind-ice-detains-owners/65161287
I won't even click it if it's AI. No! No! No!

One of your best ever, Clay.
Unfortunately it doesn't open up on Claytoonz but I got to it through Substack.
I forgot to hit the publish button at claytoonz.com.
Yes, Magical Mystery Tour is a great album. But you left out Rubber Soul. *pout*
Im listening to Dion, as I write. He did a couple of albums in the last decade that are terrific: Blues with Friends, in particular.
A portrait of Puppy Killer Noem riding a horse?… Meh!…
A PHOTO of the horse riding (in the biblical sense) Puppy Killer Noem?…. Now I would definitely vote for THAT!!!
BTW…
🥳 HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!! 🥳
