Yeah, I never knew his name or exactly what he was (!) but I recognized Peezy's little friend. Oliphant was a great cartoonist; very "sharp", like you Clay. As for the assholes who apparently spend their time thinking up nasty and stupid shit to write in the comments, ignore them. What little lives they must lead.....
ICE should not even exist, certainly not in its present form. I cannot understand how any person can, in good conscience, be a part of ICE and still sleep at night. Good 'toon, Clay ... and I did recognize Punk down with Peezy! Oliphant, like the others you mentioned, were the best in their time!
I would like to know how many of those ICE officers are part of a white supremacist group. This would be right up their alley, harassing, arresting, and making people of color's lives miserable.
I happened to read Jack Ohman's column earlier, so I was able to catch the reference to Pat Oliphant--Peezy did, too! Nice!
Not a day goes by, so it seems, that we don't learn of another egregious incident perpetrated by the masked "patriots" known as ICE. It's gotten to the point where I'm actually afraid to read the news of the day.
It helps that cartoonists with guts, like you, point this s**t out and help us deal with it and don't allow us to become immune to it, horrifying as it is.
This is one of those cartoons that hits hard. No laughter here, for this one, nor should there be. Keep speaking truth.
Also, maybe you'll be encouraged to know that my first thought upon spotting that extra character in the corner was, "Hey, is that a tribute to Oliphant?!" I was happy to read that it is, indeed. Thank you.
Clay, there's a reason I haven't commented on Gocomics in a while, mainly that it is overwhelmed by trolls. Reason does not seem to be operative in most of the commenters lately. Keep up our good work, it's welcome to some of us who still can think. I'll stick with you and Ann Telnaes for the present. Thanks for what you two do.
I have long been of the opinion that the Gocomics trolls are part of the organized network that's out of Russia via India. Not necessarily paid, lots of people will jump in on the fringes of any out of the mainstream grouping as happy volunteers.
But yes, they are useful idiots or paid. I don't think anyone sane enough to type understandable sentences could believe that nonsense. I suppose they could be replacing them with AI? Feed an AI enough garbage and they'll sound like a troll 24/7.
They are Goons that have little training and little restraint who demonstrate total disregard for human life. Shooting helpless victims in their vehicles and then we find out these victims weren’t even the intended quarry… How Trumphukian! Shooting men who are legally in the country, raising families by doing hard work and then in one case dragging his dying body out of the vehicle and handcuffing him as he dies— his blood flowing into the pavement as he is unattended. Your cartoon shows these goons as the clueless, heartless, tools of oppression that they are.
Wives are mourning, children are fatherless. Where is the justice for them?
I’m angry and I’m sick of the damage that is being done by this indecent, cruel criminal regime.
You put a bit of humor in your cartoon with the churros — that represents their stupidity and callousness.
We can only hope that you don’t have to repeat this cartoon in the future … But I am losing hope that we can stop this insanity.
Your FB and GoComics “fans” sure are touchy. If there is a cartoonist I consistently don’t find funny, guess what? I don’t look at it. These dimwits should try it, but they do like to bitch.
The little head with Peezie is your homage.

I would bet the vast majority of them are white supremacists. Some even seem to take pleasure in what they do!
That wouldn't surprise me at all if they did. But it's sad.
Some of the best if all time....

Thanks for that!
Accurate cartoon.
I noticed the Oliphant tribute almost immediately. He was great.

Peezy has his pink tail back!! Speaking to Oli....
Thank you again for your 'toonz and helping capture the horror of what the USA has become.
Stay healthy. The FB and GoComics comments mean you are getting to a wide audience.
You mention subscribers helping, but I do hope buying items from your store and giving to your GoFundMe also help.
The store is more for the readers as I have made my profit margin as low as redbubble will allow, so I don't make any money from it.
Ah all the more reason to do the send you funds directly, Venmo, GoFundMe...aside from subscribing of course....

Ditto, Susan.
I am so astonished by ICE...your work points out the horrors.
So depressing
Will Punk be hanging with Peezy once in a while now?
No. I would not be comfortable with that and there wouldn't be a reason for it.
That would be great!
I saw his little buddy hanging with Peezy....
R.I.P., Mr. Oliphant.
ICE is simply a goon squad

Vote the REPUGNANTCANTS out in the midterms!
I'd hope for them to be punished, but you KNOW that Trump is going to have every record burned and thrown into the Potomac before he leaves office.
Welllll Bobby Jr. would be happy to swim out there and retrieve them!
I agree you cannot count on the Trumphukians to keep records on their corruption and dirty dealings.
Accurate strip to be sure.
The "Task Force" killed a couple in Memphis last week. Gov Lee is fine with that, so you won't hear anything about it.
Clay, not in the SF Reporter for awhile now.
Really? Weird. I always hate when there's new ownership/management of a paper.
Reason I came to you direct!!! Yay! Take care. Best, Sally
ICE should be renamed FCI, "Federal Churro Investigators".
