Puppy, It's Cold Outside

Pets would be much safer with Haitian immigrants than with MAGAts

I got this idea from another guy’s cartoon. Cartoonists do that all the time but don’t admit it. I’m not talking about stealing ideas. I’m talking about seeing a cartoon and it taking your brain somewhere else. That’s the case here, but I still think I should thank my friend, Tim.

Tim Campbell is a very good friend of mine. We talk now and then and he invited me to visit him the last time I was in Indiana, where he lives (the invite would have been really weird if he didn’t live there). I didn’t do it because of time. I was in Indiana to walk my niece down the aisle at her wedding and then I had to quickly get out of Indiana because it’s Indiana. It’s one of the states that makes me say “ew.” In 2023, Tim invited me to share a ride from San Francisco to the airport with his daughter or someone like that when we were in the city for a convention. I didn’t do that either because I wanted to get to the airport early so I could draw a cartoon, and I did. But, he’s a great guy and I would like to hang out with him more.

Today, his cartoon was more of a public service announcement than a political cartoon, and that’s OK. We all need a break from the bullshit and from Trump. That was redundant. But Tim is looking out for dogs and cats or he just wanted to draw a penguin. Penguins are fun. Of course, there aren’t any penguins in Indiana but I once saw a Luckovich cartoon where penguins and polar bears were hanging out together, so creative license can take you anywhere.

After posting this cartoon, a reader of mine shared it on Facebook saying, “The jackass MAGAs don’t seem so concerned about that now!” That’s true, but they still believe the lie that Haitian immigrants are eating cats and dogs in Springfield, Ohio and it’s a lie I don’t think we should forget.

It’s a racist lie. It’s a racist lie that had no grounding in facts, was repeated after being debunked, and by elected officials who have no shame, along with shameless fucknuts who aren’t elected like Laura Loomer and Elon Musk. This racist lie may have even had a part in helping Trump win the election (gag). There were bomb scares and death threats over this lie and yet, they never stopped lying about it.

These goons will be running the government in 18 days and for at least the next two years. How can we trust people to run our government after they spread racist lies such as this one? That’s a rhetorical question because we can’t trust them.

This cartoon was also inspired by all the freaking snow we got today. We got a LOT of snow. Look at the image from the weather app on my iPhone.

Snow!

I’m fine. I’m staying in and I have plenty of food, milk, toilet paper, and Netflix, but if anybody wants to send beer and pizza my way, I won’t grouse about it.

By the way, I turned my TV off around noon. I could not watch the certification of the Electoral College. As I said, I don’t have alcohol.

Has Marjorie Taylor Greene blamed the Democrats yet for manipulating the weather to make it snow?
