Cartoon: As a large fish is about to eat a small fish, the small fish says, “Don’t you think the whole ‘big, brawny fish eating the helpless, little fish’ thing has gotten a bit cliche of late?”

It’s a fair question. #bigfishlittlefish #fishcartoon #illustration #whimsy

A cartoon featuring a spatula and a whisk standing next to each other on a stage with curtains drawn. Above them reads a banner, “Kitchen Utensil Theater.” The spatula asks the whisk, “Is your work dangerous?” to which it answers, “It has its whisks!”

Bold text that reads: “I wonder if any of the members of the Board of Peace will help with the Epstein War in Iran.”

“Hey! Look over here, we took out some bad guys!”

Typewritten text that reads: “I believe we are more divided than we ought to be and less divided than we pretend to be.” - John Hentz

If I’m being honest.

A very colorful chicken with the words “You’ve got Chickenality!”

Typed poem: you’re guilty too by John Hentz brackish emotions both salty and clear at the mouth of the river called anger and fear a one way discussion gets no reply verity is questioned proof is denied make haste you young stringers, you chasers, you pests be vexing, be ruthless no quarter, no rest for down comes the truncheon with all their guns drawn cruelty’s their plan for the citizen pawn they’ll punish the punished for nothing at all blame them for everything then watch them crawl you may not believe it I hope that you do but if you ignore it you’re guilty too

Doing or saying nothing is the same as bringing complicit.

He’s working feverishly right now to avoid seeing it.

Yes, this is my go to episode. Best one ever.

Cartoon of a man standing a window with a sign above it reading, “SORTS” with a paper sign taped to the window that says, “All out. Check back tomorrow.”

Supplies are limited.

Typed note: “Things I miss: critical thinking, logic, reason, facts, morality, compassion, kindness, empathy. - John Hentz

Develop Empathy.

Typed note: “I’m curious. When did showing empathy become radical?”

Call me radical then, I guess.

Typed verse: “Propaganda will beat the empathy right out of you, if you allow it.” - John Hentz

Critical thing is required.

Typed verse: “Get to know the people you fear and your acceptance of harming them may disappear.” - John Hentz

We are more alike than different.

Have you ever heard someone go off, and their words are so perfectly chosen, so well said in that moment, that you’re in awe? You think, “There’s nothing to add here,” and you applaud in your head.

That’s exactly this. Pure perfection. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Only if you admit to it. 😂 Great stuff!

The house oversight committee needs to keep releasing photos and emails from the estate. Flood the zone, so that the DOJ’s delays become embarrassing for them.

I melt this stuff down and make caramel apples.

They need more time to redact the rotten tangerine’s name. He’s in the files too often they can’t keep up!

Hibachi donuts were the best!

I couldn’t agree more!

This is perfect. It is his response to everything.

This is the guy who recklessly chainsawed his way through agency after agency looking for waste, fraud and abuse, didn’t actually find any, got his government contracts and then left thousands of highly-skilled people unemployed.

Eat the rich.

How wonderful! Happy Anniversary!

Thank you very much! I appreciate that! 😊

I'm an "A.i." abolitionist.

No consumer-facing LLMs or generative "A.i." in anything.

Sure, machine learning in science and a few other limited applications is fine.

But consumer-facing LLMs and generative "A.i." that are based on theft, push disinfo, and can be manipulated by billionaires?

No.

I have new work on the way, in the meantime enjoy the outsized imagination of a bunny from a few years ago. “Bunnysaurus Rex” #bunnysaurus #illustration #kidlitart #picturebookillustration #scbwi #mixedmedia #whimsy
