My comic ‘Ing from 2000, a reminder that elections aren’t endpoints and that democracy isn’t something we have, rather something we must always be in the act of doing “democracy-ing” for citizen is the most important office in a democracy. https://spinweaveandcut.com/ing-2020/

Elections aren’t endpoints - the work of renewing democracy is ongoing…

(Original draft of this, until about 30 minutes before I finished it, also read “and when it’s over we get up and continue the work of citizen” just prior to this…)

I’d been thinking a lot about hubris & hospitality - & how unbelievable a character tfg is in these terms. The ancient Greeks couldn’t have made up someone as awful as him. Could’ve done several pages exploring these themes but time & space- Midas as donkey & Odysseus were enough

Don’t know who this reaches but I know it’s necessary for me. A way to make sense of it for myself and if it helps someone else, all the better…

If nothing else, my mom was into it and wanted to print it out and put on every pole, post, and windshield she could find… so there’s that. :)

writing a short thing - the key part: "Sketching is how I understand my thinking. In jest, but quite truthfully, I have come to describe my process as, 'I’m very good at drawing badly.' This intentional indeterminacy is key to generating connections" Axe suggested Lighthouse...

Because my students rock! A poster they created for our open Comics Lab hours (aka my office)! A bit of joy in strange times. (And while I do bike each day, my bike doesn’t look like that nor does my hair….)
