My cartoon in the January 22, 2026 issue of The New Yorker
Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.
Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.
Four giants control 80% of meat processing.
The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere.
It means more power for them and less freedom for you.
I’m not sure people realize how huge this problem is. During Trump 1.0, ~5,000 kids were separated from parents at the border. During Trump 2.0, the Brookings Institution estimates *145,000* US citizen kids have been separated, mostly in the country's interior www.brookings.edu/articles/how... 5/x
it is really important to be loud about this stuff because it's typically kept very quiet to enable people to go "See? Nothing happened, it was just people being dramatic"
Writers (and publishers!) please grasp this fundamental fact:
A press should have two accounts.
1. Author royalties. These are to be spent on NOTHING. It's the author's money.
2. Publisher profits. This is what is used to run the press and pay the publisher.
These stream never cross!
Mac & cheese!
:') Just never liked it and I feel like I'm missing something when folks turn to it as their big comfort food
When digital art programs came out there were those who insisted digital art wasn't art. I think that's what AI ppl hear when I say images made by generators aren't art. But they are intentionally disregarding the essential element here, which is fucking humanity. A human being creating something.
THERE IS NO HETEROSEXUAL EXPLANATION FOR THIS
Happy summer!
Here's my latest comic: Coffee Talk, a coffee shop meet-cute about mistaken identity. I made it in seven days, and it debuted at TCAF last week. Enjoy! (1/2)
