New Cartoon: Well, Wasn't That Fun?
... It's not over until it's over, but it's looking pretty damn bad right now

Yesterday on the radio I said that Bush was staking his election on turning out the homophobe vote. I was hoping I was wrong, but I've heard a lot this morning about how "moral values" was the sleeper issue in this election. When I got up at 5 this morning I thought about just writing "oh shit" or "we are so screwed" in large letters, but in the end, I actually drew a cartoon:

...Sigh. We are SO screwed. Americans have actually legitimately given the popular vote to a man who stole the presidency the first time around. A lot of people have tried to cheer me up by saying "we survived eight years of Reagan, we can survive anything", but that depends on your definition of "survive." It was the most vulnerable who were hit the hardest—children, the poor, people with AIDS, the mentally ill, and so on—and that's what's going to happen again. Not to mention Bush's fondness for bombing people.

P.S. If you want to get new cartoons by email, please join my mailing list by sending a blank message to newtoons-subscribe@mikhaela.net. And yes, I'm still selling signed books.
