@Daran: That's a good call.

Radical Gender Ideology
This cartoon is by me and Nadine Scholtes. In a way, it’s also by Samantha Fulnecky, because a lot of the dialog was swiped verbatim from a paper she wrote. But I don’t think she’d appreciate a co-writing credit. “Radical … Continue reading
Beware God’s Sock Puppets

Cartoon: God Bless

Everyone Hates Atheists Except Jews And Atheists

Writing a Poem is a Confrontation with the Unknowable
It’s been a long time since I believed in a god like the biblical one I learned as a child that I was supposed to love and fear, respect and obey. I’ve written a little bit about why I stopped believing, and I’ve written out … Continue reading
