I think this comic pretty much explains itself. :-)<\/p>\n

I’m happy with the art, especially with the two female figures. I drew someone in high heels! That may not seem like a big deal to you, but you don’t know how deeply and truly I suck at drawing high heels. They’re a very complex shape!<\/p>\n

I also had a lot of fun drawing the middle lady’s tattoo sleeve, although looking at it now I’m not sure I should have made it the same hot pink as her hair. Ah well.<\/p>\n

Thanks so much for those of you supporting my Patreon! I’m so lucky to be able to make my cartoons about whatever I want, and still get paid. It’s amazing living in a time of social media and crowdfunding.<\/p>\n

I have two nieces living with me, who are now 11 and 13. When I was their age there was no internet; we thought having two phone lines the house was pretty cool and high-tech. The world has changed so incomprehensibly fast. What will it be like when they’re my age? Hope I’ll still be around to find out.<\/p>\n

TRANSCRIPT OF CARTOON<\/strong><\/p>\n

The cartoon has one panel, which shows three people having a heated discussion. The three people are an older Black woman, a young white woman with tattoos and pink hair, and a middle-aged Latino man wearing suspenders and a collared shirt.<\/p>\n

OLDER WOMAN (smiling, holding up a forefinger as she explains): There’s only ONE message that will let Democrats win elections, and that message is what I already think.<\/p>\n

TATTOOED WOMAN (angry, holding up a hand in a “stop!” gesture): RIDICULOUS! The only winning message for Democrats is agreeing with what I think!<\/p>\n

SUSPENDERS MAN (angry, with his arms outspread): You FOOLS! The BEST message is what I agree with!<\/p>\n
