Since late 2024, when I have not been working on Otherworldly Goods, I have posted cartoons in response to current events. Until today, I had not been posting them to this website, using social media instead to satisfy my instant gratification. There were a few reasons: 1) I was dealing with health issues after getting the flu in February 2025 that had a merry party with Long Covid; 2) I didn’t know what to do with the political cartoons I was posting on social media or how they’d fit on this website; 3) and that’s because I didn’t have a title for the strip.
Well, now I do. I am calling it “What Now.”
No question mark. Just “What Now.” Like how you would sound when you’re trying to get the dishes done and you hear a terrible crashing noise in the other room. (Children? Pets?) Or you are trying to sleep at night but your neighbors are screaming at each other at 2am instead of getting couples therapy. Or when you open your phone in the morning to scroll through the daily headlines of horror.
