Grief
Posted on November 11, 2024 by bohemiannightsthecomic

Hey there.

No comic this week. Between a crazy work week and other things this week, I wasn't able to complete the comic. I was also finishing up the Patreon comic, so that's up now.

I found a sketch I was going to use before Mateo left for Seattle with the gang visiting Marks grave but it never made it into #1000. So with inks and color and an appropriate 'slight change', I offer it to you today. I'll be back on track next week!

    I wish Eric everything return back to normal soon.

    Oh for God’s sake. Grow TF up.

      Thank you for conveying my meaning more precisely than any illustration could have. 🙂

    *sigh* really?

    There’s no cure for terminal TDS, sadly.
    Funny how the sufferers always accuse everyone else for planning to do what they were already in the process of doing themselves.

      He’s an adjudicated rapist and conman. He’s proven he can’t safely handle classified data. He’s openly stated his intent to use the military against “domestic enemies”. He’s appointing a former captain to be Sec Defense, and an Attorney General who resigned to avoid the outcome of an ethics investigation. His remaining appointments openly ignore feedback from experts in their field in favor of their pet theories. This will, among other things, result in a major resurgence in childhood deaths from preventable diseases.

      His plans for tariffs will cause across the board inflation significantly above what Biden was blamed for, at the same time his plans for mass deportations, besides causing incredible human suffering, will eliminate a major fraction of the agricultural workforce in the country.

      While he has denied supporting project 2025, his Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy is one of the main authors. If carried out, the program will result in the effective elimination of the social safety net in the country, including the elimination of the VA, SNAP, TANF. This is in addition to rolling back the rights of women, including no fault divorce, which is proven to save lives.

      His advisor on “Government Efficiency” has pledged to cut more from the budget than exists in discretionary spending, meaning he is planning to cut social security and medicare.

      What, exactly, does he plan that you support?

    When did politics become the only thing people care about when it comes to relating to their fellow humans? I think it was already happening decades before I was born, but I’m an optimist and I keep looking toward the future. I don’t really know why more people don’t feel the same, because unless you plan on shuffling off this mortal life, the only answer is to endure, and in enduring grow stronger. Life isn’t easy, the stories we read here illustrate that quite well without ever mentioning politics, and I hope it continues to do that until Eric is done telling them. 🙂

    I thought the stone was going to read “Mark” until I finished scrolling down. Reading your note, I guess that’s no surprise!

    Sadly those who are taking umbrage at this particular artwork are failing to see the point. This is not about politics. It never was. This is about morality. Human decency. Empathy. Strong work Eric. Thank you sir. It won’t change the darkness of the next 4 years, but we will all get through it somehow.

      they probably aren’t bothered by things like the “your body, my choice” crap that’s been accelerating over the past week, or the harm being caused by denying supportive care to trans kids. yes, it’s about human decency.

      1. Hank

        Where was the “Your Body – My Choice” meme during vaccine mandate of the current administration? Oh, yeah. It was censored and the poster was banned. And why are children who are not mature enough to vote, drive, drink, or many other “adult” activities allowed to make permanent life altering decisions? The majority of Americans voted for free speech and the protection of children, and against a candidate who constantly called her opponent a Nazi that has a Jewish son-in-law. But then there’s the 72 mil Americans who apparently believed that candidate.

      Thank you, both! 🙂

    Eric, I fully sympathize. Let’s work together and never give up. Happy Veteran’s Day.

    As a Central-East European I can say “Divided States of America” 🙂
