This is in the top ten of Far Side comics for me.

I am.

I’m so god damn hungry.

Then don’t share it.

Most Christmases I spend alone. I used to have a good paying job so I would buy myself a Christmas present. I lost my job because of Trump and Musk cuts to government contractors. Last Christmas, I watched Looney Toons on Internet Archive under a blanket, trying not to think how lonely I am, cold I am, or how hungry I am.

I hate Christmas.

American here. I have no idea who this is.

As a mailman, I fear this.

I’ve been told it’s a texture thing.

Chia seeds. I was very surprised about the revulsion people have towards them.

My point is that we’re so inundated with terrible news and horrific policy we can’t start to mount an opposition to a specific change before the next horror arises. We had military occupations in our cities which have been forgotten because that was half a dozen scandals ago.

Personally I’ve been in panic mode for a year because I was a government contractor before Trump let Elon Musk lay me off. Due to the economy Trump is directly responsible for the only job I could find pays 1/4 of what I was making with no benefits.

Now there is a war. I’m going hungry.

We don’t think the world sees us as the Avengers anymore. At this point things are so bad here we’ve stopped thinking (which is different than not caring) about how the world thinks of us. For fuck’s sake our president started a war when we weren’t looking. It’s like riding in a bus the size of a football field being driven by a drunk, that’s what living in America is like.
