Grand Ballroom of Doom

By August 2, 2021

One panel comic from the Artblog series 'Grand Ballroom of Doom' satirizing satirizing Jeff Bezos's rocket trip into space. Jeff stands in the front, smiling and making a thumbs up. In a thank you speech, he thanks his exploited workers, the fictional clone babies that he sacrificed to demons, and most of all, the nation for their shared hatred of him, which fuels his crooked interests. Two men and a woman float in the spacecraft behind him.

6 panel comic from the series Socialist Grocery, in which Sebastian is approached at work by a man asking if the prices of avocados being high is in any way related to the high gas prices; to which Sebastian spirals and thinks about googling "how to explain capitalism in 1 min," but instead just says "um... yeah, kindof."
