From Smithsonian description: "This ambitious chart presents U.S. political history on a single page. Moving from left to right, a timeline of parties, policies, persons, and events courses like a river through graphic space marked in four-year intervals. The analogy between politics and springs and rivulets (that jump and rejoin their banks) is the most conspicuous feature of the timeline. The parties appear in different colors. The ascendance of a party is gauged as its stream rises above the centerline, and above the streams of other parties. The thickness of a stream indicates the party’s strength.
The diagram is meant to dramatize U.S. political history in a more accessible shape for educators and to offer a ready reference for scholars, statisticians, and statesmen. The chart itself, titled β€œDiagram of the Rise and Fall of American Political Parties, from 1789 to 1880, inclusive,” is from the Conspectus of the History of Political Parties and the Federal Government, by Walter R. Houghton, 1880"

Absolutely incredible graphic from 1880 tracing the history of political parties in the United States.

So long as you’re not trying to make a living off it, art doesn’t have to be good.

It just has to be yours.

In space, Venus flanks Earth on the left, with a hellfire greenhouse effect. Mars on the right, which long ago had running water. Today, it's bone dry. Something bad happened on each planet.

Seems like the wrong time to limit the Nation’s capacity to conduct climate research.

Oh that is fantastic! Whenever I remember to put out bird seed in front of our window--my wife and I call it tuning in Kitty TV. But I *love* that your feline friends found their passion for syndication! πŸ˜†

This is a really quick sketched comic. It goes like this:
Panel 1: a sketch of me, hair tied up in s ponytail, bored face. "It was brought to my attention that the readers are wondering if Charlie's new trousers have pockets. So I'm here to clarify some things."
Panel 2: my pointing at Charlie, looking nice, and with her hands in her pockets. "Firstly, of COURSE it has pockets! Are you kidding me!?"
Panel 3: me pointing at a placed panel from page 77 of the webcomic, where Leopold takes a potion from his pocket. "Secondly, you should remember that even Leo's yoga pants have pockets!" Leopold is at the corner of the panel, saying "yoga?"
Panel 4: a cute Robin, hands on her dress' pockets. Me, screaming "you know what? So does Robin's cute dress!!"
Panel 5: i have my finger up, closed eyes, and say "as a matter of fact..." And Boopsie is there, eyes wide, smiling maniacally, saying in a spellcasting voice "ALL CLOTHING SHALL HAVE POCKETS! IT IS THE LAW!"

For those wondering about Tavern Wenches, that my webcomic I made! Did the website with Hugo and NetlifyCMS. I have an example project of what I did to build a comic site using Hugo over at github.com/sfrisk/webco... if you ever want to check it out.
