Panel 1: 3 people standing next to each other. a man in the middle in a red hat representing a MAGA supporter is yelling at a man holding a phone saying "FUCK YOUR FUCKIN POST FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU" Panel 2: The man holding the phone puts up his hand and makes the man disappear.

This community-centered ethos informs everything I’ve ever read by you (even the jaded paramedic tales), and I think it is part of what makes your work sticky (complimentary).
