Harts Pass no. 514

If counting and re-counting isn't proof... I have nothing more to say. 
 

Build Back Better Bear no. 2 - 11.24.20

Strong. Stable. Predictable. THIS is the kind of job creation and reliable work that we need. Eternally hopeful that our new administration can help to get us there and help to get government assistance into the hands of those who truly need it rather than the top-down trickle-down economic handouts that have proven time and time again to be false.

 Phew. My Thanksgiving strip this year got a little crazy. One of those ideas that never quite FULLY found its center and thusly drifts around a bit. Some days are like that :) Anyway, DEFINITELY a different kind of year. A little wild. A little cold. A memorable occasion that we hope to NEVER repeat again (although we could make do if totally necessary.) Be well. Stay safe. Wear a mask and take care of those around you. 

Build Back Better Bears!

I'm painting bears again. It's been a while, and who knows if I'll be able to hit a consistent enough groove to keep it going. That being said. I'm excited to try. Loosely speaking, I'd like to do a weekly bear. I'll post them here and share 'em around. I might even mail 'em out. I relished in a personal participation sort of way the "artistic advocacy" of the #polarbearpostcardproject but something like a #buildbackbetterbears campaign could be a little more broad. The point as always is hopeful. Just a little art to make a statement, to grab some attention, or to call out a need or highlight an action. We shall see. Bear no. 1 is ready to go.

This happens all of the time, but our recently forecast 2" of snow turned into 11! No great radar on this side of the cascades but we'll take it when we can get it. Thor's expression is a little misleading here, because we in the wolverine family actually DELIGHT in the surprise blast of winter. Onward and upward!

These next two comics speak for themselves... and I'm glad that they did! Onward and upward. There is work to be done!

Harts Pass no. 507

Among the MANY soon to be announced final hacks of the Trump administration, apparently wolverines DON'T require federal protection under the endangered species act. And neither do wolves... and neither do people really regarding current federal examples for Covid-19 protections.

Harts Pass no. 506

OK, here we go! A little late on the political cartoons but even without a crystal ball I'm willing to bet on this still being relevant.

Harts Pass no. 505

No way that we don't get tired of masks and social distancing, and not eating dinner at a friend's house... but we will! Snow in the mountains. Change is coming. One way or another its a shift in the routine. Even that small little bit is worth it right now. Stay safe out there!

Another school-related post. Teacher dads are TOTALLY the best!
