Another infocomic for the Village Voice, this time about the (unsurprisingly) very bad GOP tax bill. Tombstones and extended boat metaphors abound.

Thank you to AD Ashley Smestad Vélez and editor Neil DeMause for direction and for making sure I didn’t fuck up US tax law explanations.

Thanks to AD Ashley Smestad Vélez and writer/healthcare expert Nina Pearlman!

Oh no, it’s another road trip travelogue. At the beginning of August, my two best buds and I drove up to Montreal from New York and had an extremely charming time. Here are my notes, featuring narwhals, toilet plants, a garbage barge, a graveyard, several breakfasts, Leonard Cohen, Librairie Drawn & Quarterly, “luxury rubbish,” Blink-182 (Syd wanted to note that we all sang along), dirt bowls, nickel-sized hail, and disco water. Please forgive my awful French.
