C-List | Snowed in with Canadian cartoonists coast to coast to coast.

Post feature image is from ‘Hiver Nucléaire’ by Cab [fr 1–2–3 & en 1–2–3 ] [seen here on bsky] It’s another Sunday C-List! The fan, smothered in excrement, is threatening to rip loose from its moorings as we collectively either watch in horror or look away.
