OK Xer: Generation Gapz #14
This is our last “Generation Gapz” news commentary comic. Frankly, we’ve come to the realization of late that we read TOO MUCH news. We’re weary of our brain being broken and our soul stolen every day by the shittiness of the world and our powerlessness in it. So we’re going to take Morrissey’s advice and…

OK Xer: Generation Gapz #13
When one reads as much news as we do, one is treated to viewpoints from across the generational spectrum. ONJ. Christine McVie. Julee Cruise. Loretta Lynn. In 2022 we mourned the passing of several songbirds of our youth. It feels like the world grows less original and less talented by the day. We predict in…

Kentucky Fried Cracker
We had a dream once that we were on a game show called “Tell It To My Face” where contestants battled to see who could spew the most insults and bleeped-out swears within a certain amount of time. The winner got the opportunity to say something hateful in person to a celebrity or politician and…

A Disturbing Display of Deplorable Distaste
It is to our great shame that our hometown of Waterloo, IA, convicted John Wayne Gacy for raping a minor in 1968 but a mere 18 months into his 10-year prison sentence set him free…free to flee to Illinois where he embarked upon his sickeningly infamous serial murder spree. It is to our even greater…

When one reads as much news as we do, one is treated to viewpoints from across the generational spectrum. We were not surprised to hear of the goring, slashing, and maiming of various tourists in America’s national parks this past summer.

Fuck Coca-Cola 4Ever
Waaaaaay back in 2003, we read that Coca-Cola was tricking farmers in India into putting toxic sludge on their fields, destroying the soil and poisoning the land and water in the process, so in response we painted this little watercolor. Flash-forward nearly 20 years and we find this evil corporation, hell-bent for decades on the…

OK Xer: Generation Gapz #7
When one reads as much news as we do, one is treated to viewpoints from across the generational spectrum. Dammit Joe, we thought by now you’d have slipped on the banana peel upon which one of your feet currently rests. Some of us want a lady president, preferably of our own generation. (NOT YOU, PALIN.…

Mother of Corgis
A self-portrait inspired by Game of Thrones and medieval depictions of the Holy Family; we felt compelled to share this upon the death our fellow Corgi enthusiast Queen Elizabeth II. May she and her “moving carpet” be reunited in The Force. (Pictured: Deanie Baby, Hanky Panks, and Yuuko-chan)

The Ruined Landscape of Steve Bannon’s Face
This canvas has seen a lot of action. For nearly 20 years we tried to make something work with it but couldn’t get anything to click. After the umpteenth recoating of gesso dried it was clear: the canvas was now a total piece of garbage, so laden with globs of poorly-applied paint, so covered in…
