Wednesday, October 26th, 2011 by Kevin MooreWell, not really a squid. More like an octopus. Sailors called it a kraken. Whatever it is, it’s now in the new Wanderlost page.

Both of These Things Are Much Like the Other
Wednesday, September 28th, 2011 by Kevin MooreTwo images making the rounds this week have at least one thing in common.

Here are two things I see: history and causality. The debt graph reaches beyond the last news cycle to put recent contributions to the national debt in a 30+ year perspective. Cornel West goes back even further, reminding us of a heady debate during the LBJAdmin.
Ha ha, silly Cornel! No one cares about poverty anymore! The Reagan years saw to that. All that debt the old man racked up had nothing to do with fighting poverty — though he certainly demonized the poor like they were the enemy and not, say, fellow citizens. As Cornel’s sign implies, all that money was put into turning the U.S. military industrial complex into a ridiculously and unnecessarily huge force in the world economy and geopolitics. Meanwhile, the gap between the richers and the poors widened to banana republic levels, the middle class shrank in size and economic power, real wages stagnated, domestic manufacturing skipped town; while schools and prisons became much more alike, although I think prisons may have the edge in educational resources.
So, hey, for all you kids totally maxed on bitchin’ 80s nostalgia: try to remember they were not totally tubular, but totally grody. The shit we presently stand in flowed directly for that toilet decade. Enjoy that mental image!
Wanderlost Updated, Warthog Unhinged
Thursday, September 22nd, 2011 by Kevin MooreA new page of Wanderlost magically appeared yesterday.
Next week: the animals attempt to leave the island. I promise no Gilligan shenanigans.
New Cartoon for My Teacher’s Union
Friday, September 2nd, 2011 by Kevin MooreGot the most recent The Gathering, the newsletter for my union, PCCFFAP, which includes my most recent cartoon for them. This one pertains to for-profit education and a DOJ lawsuit against Education Management Corporation.
I have just created a gallery page to collect these toons. Right now I am just calling it Teacher Unions, because my brain failed to think up something more clever. Stoopit brain. Suggestions welcome.
Wanderlost Page Up … Finally
Wednesday, August 31st, 2011 by Kevin MooreA new page has been added to “Long Way From Home”, the current story line at Wanderlost. Go read it!
Meanwhile I have some other projects in the works. I’ll have more information on that when they are ready. But I am pretty stoked to have my health back. Being sick is tedious.
