At left is a piece by the late Gahan Wilson, whose work, which he produced for more than half a century, could be called morbidly funny.

I actually don’t think there will come a day when the world suddenly realizes that the world’s physicists were right and the climate deniers were wrong. The Earth is not going to self-ignite and burn like a marshmallow that’s fallen into a campfire.

As our planet slowly heats up, the incidence and severity of wildfires, hurricanes, droughts, heat-related deaths, and so forth will increase corresponding.

It’s probable that, long after I’ve left this planet, there will still be the Donald Trumps of the world who have no regard for truth, who are doing their best to convince the planet’s morons that the Earth is actually cooling and that our scientists are woke communists.

Brilliant Cartoonist Gahan Wilson Should Be Remembered Forever

I get that this fellow is a conservative and has all manner of charming little platitudes to articulate his political point of view.

Look, sir.  The majority of Americans simply want to live like the citizens of the happiest countries on Earth.  These are the “social democracies” of Scandinavia, Europe, Iceland, Austria, New Zealand, Costa Rica, and many others.

Their people are productive, but they aren’t over-stressed, diseased, or scared of fascism.  They take care of one another–and their environment. They are led by sane and compassionate people, and they’re not fed utter crap by their government.

One other thing they’re not: irresponsible.

Why Aren’t Americans Happier?

When you or I read what Joe Biden said last night (see left), we tend to think: “Of course. Our democracy is indeed in danger, and we need to fight to keep it from being usurped by Trump and his supporters.”

Unfortunately, when Trumpers read this, they have a very different reaction: “There they go again.  Those radical woke leftist extremists trying to make less of the work that the President has done in bringing down prices, and making America respected again by the rest of the world.”

I’ve had more productive conversations with my dogs.
