RE: Latest addition to the comic collection via the blockchain
It's just unfortunate that Hive is getting so little attention with this recent crypto bull run. With the Great Social Media Purge and the deplatforming of Parler demonstrating the threat to freedom of

The Parler joke was more one for the Millennials & Gen-Z'ers out there... my understanding is much of the younger crowd barely knew it existed until last week 😄

My philosophy is that "dangerous" ideas are usually better handled through exposure to open criticism and critical analysis than by suppression. Suppression leads to widespread disenfranchisement

The presence of guns does make the average US cop's job more dangerous than in the UK, but the level of danger is often exaggerated. Farmers, truck drivers, and groundskeepers are ranked as being more

I know for a fact many hate much of the stuff they have to enforce. The good ones do what they can to make the best of it, whereas the bad ones embrace the bad laws and use them to bully people they have

RE: Nerd By Northwest #242 – “Cops Gotta Eat Too…”
Yeah, that's what worries me greatly... the lockdowns are accelerating the transfer of wealth to the mega-rich (people AND corporations). Big companies have more resources to endure lockdowns, are more

RE: Nerd By Northwest #241 – “The Empire vs. The State”
Yeah, the rabid anti-mask crowd makes the same mistake as the extremists on the other side... assigning arbitrary symbolism to inanimate objects (just in the reverse). It's not inherently a symbol of

That's the kind of sensible approach I wish most people would take. If I'm at a store, I see no issue with someone not wearing a mask, provided they're not violating others' personal space or otherwise

Do it!!! Our kids need more examples of people cleverly defying and/or mocking mindless herd behavior. 😎

I agree on precautions, but my main point is a majority of people have taken that sensible precaution and elevated it into a holy talisman, which the more extreme among them use to enforce their arbitrary

RE: Nerd By Northwest #240 – “Down the Kubrick Rabbit Hole”
Yeah, I prefer 2001, The Shining, and even Full Metal Jacket & Clockwork Orange over Eyes Wide Shut. It wasn't a BAD movie, it was just not something that resonated with me in any special way. As to

I have the same issue... sometimes I have a storyline planned weeks in advance, and then comes along holiday that I feel compelled to acknowledge. Sometimes I do and shoehorn something in the middle (like

True. But it wouldn't matter if I dressed Vanifer or any woman in question in a poncho; Magnus would still be checking out her butt... 😁

RE: Nerd By Northwest #236 – “Not a One Trick Pony”
While not our worst example of collateral damage, probably the most amusing one was releasing and siccing a starving bear on some bandits. We won the fight and the bear wandered off with its tummy full

RE: Java Jaguar 184
I haven't gambled in Vegas for quite some time. Which makes sense; after spending the past 3 years eeking out a living mining & trading cryptocurrency, I think I've been "gambling" way more

RE: Nerd By Northwest #234 – “Thanksgiving Gestapo”
Yeah, I suppose they should have asked for more, huh? Either I have zero idea how much in-home strip shows are supposed to cost, or the lockdowns and Covid economy are creating some bargain rates!

It's what happens when it's late and I'm about to hit the sack, and all of a sudden I remember "crap! I forgot to post my comic tonight!" and try to do it in a rush... 😖

Ah yes, it's incidents like that NY Mayor De Blasio snitch line fail that keep alive the bit of faith I still have in my fellow man... 😂

RE: Starfire, QuickPaint
Considering 99% of my knowledge of Starfire comes from being in the same room while the kids watch "Teen Titans Go!", regarding her stealing Robin from Batgirl I have no choice but to take your
